Excellent Course - Can't beat the price

Westminster is the hidden gem of Maryland. Course was in emasculate shape and is a respectable scoring course. Great views from the tee box and great green speeds (except for on #8 where I had a 3 putt LOL). No complaints on this course. The staff is great.

Westminster National GC

Awesome golf course. Felt like I was playing a mountain course. Conditions good, greens rolled smooth at medium speed. Some holes appear tight off the tee and others wide open, very scenic. Played in about 3 hours taking some practice shots and putts since course was not crowded today. Definite recommend. I could see some very slow play if the course is crowded since many of the holes can be tricky. First two par threes holes 2 & 5 are great!

Target Golf

Use the driver sparingly even it you hit it straight it can end up in trouble (through the fairway). Entertaining, target golf with a lot of elevation changes and relatively small greens. This course would be quite difficult to walk...so I recommend getting a cart. Many of the greens are crowned but you'll be hitting wedges into them a lot and they were putting pretty true.

This course has a great layout

I have played this course before. The front nine holes is a little more challenging than the back nine. The course is a little hilly on some holes. This day the greens were already aerated. Putting was a little more challenging coasting some strokes. Overall for the cost, I had a great experience and definitely will play this course again. When making the turn the snack bar is located at a convenient location minimizing the time off the course and the pace of play was great. I would recommend this course to every golfer.

Little bit of heaven !

We took a chance a few months back seeing roadside sign. Loved it ! Went back to meet my brother. Most friendly staff ever. Unfortunately it poured on us both times but we waited and it cleared. Very challenging.

National haha

Good marketing tool using the National name. Not anywhere close to Maryland National. You got me.. Good for starters and family. But if your a golfer that loves and appreciates nice courses, this isn't it. Needs some maintenance, tee boxes, better sand. Can't go wrong for price, but again with Maryland National near by, I assumed it would be a sister course.

Great Experience

This is a beautiful course. I pulled in and just from the looks I was a little intemidated. I went in and played 28 holes, had a great time, and was very pleased with the friendliness of the staff and other patrons. I Attempted to play again this last week but the rain stopped me. I called the club house a couple times and they were very welcoming! Class act! I'll be back!

not for novice players

Teeing off blind, lots of elevation change and very tight greens make this a pretty difficult course.

Basic golf

Basic golf! I was a little disappointed in the green especially after all of the rain and snow this winter. They are difficult with tons of mounding. Some severe elevation changes which were challenging. Short course, the back tee boxes are a little rough; hard to find level stance on a few. Good local course but not worth over a long drive to play. Quail Valley a much better option.

Interesting and challenging

Starter was extremely helpful and courteous. Set me up other player to help me with layout. Some real great hole designs and good use of terrain. Would be good course to play regularly. If you're in the area it is a must play.

Interesting layout

Westminster National is all about elevation change and includes down-hill, uphill, and side-hill holes. There is a mix of parkland and links style holes and water is in play on some of them.The course is not overly long but requires attention to course management and shot placement. This is definitely not a walking course. The only quirk of the course is that in the center of the property, a number of holes come together, forcing cart paths to intersect, and this makes for an awkward design. Since the course is not intuitive, it would help if the scorecard had a course layout on it. Bottom line- a fun place to play if you don't mind some blind shots.
