If you want to know which course I would give a 5 star rating to, this is it! A great course to play at and with the new tees it just keeps getting better and better!
Pros:
I went out to play this tournament for the first time right before a MD Monthly tournament to practice and I loved it. Great use of the land and variety of holes. Before I played this course there was only 2 tees on every hole and 1 basket. Someone donated 9 baskets to this course and they purchased the other 9 so now with the 2 tees and 2 baskets on every hole there is no limitations. If you want to play VERY long holes play Pro tees to long baskets on this one and it is a killer. They have an annual Patapsco Crusher with this style for the tournament and man is it a crusher! Great course to have PDGA tourneys as they just at the Patapsco Picnic a few months back and some great pros including Nikko (Who won), Jenkins, and a lot of other Pros. Great layout though and worth the drive for anyone in the surrounding states.
Cons:
Pay to play but you will forget about the $ the second you step on the course. Play over some roads which with cars can get annoying but provides some OB. There isn’t much marking out there as to where the next hole is but glad I got with some locals that knew their way around.
Conclusion:
World class course now with the new flat crushed gravel tees, I heard this is the first step to these tees as they will pack down with time and also a filling will be added later on. Can’t Wait! Great Layout but navigation is still hard, bring a map! Excellent course and with the new tees and added long baskets this course is a 5!
I will grudgingly give this a 5, only because it is better than a 4 and there is no 4.5.
Nice variety of open and wooded, up and down, left and right. Multiple tees and baskets. Pro to Am levels. Really an absolutely top notch course. Even a water fountain somewhere on the back nine if my memory serves me.
Alright fine, a full blown 5!
This is a nice course, worth the trip out to...it doesn't have signs and the tee pads can be a little tough to handle...not sure how i could give a 5 without signs on the course...it's good, not great...
