Eisenhower Golf Course

About this course
Eisenhower Golf Course, a 36-hole facility nestled near Annapolis, Maryland, carries the weight of presidential legacy, though its challenge is more approachable than the namesake's wartime decisions. The two courses, the Blue and the Gold, offer distinct experiences, but both are rooted in classic, mid-century parkland design. Designed by renowned architect, Ed Ault, the courses were carefully sculpted through the rolling Maryland countryside. The Blue, often considered the sterner test, presents tighter fairways and demanding green complexes, favoring shot-makers with a penchant for controlled fades. The Gold, while more forgiving from the tee, requires deft touch around the greens, rewarding strategic play over brute power. While not a regular host of major championships, Eisenhower has long been a popular destination for local and regional tournaments, reflecting its strong reputation within the Maryland golfing community. Eisenhower stands as a solid public course where locals enjoy the challenge, pace of play, and great conditions for a municipal. It is often a great value and highly thought of as a great place to play for the residents of Annapolis and surrounding communities.

Getting there
Eisenhower Golf Course sits quietly in the rolling countryside of Anne Arundel County, Maryland, roughly forty minutes south of Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI), the primary gateway for most visitors. The drive from BWI traces a gentle descent from the urban corridor into pastoral Maryland farmland, where the landscape gradually softens into the gentle slopes and tree-lined fairways characteristic of the Chesapeake region. For those with access to private aviation, nearby Tipton Airport and the various smaller strips throughout central Maryland offer convenient alternatives to the major hub. The final miles unfold along quiet country roads that deliver you to this storied military course, where the transition from commuter traffic to the serene grounds of Eisenhower marks the true beginning of your round.
