World Class 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 26, 2011 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Everything you're looking for in a par-72 course. Elevation change, open looks, tight lines - this course requires a mastery of almost every type of shot. Each hole now has 2 permanent tee pads, which are framed in and feature crushed aggregate stone. Each hole also has a short position, which are moved throughout the year, and a permanent long set up, known as the "Green Monster" as the long baskets are powder coated a flourescent green.

Cons:

I've been playing this course for years, but I would imagine that finding one's way around for the first time could be rather difficult. Ticks/gnats can be annoying, so plan for them accordingly. $2 per person entry fee, but that's common for all MD state parks.

Other Thoughts:

This course has something for everyone. Amateurs can play short to short, pros can play the green monster. The course is about a 40 min drive from downtown Baltimore.

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 18, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

2 sets of tees and baskets gives throwers 4 different courses from which to choose. Punisher layout is as good as it gets.
20 foot long tees
Many elevated greens
An incredible variety of shots.

Cons:

Hole 7 is a head scratcher for some players. It has grown on me however.

Other Thoughts:

Probably the best course I have ever played.
