...wow.
What fun!
The course was definitely a little ragged around the edges which is what you get in exchange for not playing a flat course & playing in March, with a lot of wind & fallen tree-branches on the course. There were a lot of sand-traps with rocks in them (ironically), not all that small either, sometimes I had to just pull the ball over to a different part of the traps, but really again this is March golf. It's not going to be in spring & summer condition.
The big thing about this course is that is is very vertical, lots of up & down play, with a large spread between tees & a fair number of big carries, well over 200 yards. It is definitely a course to come to play if you think that you are a big hitter or you want to see what a big hitter's course is like. It has a lot of water & even in March the greens were in good shape, with decent fairways & fairway rough. But this course is really all about playing up & down hills & around obstacles. The fairways are wide enough but just barely so, with rare exception, & what you get in exchange for a wide fairway is a very long carry. it is definitely an adventure-course but not so much & so crazy as Blue Ridge Shadows.
This is a great course a rare find & absolutely one of the most entertaining courses that I've ever played...but that is because I like crazy-big courses that are hard to play. This is absolutely not some small course with tight lies that is as much a challenge to stay out of the woods as anything. Here, there really isn't that much of woods. There's a fair amount of waste & water, but not overwhelmingly so. It's really just a big course that truly challenges your ability to cover horizontal & vertical space & play decent golf while entertaining the hell out of you.
Without a doubt one of the best courses that I've ever played in my life, & what saddens me is that I would love to play it again but I'm afraid of overplaying it.
My only problems with this round were the houses surrounding a few holes, again the road noise in front, & the $70 cost to play a late Saturday round the first week in March. Other than that, I would recommend that anyone reading this play this course at least once. It's simply an awesome course.
It's not perfect.
But it's still pretty damm-good.
Easily 1 of the top 3 DC area public courses that I've played. I literally have a hard time thinking of a better area course to play, though I didn't want to score it as an A- because it is really just very-good not great. If there is an area course better than this one? I’ve yet to see it. Seriously.
I am proud to say that I’ve spent 25 years practicing to play a course like this even passably-well. Just well enough to not entirely embarrass myself to play it.
Most of the DC area courses are not even close to as good as this. Not even near, it's almost not even the same game. And there are quite a few that fall in there between $50 & $100/round for 18 with a cart. Not even Bethpage Black, not a single one that is this good. Don't get me wrong, the Black is a good course & has some very-nice holes but so much of it is mundane & a lot of the rest of it relies on waste & traps almost everywhere and long, thick rough that at 3 is barely playable. It's a good course but it's not *this* good. I mean this is almost like golfing Nirvana if you like a course with good verticality, that doesn't have big wide-open spray-hitters fairways but also doesn't have a lot of waste & woods off the fairways either.
I apparently pissed-off the guy who stored the carts by staying out on the course until dusk. He came out to me at the 17th teebox, said I'd gotten over 4 hours of golf so I should be happy, than “escorted” me off the course. I thought his attitude was ridiculous on many levels, especially considering that the clubhouse was not only still open but actually serving dinner, but I didn’t say anything to challenge him and then he began to get righteous. To tell a patron who had paid $70 to play your course that they had enough golf because they've played over 4 hours when they are standing there on the 17th teebox with a club trying to finish the round & you're dragging them off the course, that's pretty dense. But yeah, I would have been done long before that f it wasn't such a big, challenging, fun & open-enough course. His attitude was still bullshit. People don’t pay to play 4 hours of golf, it’s not like renting a room by the hour.
On the other hand be aware that it might just take an extra hour to finish your round if you’re out there by yourself.

Bridge-Mount Dry Fire Hydrant -Part 1 Cecil County, Maryland - 1500 gpm
The first of two video clips from our May 2019 bridge-mount dry fire hydrant installation in Cecil County, Maryland. Using our angle-mount bracket, this installation produced a flow of 1,500 gpm using a 1,500 gpm pumper. This installation is our top-performing installation; we never have achieved a flow of 1500 gpm! Our minimum target flow is 1,000 gpm but of course that is impacted by the lift, elevation, and size and condition of the pumper. The clip is narrated by Mark Davis of GBW Associates LLC.
