Editor's Note: Course closed for business in 12/2018

Patuxent Greens Golf Club is tucked behind stands of mature trees that provide the course with a peacefully secluded feel. The original course was built in the 1960s but the layout underwent a major renovation in 2005. The focus of the golf course has always been the beautiful setting, which serves as home to an abundance of wildlife including deer, heron, beavers, and golfers might even see the occasional bald eagle. The layout has plenty of risk-reward holes, including the sixth, one of the golf course's most memorable holes. This short par 4 presents different shot making options. You can either lay up between 100-150 yards out, or challenge yourself and attempt to go over the tree-lined dogleg to the green. Patuxent Greens Golf Club finishes with its signature hole, a scenic par 4 that plays to a peninsula green, backed by a view of the clubhouse.

it was ok...

Course layout is great and with some TLC this could be a great place! However, it doesn't drain well and needs some love.

It's Back

I played this course 4 years ago and said I would not return because of the drainage issues. Then my friend called and said he booked us a tee time through golf now. With all the rain(record rainfalls in June) I though we would be in for a long day. The course was beautiful! Greens were great, staff was great, and considering the amount of rain the facility had the rest of the course was awesome for the price paid. I will be back!

Sloppy wet

Due to the high amount of rain the area has received lately, the course was partially flooded. Couldn't hit the back nine. Had the course been fully playable, it would have made the day. You can tell the course is in really good shape. A few tee boxes could use some work, but despite the conditions, had a good time.

No Drains

I played this course more than 24 hours after a heavy rain in the area. I went in and paid for the round with no words from the starter/golf shop pro. I hit my ball on the first tee box and watched it shoot water 3 feet high in all directions as it plugged the fairway. I was a little confused and thought it must have been a random puddle; wrong! The whole fairway was covered is 1-3 inches of water; completely unplayable. The shady golf shop never gave a warning or told me not to play. I played a few more hole to see how the rest was and there was large amounts of standing water on every fairway. There is obviously no drains built into the course. The course was short with narrow fairways and tiny, flat greens with terrible bunkers (solid dirt). Not worth the $30 I paid on here or the $56 they charge in person.

Pace of Play was terrible

Started the round at 12:30 finished at 6:10. It was cart path only but I still felt it played very slow. Groups were cutting in front of other groups on the course without even asking. No marshals to be seen anywhere to help improve the pace. My tee time was 12:23 but there was an hour delay due to a backup n the first tee. Luckily our group (just 2 of us ) were able to pair up with another group of 2 who had a 11:30 tee time but because of the delay got off at 12:30. Again 12:30 - 6:10 . No wonder golf is starting to lose its customer base. It was an all day event.

Avoid

Course is in a flood plain. Do not play after rain. standing water intolerable and pervasive. Hard to find a place to place your ball. Extremely disorganized at starter. 45 minutes late on scheduled tee time. Took 3 hours to play 9 holes. Intended to play 18 but left after 9. Clubhouse lounge very disorganized. Not the first time I have had this bad experience, but last.

In Good Shape

The course overall was in good shape. The greens are in great shape. The fairways were surprisingly in good shape. The only thing not in good shape were the tee boxes. The rough was thick and it was tough to find a ball if you off the fairway. I would definitely play again especially for $30 bucks. Great course for the value!!

Great Value but slow pace of play

Course was in great shape. Only area of concern is the tee boxes were messed up on some of the holes but your teeing off so its not like you need it to be perfect.

The pace of play was slow...... It was a Holiday but I was a little annoyed that nobody was around to keep on people to keep up the pace.... Group in front of us would take forever looking for their ball and would also not park their cart near the ball instead choosing to walk decent distances to their ball....

I will golf here again as I am a beginner and the course it pretty straight forward so eventually it can become a feel good course for me.

Decent course for the money

Course was in average shape. Greens were in good condition and the fairways were decent. Tee boxes were very beat up, even though it's early in the season. Course is fairly short but doglegs and water make it a bit more challenging. Course is a good value for the money. $32 on line rate. Pace of play was slow despite the fact that we went out at 7:15.

Flat track

Pleasant flat course. Easily walkable. Water comes into play on several holes. Greens were in nice shape. The rough was ready for the U.S. Open. Friendly staff. Will play again.

Average to good

I played early in the season, so naturally the conditions weren't great. But overall decent course. Basic layout though. Not very challenging. Completely flat.

Okay, Often over priced

This is a nice course but its not worth new rates you can book better courses within 20miles for the same or less price. Don't play after it rains other than that its nice to play if you get a rate thats in line with the course.

take your Money and run Course

Got off 30 minutes late, pace of play was extremely slow, no marshall to help pace of play. It took over 3 hours to play 9 holes. I left becasue I wouldn't be able to finish before dark with 2 groups still waitingat #10 before we could play the back nine. with an 1130 tee time no reason we should not have been able to finish

One of the best in area

Compared to other courses in the area, this is a well kept course. Greens are well manicured, fairways are in great condition. The only problem you will find is leaves, just like anywhere else.

The course has great potential

Course is in very good condition but it is extremely slow. A marshal is needed to keep up the pace of play.
