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 for the price

Best deal for the price. Beautiful course. And not boring at all, plenty of hills and elevation changes. Lots of water. Only complaint is the sand traps are like concrete. Actually had a couple shots bounce out of the sand traps!

Great Course and Value

I was driving from Pittsburgh to DC for a work conference with a co-worker who also likes to golf so we decided to leave early and sneak a round in on Sunday before the conference started. I was looking for courses about 2/3-3/4 of the way to DC before I got into the dreaded DC beltway traffic and googled courses near Hagerstown, MD. I saw this course had good reviews and looked good on their website. The course is surrounded by gorgeous large hills/small mountains and it was gorgeous with the fall foliage. I'm a 5 index and the course had some challenging holes and some good birdie opportunities for me and was fair for my co-worker who is a bogey golfer. The layout of the back nine is great, the front nine did have a couple quirky holes and the course was well manicured, probably an 8.5 out of 10 from a shape perspective. Overall very high level for a reasonably priced public golf course.
