Geneva Farm Golf Club

Geneva Farm Golf Club occupies rolling farmland in Harford County, Maryland, near the small town of Street in the northern reaches of the state. Designed by Robert Elder and opened in the mid-1990s, the course reflects the architect's approach to routing golf through agricultural terrain, preserving much of the property's original topography and integrating natural features into play. The layout takes advantage of elevation changes and wooded corridors that define individual holes while maintaining a sense of openness characteristic of former working farmland. The course plays across varied terrain with several holes routed through stands of mature hardwoods and others occupying more exposed ridgelines and meadows. Water comes into play on a handful of holes, typically in the form of ponds or small streams that follow natural drainage patterns. Elder's design emphasizes strategic options from the tee and around the greens rather than relying heavily on forced carries or severe hazards, making the course accessible to a range of skill levels while still presenting challenges for accomplished players. Geneva Farm serves primarily as a public-access facility, drawing golfers from the Baltimore metropolitan area and surrounding communities in northeastern Maryland. The club operates in a region with a strong tradition of recreational golf, and the course benefits from its setting in a relatively rural area that has retained much of its agricultural character despite suburban growth pressures elsewhere in the county.
