Played it once a year or so ago - well 1/2 of it at least. Nice course, but incredibly slow the day we were there. Three hours to play the front. When we got to #11 and had two groups in front of us waiting to tee off, we went back and played the front again (was afternoon and not many groups had gone out in last hour or so).

One of these days I'll get back up there to play the rest. For me it was on par with most of the other nice courses up there and worth trying but I'd sooner go back to the other courses that have more reasonable rates.

yes and it's a great course...one if the best in the area. Worth the price of admission.

The closing hole is downhill with the remnants of a farm house in the middle of the fairway. Very cool but makes it a little challenging.

The house has never been a problem for me. When we first started playing there I just flew it over the house from the blues. Now from the whites I'm 30 yards short of it. So problem solved ��

My favorite local Maryland course - including Bulle Rock. ( Lodestone up in Deep Creek is my favorite )

Pretty much same here. Used to carry it from the air when I first played it, Now I have just enough that from the whites I can carry it if I catch one perfect - but that never seems to happen!.
 
If I recall, there was some discussion regarding the potential for a VA versus MD Ryder Cup styled event. I remember because for me, my heart remains in VA, but I reside in MD. Has this been dropped or is it continued to be considered.

OBTW: Can anyone guess who won the NCAA baseball national championship?

If it does happen are you defecting to Dixie?



Congrats to the hoos. Maybe you can beat your in state rival in football this year :p
 
It rained pretty hard yesterday. Is anyone going out anyway or have a feel for somewhere that might be passable? I'm dying to get out but everywhere I call says they have standing water

The course usually dries out ok. But we had a monsoon there a few years ago during the Solstice survival....and that pond between 11 and littealy flooded over the entire 11th hole and most of the entire 12th fairway. It became a lake not a pond.

Many bunkers were under water, and the wind was a real treat today.

Not fun playing 16 and 18 from the blues into the wind.

Ha...I hear that. 18 into the wind and uphill can make you think you're never going to get there.

Made for the Mini :) Well maybe Dustin Johnson hitting a mini.
