Golfer Reviews
great course
The golf course was in great shape . would enjoying playing once a week they really take care of it.they are very friendly and make you feel welcome. a good speed of play. the green were in great shape and fast like i like them
Greens A++++
Course is always in great shape particularly the greens. Greens were A+, Fairways A-, Tees B. Rough is thick but not ridiculously high. Pace of play was fantastic on the front 9 until we caught a crazy slow twosome on the back. Still played in less than 4 hrs. Value on Golf Now was A+++.
Great Shape, needs marshals.
The course is in excellent shape, but the rough is thick(US Open thick). The staff was friendly and attentive, except the course really needed marshals. The front took 2.5 hours mostly because of the group in front of us, after they left after nine the back took under 2 hours. My son and I played the course about 4 years ago, as part of a group, and always wanted to go back. We took our wives and we weren't disappointed. The tee box, fairways and greens were great, but both of the wives had trouble whenever they were unlucky enough to get into the rough. Example, on the 18th I missed the green with my second shot, I was right about 10 yards behind a bunker, and need a full swing with a gap wedge to carry the ball just those 10 yards. I would good, and hopefully will, go back again.
Great Course
The greens were in great shape. This is a fairly wide open course but the thick rough make your tee shot critical.
What a pleasant surprise in the heart of Frederick.
This was out first visit to Clustered Spires. It was a pleasant surprise. The public course was in great condition from tee to green. Once the poa annua dies off on the greens in the next couple of weeks, the greens will be quicker and not as bumpy. The front nine is open and relatively flat to ease you into your round. The back nine tightens up a bit and truly brings the lay of the land into play. There are several elevation changes and trees to hit around which makes it quite different and challenging. My only suggestions would be a few more sprinkler heads for distance measurements and a better marked driving range for yardage distance. Overall a treat to play and a course we will definitely be coming back to play.
beautiful course and very affordable
really nice course. it's my first time there because it's quite a drive for me to get there, but I definitely would come back and play there again!
not too hard, not too easy
saturday at 1pm. place was packed, as expected. it was a little slow, but not too slow. the course was in good condition. The
most challenging part of the course for me, was the thick rough, which not only was hard to get thru, was also hard to find your ball because the ball would sit down so easily.
Overall, good value for the GolfNow rate.
The course was in good condition..greens rolled smoothly, and the tee boxes were in very good shape. The rough was very penal, making hitting the fairways more important.
There is a good blend of long and short holes on the course with some real chances for birdies throughout the round. Make sure you get your birdies on the card before the last three holes though...they are very challenging!
Good but on the boring side
The course is in good shape and the holes are wide open. This takes some of the challenge of the course. One problem with the course, is actually not the course itself but its location. The course is located near an airport and there are frequent helicopter flyovers which can be distracting and frustrating.
Best maintained course around
Always in great shape and fun to play I would recommend clustered spires a must play.
GREAT COURSE
The course is always in great shape. Hats off to the staff. Keep up the good work.
Normally in good condition
Clustered Spires is usually in good condition. This time the greens had been aerated and were not suited for putting, but more frustrating is that the minor ruff was thick and cut high and balls could not be found resulting in slow play and lost balls. The fairways did not offer much ball support and were suffering from a grass blight. Having, said this, these conditions should improve as the season progresses and return CS to its usual great play. A few other courses in the area were also in this condition.
Course is very good for us old guys! Challenging but forgiving.
Course is very good for us old guys! Challenging but forgiving. The fairways and greens in great shape and the staff was very courteous.
Very nice course
Unfortunately, they had just aerated the greens, which I wasn't aware of, but I guess for $40 with a cart I should have been suspicious. Other than that, the course was very well maintained. I can tell as the weather gets warmer, the fairways will grow in a little nicer. They were a little shaggy, but I attribute that to the recent rain. The layout of the course was very nice, not too long, and not very difficult. Unfortunately, the play was very slow. It took about 5 1/2 hours to complete the round, but that's what happens on Sunday afternoons.
Bring your short game
Early season, but the course was pretty dry and the greens were firm and fairly fast. The greatest challenge is offered by the greens, of which many are undulating and/or multi-tiered. This also means that you must calculate your yardages carefully so that you do not leave your approaches/pitches in unputtable spots.
The final three holes are very challenging, at least from the back tees: a 230 yd par 3, followed by par 4s of about 420 yd and 470 yd. Don't count on any late birdies -- +1 on this stretch is a good score for anybody.
NB: This course is hosting the Maryland Amateur Public Links in 2013.
Excellent value, Excellent Course
Clustered was in absolutely great shape. Greens we rolling extremely fast for mid March, fairways and tee boxes were also in good shape. Course was backed up due to frost delay but that's to be expected on the first 60 degree day of the year. Staff here is always friendly, grass range plus separate chipping and putting areas.
Nice course
The course was quite wet from heavy rain the day before; however, it played well anyway. The course has a really nice layout with a variety of degrees of challenge, from fairly easy to fairly tough. It's a course worth playing.
Course is in good shape for mid-Winter
Our foursome played Sunday mid-day in 41/2 hours. No real backups despite being somewhat crowded. Greens and fairways were free of any debris and in good shape. There were several sandtraps not in use (under repair). The green (Senior) tees were generally not available so course length for me was a bit too far...plays to about 6500 yards from the whites. It was my first time there and I will cxertainly return.
