About this course
Baltimore Country Club's East Course, nestled in the rolling hills of Timonium, Maryland, is a testament to early 20th-century golf course design principles. The gently undulating parkland layout, originally crafted by A.W. Tillinghast during the Golden Age of golf architecture, rewards strategic play and a deft touch around the greens. Mature trees frame the fairways, demanding thoughtful approaches and placing a premium on shot-making rather than sheer distance. While the East Course hasn’t played host to golf’s grandest championships, its storied grounds have witnessed plenty of regional and amateur competitions over the decades. The course presents a balanced challenge. Although renovations, led by Keith Foster, have subtly modernized the layout, the classic Tillinghast character remains, offering an engaging and enjoyable experience for golfers of all skill levels. The membership at Baltimore Country Club reveres the East Course for its traditional charm and playability. The club itself boasts a welcoming, family-oriented atmosphere, with golf as a central pillar. After a round, members often gather in the clubhouse, where the club's signature crab cakes are a beloved tradition, offering a taste of Maryland's culinary heritage.
