Amazing Experience

I love this course because they use the money that comes in to maintain it!!! Played here for the third time and each time the course conditions have been fantastic. The first round I played here the greens were punched, but I still had a great experience. If you can get yourself out here for a round, I would suggest doing so. Cart girl comes around, water coolers at some tee boxes. A clean, fun course to play. Ball cleaners at some tee boxes or on the carts would be nice but I'm just nit-pickin at that point. They have coolers on the carts at least ;)

Great first impression

First time playing. Started back 9 first, great opening hole. Many forced carries with relatively open fairways. A couple short "driveable" par 4's even from the blacks (not tips). Course tee to green was in fantastic condition. Will be back.

Top 5 in my area

Drive an hour occasionally to play here when I get a deal. ALWAYS fabulous, ALWAYS breaks expectations, ALWAYS worth the trip.
Recent tree removal and high grass/collection areas are getting cleaned up for the spring. . Course has 3 cart path only holes the day we played. 90%+ tee to green. Some greens had spots of trouble that was being taken care of., but rolled great, fast and true.
Personally, missed an ace on 11 by 6 inches. Someday I’ll pop that cherry .

Pace

The pace was fine but had a 4 some in front of me they were playing the wrong tees in my book so they were a little so I was a single and they wouldn't let me play through.

Will be back

For the most part in good condition for February. Exception is the bunkers which were dense and needed more sand or to be fluffed. Nice, varied layout. Will return if I can find a discount as it's a bit pricey for my blood and fairly remote.

11 on the Stimpmeter

For mid February the course is in amazing condition!! Greens were rolling well over 10’ and as smooth as carpet.

Not bad

It was a nice course. Expected a little more though. Tee boxes had longer grass in them, & a good amount (maybe 5/6) were uneven. Fairways weren’t cut either. I mean it’s definitely one of the better courses, but for the price I expected it to be in better shape. Nice layout, nice design, nice staff, etc. Worthington, MD Natl, Bulle Rock are all ranked higher on my list. Maybe it was just a bad day to go. I’ll def try it again during non-leak rates to give it another go. I would still recommend it,

Mr. Barkley

I really enjoyed the layout of the course. Very challenging tee shots, soft and plush fairways, with smooth/fast/firm greens.

Found the tee time last minute on hot deals. Great value for a fun layout just north of Baltimore. Course was in great shape. Was probably about a 4.5hr round. Saw the cart girl 4 times. Excellent weather. No complaints.
