$36 (cart included), played on Monday, March 2011 at 6am
Played this course at 8am Monday 3/12, while in Baltimore on business. I found the the young man in the Pro Shop and the early morning starter(Bob) to be very friendly & accommodating. I had an 8am tee time but they informed me that the Superintendent called a "frost delay" & had to wait 40 minutes to tee off.
I was charged $40 which was ok...but I thought - "early March, early weekday morning"...could have been a touch lees...?
I found the course in very good winter shape, the tee boxes & greens in great shape. I was a little disappointed in the fairways as it seems no one replaces divots or fills them in, in the winter?!
On holes 3 and 6, a fairway mower (elderly gentleman) stopped & we chatted; he was very nice and gave me a few tips on the course.
I was the only person that I saw,on the course until the 16th hole & found a two-some in front of me, which I jumped over to play 17 & found a single playing that hole but he was far enough in front that I was able to play-in the round.
Overall a course I'd definetely play again when I'm in town.....
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
