    Tillinghast made great use of the natural rolling landscape on the East course. His large greens with plenty of undulation make for some quick and adventurous putts. Great course for the big stick, but your approach and distance control better be good or Tilly makes you pay.

How we rank

This ranking uses each golfer’s conditions rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Conditions is the golfer’s overall conditions score, or the average of their greens, fairways, tee box, and bunker scores when no overall was given. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs conditions ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. State pages include courses across Maryland. Rankings refresh about hourly.
