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.

First time
First time here and I will be coking back. Good bang for the buck. The course has a great layout and they do not par 3 you to death which is great. Just wish I played better lol.
Just not a fan
Better courses for similar rates in the area imo. Definitely worth the extra drive to play somewhere nicee. High, bumpy and unlevel teeboxes.
Well maintained and beautiful!
Played here on 6/14/2020. Course was in great condition. Greens were as green as they could be. Pace of play was just under 4 hours. Clubhouse was following all rules and very friendly staff. Will play here many more times!
Excellent Course
I played this course about 8 years ago, when it was private, and while it blew me away back then, even though it is now a public course, Black Rock blew me away again. Amazingly maintained, challenging holes and some interesting green movement make this a must play in the Western MD/South-Central PA area. Will definitely play again.
Slow
Did not finish as group in front would not let us play through. When you have one in the group that is struggling you should let the group behind go through. First hole eleven shots to get to the green?
Love this course but not today,
Great conditions
Course is in great shape, everyone maintained proper distancing. Was a good time.
Impressive
My first time playing Black Rock. Went with a buddy who frequents the course- glad I did because I’d have gotten lost a few times... until he explained just keep the cart going straight when paths intersect. Until then I was a little lost.
The course is in fantastic shape for a government run course! I was very impressed with the maintenance level of care it receives.
They have a make shift driving range too which is nice.
Very friendly gentlemen running the shop too.
I’ll be back
Surprising round
Thought it was going to be wet and missed the rain.
Challenging and beautiful
Let me start by saying I love the layout of this course from hole 1 to 18 the course seemed to flow. The pace of play was slow but for a sunday morning this is not shocking. The conditions were very nice given the lack of rain this year with plenty soft fairways and challenging rough. Overall a great day I will be back before the years up.
Nice course but needed mowed.
Nice course. Overbooked and slow. Tees needed mowed and greens had lots of mud spots on them.
Fast
Fastest round on this course I have ever played. Matched me up with a twosome and enjoyed the company.
