I learned to play the game on this course growing up. Thirty years ago, it was a busy, well kept track with a friendly pro and interesting layout. Coming home to visit I wanted to take my dad out and rekindle some old memories on the ground where he taught me to play. I paid $12 cash (they only take cash....odd) to the grumpy old pro who was 10 minutes late to open the place for our 8am tee time. The gas carts are beat up and dirty and even though there is a driving range, we were not allowed to hit off the ragged astroturf tee boxes. I think because they dont have range balls. The first hole is the original #3 hole, a short par 3 and the tee box, aside from being elevated, looked like any piece of turf in any Maryland home owners yard, except there were a lot of divots. The greens were uncut for at least 3 days, sprinklers running everywhere, half of the holes were filled with water, incorrect yardages between the score card and the postings on each hole. It was still great fun to get out and play with my dad and my brother. If I didnt have the memories, I would have stopped playing the course after the second hole as the flagstick was laying in a bunker and the course grounds crew, of two work/study students I assumed, drove around non stop in their cart wasting time, not even making an attempt to work. Even at $12, the place was a ripoff. For a school that charges ~$50k a year per student, you would think that they could afford to make the course just decent, if not decadent.

As a golf course it is unremarkable but as a foot golf course it is a blast. Highly recommended to bring the kids for an afternoon of fun.

They have an awesome 18 hole, foot golf course that is played with a soccer ball!

Very small and only 9 holes. Not worth the price.
