Iron Hill (DE #1) - Course is great and well worth your stop
Stafford Woods (NJ #1) - Good course but don't miss other better ones for this one
Seneca Creek State Park (MD #1) - On my list of favorites but haven't played there in years
Hawk Hollow (VA #1)
The Blockhouse (VA #4, #7, #12) -...
Got home from my trip late last night!
Maple Hill was the highlight. Been wanting to play there for a decade and finally got to check it off. Incredibly well done navigation and the gold course is truly tough.
Fox Run at Smuggler's Notch was a really amazing place and a well done course as...
Unfortunately it was closed by the time I finished my round at Maple Hill and checked into my hotel. It's going on my list of things to do next time I'm here.
Not a whole lot of room for adjustment in my last minute plans. Full days from sunup to sundown every day lol.
I did manage to play Wickham, Willow Valley, and Maple Hill Golds today!
Wickham was a great course, Willow was incredibly fun and one of the most beautiful places I've played, and...
computing... dangit I'm trying to figure out how to pass up this offer. This is a whirlwhind of a trip... I'll try to put some thought into it tomorrow.
Today was:
9 hrs drive to Iron Hill
1.5 hr round (hustled)
1 hr drive to Stafford Woods
1 hr round (hustled)
Planning on starting early...
Yeah, there was supposed to be another day mixed in there so I could take a full day at Maple Hill and get Pyramids in too, but my trip got delayed a day and I had to squeeze it all together and hope it all works out. :rolleyes:

Tue: 8 hr drive to Iron Hill (DE)
Wed: Stafford Woods (NJ), Wickham Park (CT), Willow Valley (RI)

Great info from everyone here. I have some serious planning and thinking to do. Hoping to make this an epic trip.
You guessed it! I had to back out of the Hawk Hollow meet due to work but the guys hooked me up with some great swag anyway.
Great info here, thanks!
Depending on how much time I end up with there will probably be a camping night at the Blockhouse. I still haven't played Hawk Hollow, although somehow I have an ace there.
Perfect. I'm not planning on setting any records on any of the courses, more just getting the experiences and having fun. Maybe I'll play 1 or 2 a second time on the way back south?
I'll keep you in mind when I'm finally able to get plans finalized.
Great tips. Iron Hill and Maple Hill are the 2 that were on my radar but good to hear the confirmation. Do I need a local for Iron Hill?
I am thinking the first part of September maybe. Catch the weather cooling down if I'm lucky.
I've played in 37 states and am missing most of the northeast. I'm planning a camping road trip and for once don't know where to begin.
I'd like to hit 8 states (see attached): Delaware, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. I'm guessing I...

Windy and grassy
Nice teepads
Grass was cut
Virtually no signage
Lack of variety
Overall I enjoyed the round, but in more of an "it's a nice to day be outside" kind of way than an "I really enjoyed this course" kind of way.
The holes are mostly relatively short and unimaginative with the...
