Diamond Ridge Country Club

Diamond Ridge Country Club sits in Woodlawn, Maryland, in the northern Baltimore suburbs, where residential development meets rolling terrain typical of the Piedmont region. The course was designed by Ed Ault with Bill Love, a collaboration that brought together Ault's prolific mid-Atlantic portfolio and Love's regional design experience. Ault, active from the 1960s through the 1990s, designed or redesigned dozens of courses across Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, often working with existing topography to create playable layouts for daily-fee and semi-private facilities. The routing at Diamond Ridge takes advantage of the area's natural elevation changes and wooded corridors, characteristics common to courses built in this part of Maryland during the period. The design likely emphasizes strategic bunkering and green complexes that reward accurate approach play, hallmarks of Ault's accessible style. Wooded holes alternate with more open sections, providing variety in both shot requirements and visual character throughout the round. Diamond Ridge operates as a country club serving the Woodlawn and greater Baltimore community. The facility includes practice areas and clubhouse amenities typical of semi-private clubs in the region. The course offers a local option for regular play in an area where public and semi-private golf serves a broad membership base, balancing challenge for skilled players with playability for recreational golfers.
