Nestled in the foothills of the Catoctin Mountains about 15 minutes from Fredricksburg, Glade Valley Golf Club has been selected as a top-100 golf course in the Mid-Atlantic region by Washington Golf Monthly. The Jim Reck design, which opened in 1990, has a nice mix of woods, water, natural habitat and sand traps that will test golfers, but the golf course isn't overly difficult.

Nice course - excellent value

I like this course, but it seems everyone & their brother decided to come to Walkersville on 6/29 for a round of golf before the heat wave came. The round took a little more than 5 hours, which is the slowest pace of play (for me) in several years... It's normally not so crowded...

This is a very nice parkland course with some very challenging greens, true and fast.

I was mainly disappointed that the food & beverage service was closed when we finished - at 3:45pm on a Friday???

The value is outstanding, but no beverage cart and no clubhouse food/beverage service on a prime golf day gives me pause when considering when I'll next return.

First time but will be back

My first time at this hidden gem, I walked 18 in just under 3 hours and found the greens the best I have played all year so far, however they were very fast leading to a few 3 putts.

Returning to a great course

It's been a few years since I played this course. I can't remember why it's been so long. The course has a great layout with challenging holes that make you think about your shots. It was in great shape, especially with all the rain the past weeks. Greens were firm and read true. I look forward to returning.

Stuck in Frederick, MD

Took a hot deal as I just wanted 18 and wasn’t picky.

Glade Valley turned out to be a well kept course and at 3 pm on a Friday not too crowded. Due to traffic I was 30 minutes late for my tee time. Staff was very accommodating and let me go right out.

Medium speed greens with a true roll. Fairways were excellent but the rough was challenging due to the excessive rain.

Overall an excellent experience.

The course is in very good condition. There has been a lot of rain recently so the course drained nicely with very few water issues.

Lovely day of golf

Course was in good condition especially after lots of rain in previous days. The first four holes went quickly but slowed down after that. There was a foursome that was extremely slow two groups ahead of us which changed a 4 hour afternoon of golf into a 5 hour one.

Great Day

I had a good day on the course. Although we had rain earlier in the week the course was in good shape. The rough was a little thick. The rain had a lot to with that. It was a perfect day for golf. Good price and friendly staff.

Great Course, Great Greens!

I haven't played this course in a while, but was in the area for a wedding. The greens were in the best shape I've seen them. Fairways were great and the rough was thick and healthy. Tough but fair challenge!

I got a good special in price. The weather was great. The staff was friendly. I thought the course needed a cutting, but it played ok. Good course to play.

Good Value Good Golf and Fun

I booked on Golf Now. Had never played course before. I was a one ball and got grouped with a father and son who knew the course and were out for their first round of the season. The speed of play was fair considering the course was busy on Sunday. An interesting course that has a bit of variety and water is in play on some holes. It is fairly well kept. Some of the greens are bumpy though and the green speeds are not all the same. I will definitely play the course again.

I like that one of the staff (Mike Thompson) walked to the parking lot and took my golf cart back for me. It was nice because I was late and I was really tired and ready to drive home.

Enjoyed the experience.

Wonderful experience

I have played Glade Valley 2-3 times but today was an absolute pleasure. Michael Thompson and his staff were so friendly and they treated us like we were family. The course was in great shape, the greens were fast, the bunkers were well manicured. The pace of play was fast and the round of golf was just awesome.

This golf course is a hidden gem. I would highly recommend calling Michael Thompson at Glade Valley if you are looking to play at a wonderful golf course with wonderful service.
