Rating 70.9

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.

Worth the trip

Black Rock is worth the 40 minute drive to Hagerstow. I make it an, at least once a trip to play. Fun course, everything is right in front of you. Shot makers golf course, but you don't have to be long. Will be back next year for sure.

Very nice course; good value through GolfNow

We played $35 for a round at BlackRock Golf course in Hagerstown, MD. This was a good value. I saw some $50-60 prices at different times, but would consider them high for the course. I think a $30-40 price for a round on BlackRock to be a value.

Fairway

It's hard to tell if your in the fairway or rough. The fairway needs to be cut shorter as well as some of the tee boxes! Great course!

Best Municipal Course I've Played

Title says it all, really. It's not exactly inspired golf course design, but it's a fun course that is beginner-friendly while still holding some interest to the better, more serious golfer. It's not a hard course, but that's fine. Golf can be easy as long as it's still interesting. As for conditions, considering it was the middle of February, the course was in good shape. I've played the course during the summer, and conditions are excellent then as well. And it's decent value as well. I wouldn't travel much more than half an hour to play here, but if you live in the area, and you haven't played here, I would recommend it.

Feb 8th, Course in Decent Shape WOW!

How lucky to be playing a round in Early February, fairways and greens are FIRM (not mushy) . Course is doing some work on the OLDER trees on the course, this should make play in 2017 a little different (perhaps easier).

The course is a great layout and for being this time of year was in excellent condition. I've never met a friendlier staff anywhere. Can't wait for another nice day to make the two hour trip again!

Local Favorite

I play here a couple of times a month. The course is very well maintained. It is my favorite Washington County course. I was very impressed with the course conditions this late in the year. It looks like spring at Black Rock.

Great value!

First time playing Black Rock in several years I found it well maintained even for the long dry summer. Our foursome had a great time on a beautiful day on a fun track. This course is well worth your time especially as a Hot Deal. Enjoy!
