Clustered Spires Golf Course

overall good condition, greens were the best of any public course i've played this year.

Fun and fair layout. Pace of play on weds afternoon in November was almost 5 hours. Hate to be there in season. Fix pace of play and I will come back.

Staff was better than cordial, but would have appreciated some awareness or supervision of pace of play. A couple of groups ahead of us spent quite a bit of time looking for lost balls.

If it weren't for the slow pace, the course would be rated better

Clustered Spires is nicely designed and maintained and is also well managed. Given the unlimited water supply, the course is always green and in good condition. As an added bonus, it is a great walking course.

Course was in good shape, Pace of play was slow but we played behind a corporate outing!!

The course is generally maintained well besides a few spots here and there. They usually do not run on time, always causes a back up and the pace of play slows significantly. Fairly easy course, flat and wide open. Do play here a lot due to a good value and close to my home.

We played this on a weekday and the course conditions were superb in both the fairways and greens. Course is not difficult but some holes were challenging. Play was slow but group in front of us played from the TIPS which was beyond their skill level and no rangers to move them along.

We found the course a pleasure to play. It's wide open with some tough holes to play. Will go back again.

We played a late tee tine on Saturday afternoon and scooted around the course in no time. We challenged ourselves and played from the tips, which made our 2nd shots pretty critical. Not having played the course probably made it the most challenging for yardages and landing spots on greens. The greens were a little bumpy and on the slower side but we attributed this to late in the day and aeration a few weeks ago. The rough can be challenging all around. We were very pleased with the course and will definitely travel 1.5 hours back there again to play!! The view on #16 is like no other. Late in the day and into the wind, 3 wood barely got to the front.

Clustered Spires is one of our favorite courses. The holes have lots of variety, good mix of hazards and tough rough if you leave the generous fairways. Deer and other wildlife are often your playing companions. Women tees provide a healthy head start for shorter hitters.

Staff, clubhouse and grille all top-notch.

Clustered Spires continues to be an excellent value. I play golf all over the state of Maryland and for the price this course is hard to beat. Lots of pride shows through with the condition this course is always in.

I love Clustered. I play there about every other week. If you book on golf now, it is always worth it.

After a long, hot summer the greens played great. Not too hard but played fairly fast and allowed you to putt through the breaks. Sand was inconsistent from the few unfortunate times I found myself there. Sometimes matted down and sometimes too fluffy. Rate of play was unusually slow for 12:30 on a Friday. It was the best day of the year so I can't complain. For my favorite course in the area I was very pleased with the condition.

This course always is in great shape. The greens are plush. Great value. I make the travel from Baltimore to Frederick almost 3-4 times a month to play here.

Played this course all the time growing up. Now some 10+ years later it was interesting to go back and see what's changed. The mature trees now make accuracy a bit more important, but most holes give room to miss. Greens still don't break as much as they look. They added some higher grass near some of the holes to catch strays.

Overall while there's still nothing special about the layout, and it's in decent shape, with lots of divots in the fairways, and not enough sand in the sand traps. We got around as a 2 some in just over 3 hours, but I've played some long ones here when it's busy.

If you can get the hot deal price, or a decent discount, give it a whirl - it's not worth full freight.

Course was in very good shape. Greens were rolling very true. Only negative was cartpath only. Otherwise great outing.

This a pleasant course where you won't lose many golf balls. My wife, a beginner, liked it a lot for that reason. I'm a 4 handicap, and I found it pretty easy, even from the tips, although there are three or four challenging holes, including a 237-yard par 3 and a 491 yard par 4. If there was more trouble nearer the fairways, it would be decent tournament course, but you can get away with a lot of bad swings. The conditions were nice and the course is attractive. Pace of play for a Sunday afternoon was good.

Clustered Spires has always been one of my favorite courses. If I lived closer, I would play it more often. The value on Golfnow was well worth it. We played in about 3 hours 10 minutes only because it was 100+ degrees and we were two of only a few fools playing in the heat! Course is in great shape especially considering the weather.

clustered spires is a city owned course in Frederick MD. from the whites its not long but a challenge. it has a variety of different holes. not a lot of elevation change. definitely fun to play. good price if you go through golf now.
