Very technical course. Par is on the edge of my skill level but a really well laid out course.

Tee pads are dirt and trees aren't marked or have signage. Multiple holes share baskets.

The course looks great there was a lot of maintenance done and beside 17 tee everything else look awesome.
Love the layout and the elevation changes.

Still no signs or mini maps near teepads need to have someone who played again there to help for the first time.

An older player told me that this course if played as it supposed to its one of the toughest dg courses around baltimore....

This course is one of the oldest in the state, if not country. There is a great variety of shots and elevation change. Shooting a par 54 is a challenge to the most experienced golfer, as there are holes that are definite par 4s (hole 9b and 16 come to mind). The course itself is usually pretty empty too, as there are several superior courses within a 20-30 min drive. Holes 1/18 and 9/10 have 2 baskets each, so I usually play to one of the baskets for one of the holes and the other basket for it's counterpart.

1 - layout of the course. If you do not play with someone who knows the course, chances are you will get discouraged and leave. The best way to explain the layout is that each basket is played twice, and the sum of the holes that play to that basket is always 19. Therefore, holes 1 and 18 play to the same basket, holes 2 and 17 play to the same basket, and so forth. Signage for the next hole is minimal at best, so knowing which basket to shoot for and from what tee can be tricky. Also, the course plays around some athletic fields, so if you can't keep your disc in the fairway, you may have the unluckiness to interrupt a 9-10 yr old baseball game to retrieve your wayward drive.
2 - Tees. Most of the time, the tees are dry. However, with natural tees come the potential for mud and general slipperiness. This is a course to avoid a day or 2 after heavy rains.
3- Surrounding Area. I live next door to the course, and I feel quite safe even playing a glo round. However, the riff raff in the area love to destroy baskets, so some of the are bent/dented/broken to some extent.

I think my rating of 3.5 may be a bit high, but as I said, this is a challenging course for players of all skill levels. In fact, I think this course is more challenging than Druid, Lake Montebello, and Scarboro.

The hole layouts are interesting, and every one is different. I found the course challenging. The picnic-like setting makes for a pretty course to bring the family to.

A lot of the holes are very tight -- get into the rough on holes 2 or 3 and you may never see your disc again.
Poison ivy was sprining up in the bottomlands for holes 5 and 6 last time I was there. It was always a risk for 1, 2, and 3 in the rough.

The overlaps of the front and back nine have never been a problem for me, with the low usage rate for the course
