Black Rock Golf Course may be one of western Maryland's newest courses but it's located near some of the country's most historic sites. Antietam Battlefield and Harper's Ferry are just a few minutes away from this scenic course. The opening holes of the layout are tucked into the Shenandoah Valley while the back nine climbs uphill, offering views that stretch across the Appalachian Mountains. The golf course has plenty of holes that will please long hitters, but mature trees and thick rough frame most of the holes, demanding accuracy. Traps protect the front of most of the greens and you'll come across dramatic undulations on some. The par-4 13th is arguably Black Rock's toughest hole. This sharp dogleg right has a massive tree to the right as well as a pond right in front of the green.

Always in Excellent Condition

My annual trek to Hagerstown, Black Rock is always a solid choice for a weekend round. It's reasonably priced (recognizes Veterans for a discount even on weekends), the pace of play is good, and course conditions are always excellent. Each hole is unique with elevation changes, blind shots, and extremely small greens--target golf at its best! We had friends meet us there (it's almost 1.5 hours), but they are always game to play Black Rock. Worth the trip they say...as do we! They are remodeling the club house, so the snack bar was not opened, but they generally have pretty good food. Black Rock is a hidden gem!

Nice Course but almost no food options

The course was in great shape and pace of play was very good. Only disappointment was there was no food available outside of crackers and chips. Their food service has been shutdown since COVID hit over 3 years ago.

Decent course for the $

Black Rock is a good value at $52 weekend rate.
Greens we’re pretty true but very slow. Fairways decent. Tee boxes were fair. Pace of play was very slow. Multiple foursomes waiting on some tee boxes.
