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.

Good value
This was a good value. The course needed to have it's grass cut, but with rain they have been behind in that area. The course was challenging, but fun to play. The staff was friendly. My playing friends said they had a good time. They enjoyed the course as well. If you are looking for a great value and course, play Black Rock.
Solid
Nice course, difficult from the blues. Rough not always great, sand not always in great condition. Beautiful views. Recommend.
Great Layout - Needs Manicured
The tee boxes are in horrible shape - I am hoping that they will improve during the year. Brought memories of why I joined Chambersburg Country Club the last 3 years. Some of the traps were unplayable (some without sand!). Greens and fairways were decent for the time of year.
Two Club Wind
Greens were slow , bot fair once you got the speed down.
Beautiful Course
A great course in the countryside. Scenic holes with beautiful ponds providing challenges off the tee. Love the elevation changes. One of my top two courses to play.
Great course!
We played shortly after aeration, but still was in great shape. The layout is challenging and the scenery was beautiful. An item they really need to work on is the cleanliness of the bathrooms. Kind of odd that such a nice facility has neglected to clean the bathrooms for what appears to be months, both on-course and clubhouse.
Great staff, ok course
The course was being aerated during my play. The greens are small, the edges of the greens need work. The bunkers were in very poor shape from recent rains. Wait till next year.
Nice course and friendly staff
Sand traps desperately need sand! I know it is extremely expensive to refill sand traps but you have to do at least a few at a time. Other than that we had a great day and enjoyed our selves. Course was in great shape considering all the rain we've had.
Great course
Drove over an hour to play there and will do it again! Beautiful layout with challenging holes. Despite all the rain this year course was in good shape.
Not great
Tee boxes- horrible unless you’re into crab grass
Fairways- horrible more crabgrass
Greens- very nice shape, on the slow side but it is a muni.
A great layout, so great a some point I overlooked the poor conditions. Also I am going to put some blame on this summers conditions. Everything shaggy I will place blame on the weather but the crab grass everywhere but the greens including bunkers is shameful! To be ranked as Marylands top muni is baffling!
Quick 9
Snuck in 9holes in an hour and 15 mins on a Sunday morning. Great pace and considerate groups ahead allowing me to play through. Course was in great shape considering the amount of rain the previous few days.
Beautiful course.
This course is very well maintained. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
We had a slow foursome in front of us so a ranger would have been nice but I highly recommend this course. Good value for the hot deal price I paid.
Very nice but there are much better values around.
Beautiful course but when they charge $47 in early April...there are much better courses to be played for a better price. Not as many deals to be found here.
Course is always in great shape...except for many of the sandtraps. Course is very easy to score low.
I'll keep playing here since it is close to home.
A course I will definitely play again
This course was referred to me by a friend. Unfortunately he couldn't play with us that day but I'm glad he made the recommendation. The greens were great, fairways very well maintained, and the rough weren't too "rough". It was nice to play without feeling pressured and the 18th hole crossing the water to make the green was a great finish. The only down fall to the whole outting was that we arrived early hoping to hit the range but it was closed for mowing. All in all it was a great course I'll definitely play again.
Home course
This is my home course and I love this place. Great layout. Sand bunkers are better now. The D boys are great people. Darrell, Donny and Dave. The green on 13 will have you thinking is this what the pro’s have to putt on every week. Have fun. I’m there a lot. Playing there tomorrow!
GOOD COURSE REASONABLY PRICED
COURSE WAS IN THE BEST SHAPE THAT I HAVE PLAYED IT IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. EXTRA WORK WAS ALSO DONE OFF THE FAIRWAYS TO MAKE IT NICER. FAIRWAYS WERE IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. I BELIEVE THEY WERE GETTING READY TO AERIFY. WE HAD A SLOW FOURSOME IN FRONT OF US BUT NORMALLY IT WOULD BE A 4 HOUR ROUND
