The design philosophy of this course is baffling. I played the “popular” layout, reds to short, and I found it to be totally unsatisfying to shoot a -3. If you are an experienced player I would suggest playing any other layout. The turf tees are wonky at best, awful at their worst. Once you get to holes 5-18, you will struggle to choose your lines because there are so many pencil trees you feel as if your beat strategy is huck-for-luck. Then you will encounter so many sub-200ft holes, birdies will feel like a charity handout. Udisc is not mapped to obvious changes, distances are unreliable. I really struggle to understand the overall rating of this course. I doubt it plays much better from the other tees. Skip for travelers.

Excellent course! Wide variety of tees and multiple pin locations allow you to make it a long, grueling round or a quick after-work round. Some long walks between holes and some serious elevation changes, but no real spots to get lost. And well maintained fairways! Definitely worth a trip if you're in MD!

Nice course. A lot of thick grass/brush off the fairway. A number of holes need a few trees removed to create lines. Currently you pick a small gap and hope you hit it.

If you like courses where you play a 300ft hole with no real fairway, and then walk 500ft to the next one. This course is for you. Fortunately there’s lots of shade and plenty of parking.

Teepads are lumpy and not level. Most fairways are poke and prays; most baskets are completely blind from the Green tees. One or two blind shots is fine, but every hole being a complete mystery is just poor design. Has the bones of a good course but it’s not great in its current form.

I’m rating the blue/green layout. Tee pads are ok at best. In many cases there is NO fairway to speak of. I love woods courses, but this one is a little out of hand. In the very least there should be some distinguishable lines. In many fairways (looking at you holes 5 and 13) there isn’t. It is a challenge. But to make it over 4 there are some improvements to be made. Played again for a second time on the green to white layout. You need fairways. Even with woods courses. I don’t understand

Technical wooded course on the shorter side but lots of fun shots to be had. The course is a labor of love for the locals and Fredrock which shows in how well the course is maintained. A gem in MD for sure!

A fun and fantastic course with tons of variety and multiple layout options that range from novice-appropriate to devilishly difficult. High score separation potential in a magnificent setting. Crushed gravel teepads are rutted and uneven in spots. For my more detailed review, visit www.dgcoursereview.com.

Constant work being done to improve the course. A bit slick in some muddy areas.

Great course! Lives up to the hype. Must play in MD

Gem of a short technical wooded course. Well marked. Bring your hiking boots. Only thing missing is concrete pads

Love the shady hike through the woods vibe. Makes playing on a hot day bearable. Only issue is footing between holes is fairly treacherous in some areas, especially when it is wet, which is often.

At times it was hard to find the next tee. There were arrows to the next pad, but they were not always easy to see. A few times the arrows on the bottom of the basket were Pointing the wrong way. Otherwise the course is fantastic. LOTS of UPHILL hiking.

A really fun technical wooded course. It reminds me a lot of Seneca SP both in terms of hole layout and the wooded walks between holes. The only real negatives are the first few T pads (which seem like a park restriction and not a design choice), and a couple of holes with a few too many trees in the fairway(5, 10, and 17 come to mind)

Great course, well marked. Good mix of open and tech. My favorite in the area next to McKeldin

This course is pretty tough. It's both tough on the body to navigate due to elevation changes and tough on the throws as there are a lot of trees guarding the fairways. Very fun! I like that they have water coolers around the course (they weren't filled when I went). Believe the hype that this course is a hike though!

Great course. One of the best around. Definitely some hill climbs but worth it for the views and the amazing layout.
