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.

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.
