Clustered Spires Golf Course

The course was in really good shape for the second week of November, and made for a great day. Played seven holes before running into a slowdown with groups ahead, and even so finished in less than 3 hours 30 minutes.

The staff was very friendly! Course is not overly challenging and in great shape! If not for the hour drive, it would be my home course!

This course "fits my eye". For some reason, the layout (particularly from the senior tees, but on the others as well) invites carefully planned shot, but the planning doesn't involve clairvoyance. There are a number of risk/reward decisions to make, but if you know your game you can figure it out.

The greens are very true, and aren't as tricked up as some of the courses in the DC-Baltimore-Frederick areas. They've been in fabulous condition, as has the entire course.

The fairways are sufficiently wide that you don't feel that you need to play target golf, but not so wide that you can just flail away. The rough has two cuts to it, with the first cut being long enough to slow down a roll, but not so deep as the require a superhuman shot to get out. A ball there is easily located and will be sitting up enough so that half the ball (or so) sits above the level of the grass. The second cut is longer - maybe 1-1/2 to 2 inches deep. It's thick, but not the absolute kiss of death. Nearby Little Bennett golf course in Montgomery County has rough that in contrast seems like it's prepped for the US Open.

I went there as a single and was teamed up with some fabulous companions. I played pretty well, largely due to the friendly and encouraging attitude shown by my playing partners.

As a bonus, the grill is managed by Brewer's Alley. I haven't yet tried the food, but they have a fabulous collection of local craft brews available.

I have played most of the Frederick, MD courses and this one ranks right up there with the others. Obviously not the challenge of Whiskey Creek or Worthington Manor, but Clustered Spires is a solid challenge with multiple ways of playing the course. I will play it many more times. Great experience.

Proably the best conditions in the Baltimore metro area. Very large greens and good roll conditions. Fairways very lush. Like hitting off carpet. Hitting fairways is very critical on this course. The ruff is very punishing. Will play this course again and again.

I found an incredible deal at a course that was in superb shape. I only wish my game was in as good of shape as the course.

I play all over. Some of the so called "better courses" are struggling to keep their fairways green this summer. I don't know how Clustered Spires does it but the fairways are always top notch. I love this course! The greens were in excellent condition as well. I had no complaints.

This course is great for intermediate or social golfers. The pace was steady, the hazards are minimal (there is some water), not too much change in elevation. Very walkable if you like that challange.

The greens were freshly aerated, so that is way I only gave 3 stars for the value. Overall, a very pleasant day to get out of the city and enjoy a relaxing round of golf.

The course was in great shape for late August (some of the other courses in the area have suffered from the heat).

For the money it is a winner. Good condition and receptive greens. Walked 18 in 3 and a half hours. Price was right and staff very friendly. Looking forward to playing again.

There are several course in or near Frederick County, Md but this one is a can't go wrong choice. The course is well cared for and challenging. The greens are fast and the rough is rough.

The staff is great & the course has been in very good condition both times I have played here!

Clustered Spires is a fun course. Its not overly challenging, but due to the pin placements, its challenging enough.

There aren't many blind shots or doglegs, but pin placements are usually behind bunkers with very little green to work with for your approach. Its a fun course and it does not purposefully try to be harder than it is.

The staff is great, very cool.

Played this course many times and every time the course is in great shape. The greens rolled nice, always in fantastic shape. Enjoy this gem of a course!!

Great Course in great shape for a great cost.

They are serious about pace of play so keep up. Conditions are excellent despite the quantity of play. Scott and Andrew are fabulous pros. Everyone is friendly. Love this course. The memberships are a GREAT value if you live in the Frederick area and play a good amount of golf.

Loved this course. Good, fair challenge from the tips...with some tough holes and some scoring "opportunities". Course was in great shape. I wouldn't put it in the same category as Whiskey Creek or Worthington Manor...but it's not far behind.

This course is well kept and challenging. Just need to watch out for all the geese! Enjoyed playing with my husband and son.

The course i liked! My first time playing it, and it's got a good layout. Pace of play was HORRIBLE though. Not to mention it took 20mins to get 2 sodas at the turn. Talk about bieng understaffed,, wow!!!
