Excellent Service

Clustered Spires was a fun and challenging course. The greens and fairways were especially well maintained. The course is far from my home and I forgot my rangefinder in the cart. The staff found the rangefinder and sent it back to me free of charge. I was not sure if they could send it back to me at all, so I am super impressed and appreciative of their service. Thank you so much and I will be sure to recommend the course to friends and play here again soon!

Clustered Spires Golf Course – 4.5 Stars

Clustered Spires is a very enjoyable public course that delivers great value for the price. The layout is open and inviting, making it friendly for all skill levels, while still offering enough bunkers, doglegs, and water hazards to keep things interesting. The greens are generally in good condition, roll true, and the fairways are well maintained.

The pace of play is usually solid, and the staff is courteous and helpful, making the overall experience smooth from check-in to the 19th hole. It’s a straightforward, honest course—nothing overly flashy, but reliable and consistently fun.

If you’re looking for an affordable, well-kept track in Frederick, Clustered Spires is a great choice for both casual rounds and regular play.

First time at Spires

Despite a tournament just before us, pace of play moved well. I really liked the layout and challenges of the holes. The only thing I didn’t like was that despite playing before 1pm we had to pay full price without a senior discount which starts at 1 pm but when my / other friends paid a few minutes later a different staff member only charged them $47 instead of $72

Course is rough

Greens are the best aspect of this course. Tee boxes need work. Fairways are as tall as the rough. The rough is thick. Bunkers are awful many of them being unplayable. Course staff was very bland don’t expect a warm welcome.

Another great day at Clustered Spires

We have alway loved the course and seniors play it at a fair price. The weather was perfect 80s, low humidity.

The fairways and tee boxes were a mess. The hot humid rainy July really took its toll. The greens were perfect which we appreciated.

My group decided early in the spring to play here once a month. We live in Howard County. We also decided to eat at your snack bar. Tara is a wonderful hostess. The food and the choices are excellent. The prices are fair. The college girls that work there are very well trained and personable. So we don't go to Five Guys or any other place nearby. We stay and have a terrific lunch at the course. This is the only course where we do this.

Enjoyed

Several areas dure to past weather conditions were shabby. The course help were addressing all green, fairway and tee areas. These areas were being repaired. Everyone was very friendly.

Great city course

Greens great, fairways ok, most tee boxes beat up. I used to live here and played it a lot. Visiting now. Still great course for the money.
