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.

The course layout is great.
Thecourse is always in good shape. Well maintained. The staff is excellent.
If you like golf at a great course...
Black Rock is one of a very small handful of courses in Maryland that is a combination of great price (GolgNow), great course layout, great course condition. Don't miss the chance to play this almost hidden treasure - we drove over 60 miles to get there and it was well worth it.
Beautiful course!
My guy and I played here mid-April 2013 - absolutely beautiful course, lush green grass, immaculate greens. Was a very windy day (maybe it's always windy there - it's on a hill!) We both carded our average, and very much enjoyed the day. Will be back, I am sure!
Only odd things was no golf carts allowed in the parking lot - so bring your gear to the clubhouse.
Great Greens...
Greens were in great condition. Fairways were "a bit shaggy" but not bad.
THE COURSE DOES HAVE ALOT OF DIFFERENT TYPE HOLES SO YOU WILL USE ALOT OF YOUR CLUBS.
I'VE PLAYED HERE BEFORE ALWAYS LIKED THE COURSE BUT THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN AFFORD TO PLAY IT REGULAR PRICE IS TO HIGH.
Great course- good rates
I've played Black Rock several times. It's a great course and a great deal. On this particular outing there had been a lot of rain the day before so there was lots of sand on greens to help soak up the water. Aside from that- any other time I've been out there it's been in great shape.
great layout
greens not like they are in season but 36.00 with cart winter rate cant be beat. greens fast during season.
Poor service, poor course management lead to poor experience
We did not arrive late but were treated poorly from the second we walked in the pro shop to check in for our round. We were told that no carts were available, they were extremely backed-up due to early frost and over-booking for the day, and that we must pair up with another twosome. We patiently waited for a cart, paired up with another twosome and then found the course populated by singles in carts, not paried up with anyone. We did not get remotely close to finishing our round before darkness set in.
Very nice hilly course with a nice amount of water.
Very nice course with a few blind shots due to the hilly nature of the course! Greens rolled true and fast with plenty of break to make for a challenging test for your putter. 3 or 4 hole had big dog legs where your tee shot needed to be on the right side of the fairway to have a shot at the green..
Very nice par 3's and I am looking forward to playing this course again.
Overal l- Good price to play in good temperature
The greens were aerated last week but they were putt-able. That course is one of the 10 courses that I will continue playing in the future.
