Black Rock Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Black Rock Golf Course may be one of western Maryland's newest courses but it's located near some of the country's most historic sites. Antietam Battlefield and Harper's Ferry are just a few minutes away from this scenic course. The opening holes of the layout are tucked into the Shenandoah Valley while the back nine climbs uphill, offering views that stretch across the Appalachian Mountains. The golf course has plenty of holes that will please long hitters, but mature trees and thick rough frame most of the holes, demanding accuracy. Traps protect the front of most of the greens and you'll come across dramatic undulations on some. The par-4 13th is arguably Black Rock's toughest hole. This sharp dogleg right has a massive tree to the right as well as a pond right in front of the green.

Fun Outinh
I was bringing a friend to introduce her this course. It was a beautiful day. Surprisingly, the course is not busy. Overall, the course is in good condition. Some of tee boxes could be better. They should have moved the tee boxes away from the worn out (covered with divots) area. My friend is very happy with the golf course.
Greens too slow
It like putting on the fairway. It was so hard to get use to it. I’ve never played on a course with that slow of a green. You hit a good putt and it just stops! Will not come back, nice layout otherwise.
Always a Favorite
Black Rock is about 1 hr 15 min drive, so we drive out to Hagerstown only twice a year. It's always a pleasure to play this course. It's a laid-back atmosphere and the layout is interesting and a nice mix of risk-reward holes. No hole is the same. They punched the greens on Monday, but warned us when we booked the tee time. They gave a discount on the greens fees, and by Saturday it wasn't too bad--slow, but certainly playable. The bunkers were more dirt than sand, and it looks like they are either planning to do some repair on select bunkers or they are going to let them grow in--they were roped off. The staff is always welcoming and pleasant and it's just a nice, friendly course to play.
Tuesday is league day
Pace of play was terrible 3hours to play 9. Thankfully the sky opened up and took a rain check. Everybody went off on the back 9 I was the 4th cart in line on the 1st tee. With a foursome in the fairway and another foursome on the green
Bad news
Course in rough shape. No water anywhere even though it was in the 90s and humid. Greens were very slow. Too many course that are much nicer that you drive right by on the way there.
Nice Layout!
The course was in great condition and staff was very friendly. I really like the layout and elevation changes. It really makes you think of your club selection. The rough is challenging, so keep your shots in the fairway. I was up from Florida and the course was very enjoyable.
Great course!
Course was in great condition! Always a fun course to play.
