Worthington Manor Golf Club

Just moved my home around the corner from this place. Was hoping it was as good as they say since my new proximity to the course makes it the perfect place to get a membership. I was not disappointed when I tried it out for the first time. Conditions were near perfect. The greens were tough. Very undulating in general, with steep slopes on many...and quick. Took me awhile, but I started to figure them out after 3-putting 3 of the first 5 greens!

All the staff I came in contact with were very friendly and helpful. The practice area is very good, the range really nice with actual target greens/pins, not just flags. It looks almost as nice as the course itself. The views on this beautiful autumn day were gorgeous. The only negative I can come up with was that the pace of play should have been better on a light Monday, but all it takes is one slow foursome and no rangers for that to happen. Evidently there are rarely rangers on duty during lighter days. I understand the business reasons for having no rangers on light days, but if they had a ranger there is nothing negative that can be said about this place. Okay, maybe one small thing. Their carts need some updating and the GPS units are not the most up-to-date with all the bells and whistles and color illustrations that other really nice courses might have. No big deal for me, as I generally use a rangefinder anyway. However, I do appreciate and take advantage of some of the benefits of GPS if they are on the carts.

In any case, Worthington passed my test and I will surely be purchasing a yearly membership shortly. Though there are many other really great courses in the area to play---and I will certainly take advantage of most of them in the future---having a place like Worthington to be my home course and daily practice facility is going to be pretty nice.

Amazing course..perfect conditions. Greens ran pure and true. Pace of play left a little to be desired. Overall a great experience and I would recommend this course to anyone with the opportunity to play it .

one of the best kept greens and fast as heck. Hard course but its awesome

first of all, absolutely gorgeous course. Pace of play was fine, few delays here or there but no one cared.

The course is long and challenging and really made you concentrate to play each hole well.

And the you get to the putting surface which was amazing. The ball rolled so true. It didn't stop in the middle of a ridge like almost every other course I've played, even the so called great ones.

Controlled putting and hitting the right lines were rewarded every time.

Anyways it was just tremendous

Came to Baltimore area for business and found this course. Glad I did. The course itself had a cool personality starting with the clubhouse and barn where they keep the carts. First couple of holes are no joke so you better be ready to go...not long but require carrying some ravines off the tee. Overall it's a fun course and the greens were pure and rolled beautifully. Would come again in a heart beat.

Very playable and great course conditions. With the lack of rain, this course is well maintained. Fairways and greens were in great shape.

This was only my second time playing here, but it won't be the last. It's crazy to me that this course is so close to PB Dye and PB looks like a goat pasture and Worthington is in great shape. This course will test all of your game. From the tips it forces you to curve the ball both ways on many holes if you want to end up in the fairway. Greens are running great...and challenging....fairways pure.....tees pure.....rough is down (thank God....cuz I was in it plenty!)

There is a good reason this course is repeatedly used for PGA qualifiers, it plays long and the putting is definitely challenging. You don't have to hit all the fairways to score but, you have to bring your putting "A" game.

I don't write reviews, but felt compelled to after today's round. The course was in amazing shape. It was a Tuesday so I was able to tee off at 3pm as a twosome and play a round in 3:30. I have played all the $100 courses in the DC area. This one is the best. I played a course near WM last week and the greens were just aerated and in poor condition. Night and day when you compare the two courses, and WM was actually the cheaper of the two. Most of the nice public courses in the area, this late in the season, are in rough shape, so for the course to look like this in late August is very impressive. A tip of the cap to the grounds crew.

Paired up with a great group of strangers who were very nice and played great. The course is in good condition for late August. It's a very challenging but fair golf course that rewards good shots. Fast greens that hold a shot and roll true but show some wear from a long summer. Beautiful scenery and elevation changes with some blind shots make for a great time.

Absolutely enamored with the golf course, the staff and the overall facilities. Will definitely play again, and again, and again.

However, was not happy with the $11.90 in taxes and online fee's I was hit with on GolfNow. Will make it a point to review the true "overall" cost in the future. Probably could've played for a cheaper rate as a senior, booking thru the clubhouse. A little disappointing.

Worthington Manor is one of my favorite tracks in Maryland. The course is always in great shape and the staff is exceptionally courteous. It gets your attention immediately with three challenging opening holes. And it closes with a difficult downhill par three 17th and a long uphill par five 18th. And they welcome my GolfBoard! Always a blast to surf the earth at this venue.

Not having played here before, so it was difficult knowing where trouble was, but getting in the rough made the ball hard to find. Fairways are undulating like the course.

Excellent value for a public course. Fantastic condition, great value for the money. Love how they've maintained and incorporated the barns and out-buildings from yesteryear. Greens are as fast and smooth as they get on public courses. Food and beverage is very vanilla and lacking any type of sophistication. But if that keeps the prices lower than over public courses in this echelon, I'm OK with it.

Every tee box, fairway, rough and green was in magnificent condition. Challenging greens overall with bunkers where they need to be. Would be nicer with more water hazards. Highly recommend and plan to return for more rounds.

Im from NY i visit family in Frederick every summer and always bring my stix. So far played Whiskey Creek and Musket ridge and recently Worthington Manor. I have zero (0) complaints about any. Definitely loved Whiskey and Worthington but all 3 highly recommended. Worthington has an old charm to it which i like. The clubhouse and barnes are great sights to see. Im from the city so seeing the farm land is nice. Stay out of the 18th fairway bunker at worthington. Its littered with rocks. Not a bad thing. Just another reason to avoid trouble and be accurate. I went out at 730 am solo. Next t time was at 8 so i had no time complaints. I think price is decent for time of year but i usually dont like to pay more than $50 a round. But im on vacation so i dont mind the $70. Brought my own water and snacks so i gave a 4 for food. Their are water coolers throughout so that was nice. Course is well maintained and beautifully manicured. Fast greens. 95% of putts had a break. Hardly any were straight.

This course is my favorite in the area, every hole is either at the top of a hill or the fairway is across a gully. I should have been aware that the US Open qualifier was being held the next day. Made the pace of play not enjoyable. This course has everything going for it right now, it is not well known in the area as a premier course other than having the qualifier and its weekend price. However, as pricey as it is after 4pm on the weekend is $39 all you can play which is more than worth it. This course plays well for big hitters but on some holes you can not be off your aim too far without penalty. I continue to advertise for this course and will be back for my revenge on the scorecard.

Offers up a challenge to all golf skill levels. The greens are fast and undulating- so be ready for breaks! Most holes offer up wide enough fairways that you can avoid trouble; however a few of them slope so don't be surprised to end up in a different spot from where you first landed.
Staff is friendly and they have a solid practice facility.
Go enjoy a fun and challenging round at Worthington!

This was my first playing the course and it was a wonderful experience. From the very first hole to the 18th each hole has challenge for all levels of play. The service was great and friendly and while I was puttiing on the 18th green one of the course service techs was cleaning my clubs.

I play WM periodically and it is always in excellent shape. Very challenging - particularly on the greens. I really enjoy playing the course although it always seems to get the better of me. A beautiful lay-out with ample opportunities to score and/or blow up a hole. The front nine is considerably harder than the back (in my opinion) so be patient. The third hole is one of the more challenging holes in the metro area. Enjoy....no matter what.
