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.

Great course
The course was in great condition even after all the rain we had the past few days
Nice intermediate course
The course has enough difficult holes/shots to challenge any golfer, but isn't too long or hard for beginners.
Great Municipal Course
The course layout is moderate and maintanance is perfect. The green is well maintained and rolled up, but some of the holes are not in good condition. The sand trap is needed to have more sand, technically and well allocated, then this will be the key hasard to hit good score. The front nice is in good shape and easy to warm-up, the back nine is more challenging. I love the cocept of the holes and facility (and reasonable price). For DC residents, this course might be one of the good experience, if you have different golf experience at the hilly circumstances.
Take advantage of the front 9
This is a challenging golf course but you would not know it until you play the back 9. The course is in very good condition and the greens are in excellent shape. The front 9 play short and there is no water so it is easy to get a low score. However, the fun starts in the back 9 with ups and downs and water all over.
Good round of golf.
When I go up and visit a friend in Hagerstown we go to black rock. Been playing there for years. This time, another good round. Walked in, gave name, started pretty quickly. Perfect day, alittle chilly, grounds crew was cutting grass and fertilizing throughout the course. Course looked and played good. Pace of play was good, overall another good day at black rock.
Beautiful conditions..
Went out for the second time this spring and had very enjoyable round. Went out as a single but was able to get paired up with some others. The course was in great condition for early spring. Fairways and greens where great considering weather. Enjoyable outing! Staff great!
Nice Layout- especially for a Muni
It's early spring, and this was my first time playing the course. Considering the poor weather this winter, the course was in good shape and had nice elevation changes and multiple shot types needed. Tee boxes and fairways were in very good condition. Bunkers need attention, but were fine considering the weather they have endured. The greens were quite slow, but with dormant grass, that was also to be expected.
great winter conditions
drove down from johnstown pa 2 hors. well worth the drive. course was in great shape for december, will return again as soon as weather permits.
Beautiful course with water shots and amazing views of the mountains.
Really enjoyed the views and the course was wonderful. Very well maintained, interesting holes with well placed sand traps (got me a few times) and water shots. Love having to hit over water and around it. Beautiful course. Can't wait to play it again. Wish I had played it in Oct. to see the colors on the leaves and views of mountains with colors. I will next year!
Great mountian course
Beautiful golf corse.greens were fast with a lot of slope.tough pin placement is a three putt.layout is nice,wide open on most holes.this course is a must play! You will enjoy,as long as you stay below the hole.
This course will have you coming back over and over many time just to play it
The fairways are in very good shape and well taken care of by the maintenance crew. The greens are also well taken care of. The staft is very friendly, and the food there is also very good with low prices.
This is a challenging course.
Nice course with good features. Greens still had some bumps from recent aeration but was still quite fast.
Very nice municipal course.
This course is well maintained, has interesting terrain, and possesses great risk/reward opportunities. Black Rock is a good place to walk and enjoy nature. It's definitely work the drive to Hagerstown.
Great greens
Course was in very good shape. Greens were running true and were above average in speed. Took longer than expected, but enjoyed the day in spite of the slow play.
Very nice muni!
The course was in excellent shape and the staff was extremely nice. It's a little short (didn't really need a driver on 7 of the first 9 holes) but it is laid out well. The landscape is rolling hills and very pretty. Our tee time was delayed because of an early tournament running long so they treated us to lunch which was a very nice and un-necessary gesture. I will definitley play there again!
Good local public course
fairways and greens are always kept in great condition. Bunkers sadly need work and lots of sand. This is the only problem with the course.
Course was kept up very well
Tee boxes were in great shape. The greens were as equal in good shape.
Nice course - lots of hills
Very hilly course with a lot of blind shots. Course was in good shape for this late in the season. Greens played very fast.
Fun course to play
Day we played was spotty rain, so course was not crowded. Course is prepping for a tournament so it was in great condition.
