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.

Under new management!

GVGC is in the best shape of the last 30 years! The greens are world class speed and smooth! Greens are firm. Course is firm! This course has moved to be the best course north of i70 in the Frederick area! Great job to the superintendent! Definitely recommend this course.

It is not the same glade valley from years ago! Give it another chance and you won’t be disappointed!!!

Please fix your ball marks! The course staff has worked very hard to improve the place. Do your part in fixing ball marks!

Not Worth Being Here Today

Overbooked, combined with a snails pace makes for a miserable day out. Add branch debris all over the place, and way, way too many walkers, it just isn't fun. It's been awhile since I've been here and had been in a spring league before, and I do remember now why I stopped coming. The greens are the issue. They are all terrible in terms of pin placement and not one is consistent with another. Add way too much spring sanding and it's impossible to read them. They are too hard for this course to begin with and most with ridiculously varying slopes, but yesterday was just awful. Picked the wrong course today. Usually play somewhere every other week...so the selections gave only weekly or monthly with no inbetween number of times played.

Little wet but perfect for December golf

How can you be mad for the price and weather in the 60s in December. Some nice long holes and few tough greens. Will definitely play in spring
