Decent

This is a very decent course. BUT... no way this is a top 10 course in Maryland. Every single course in OC Maryland beats this course by a mile. Greens are terribly slow, fairways are spotty and long. Don't get me wrong it is a nice little public course. But to say it's "#2 in Maryland" couldn't be further from the truth. Lots of employees must me posting their reviews every few days which is very misleading. Would only play here when I'm trying to save a few bucks

Interesting Layout

14 holes are "wide open", 4 holes tree lined, an interesting combination.

Greens were recently aerated, so putting surfaces were not consistent but they should be fine in another week or two.

Great shape and great value

Course was in excellent condition and the round was very enjoyable, just wish I scored better. Rough was tough and made hitting the fairway a premium.

Great Hope

The Course was in good condition. The staff is super friendly. They take great care of their greens. They run very true. The pace of play is very steady. I have never had to wait too long, and when I do, I am usually invited to play through. For what you pay on golf now, it is one of the best for your buck around here.

Nice value

My my group was able to play eighteen holes with a cart for 18.50 a piece. The course was very soggy because of all the rain we have had. Some balls in the fairway were unplayable because of water. A few greens were patchy but I saw staff working on one of those greens. Except for a few greens the course was in good shape. We will definitely be back!

Soggy Bog - Carts on Path

The course was wet from rain and in the late afternoon 1530 -1600 holes 10 and eleven are totally into the sun making finding your balls difficult unless they are straight as arrows. We skipped them and moved on to 12 so we could see. We finished just before dark however since there are trees it can be difficult to see if the sun gets too low.

The Hidden Gem of Eastern Shore Golf

Great Hope is the only course in Somerset County and a bit off the beaten path, but definitely worth the trip for someone who plays around the region. Minimalism is the calling card here all around as the overall facility is rather bare bones and the landscaping keeps it simple, but there is great golf to be played here. The conditions, and particularly the greens are conditioned phenomenally. That alone doesn't make a great course, but the layout is definitely up to scratch as well. It as well is more minimalist, but the challenges are certainly varied enough and Dr. Hurdzan overall was able to create a course that is navigable for the first-timer but challenging for the low-handicapper, all the while never getting stale. It's not as good as some of the famed courses by Ocean City, but it's definitely somewhere worth checking out if you want to explore the Shore a bit and try something new.

Great value

Enjoyed a quick round on a holiday weekend which was nice. I play here often and the course has been in better shape but it has been a high use course. They recently pulled plugs on greens so they were tough to putt well on. Overall it's was a great value though still.

Great Value when using golf now

For the $16 special it was a great course. The course was very wet from rain the night before but still played nicely. The greens and tee boxes were slightly worse than what I am accustomed too but for the price you cant beat it. It is an open course so it is a good confidence booster.
