About this course

Green Spring Valley Hunt Club occupies rolling countryside in the Green Spring Valley northwest of Baltimore, an area long associated with fox hunting, equestrian estates, and old Maryland gentry. The golf course reflects two distinct eras of American design. Tom Bendelow laid out the original routing in the 1920s during his prolific period of creating courses throughout the mid-Atlantic and Midwest. Robert Trent Jones Sr. later redesigned or substantially revised the layout, bringing his characteristic strategic bunkering, elevated greens, and emphasis on length and shot values to the property. The terrain features the gentle hills and mature hardwood corridors typical of Maryland's Piedmont region. The routing moves through wooded valleys and open meadows, with elevation changes that provide natural variety and strategic interest. Jones's influence is evident in the scale of greenside bunkering and the demands placed on approach shots, while the property's natural contours shape the playing corridors and create optical challenges on tee shots. The club maintains a traditional private membership rooted in the valley's equestrian and social heritage. Green Spring Valley Hunt Club serves both golf and hunt club functions, reflecting the area's longstanding connection to field sports. The course remains a quiet fixture in Baltimore's network of established country clubs, known primarily to members and regional golfers familiar with Maryland's private club landscape.

Getting there

Green Spring Valley Hunt Club lies in the rolling horse country northwest of Baltimore, most easily reached via Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, a forty-minute drive south. The route north traces the suburban fringe before yielding to the open pastures and stone walls of the Worthington and Green Spring Valleys, a landscape that has resisted encroachment for generations. As the road narrows and the estates grow more discreet, the sense of arrival becomes less about signage and more about crossing an invisible threshold into one of Maryland's most storied sporting enclaves - a place where golf, foxhunting, and old-line tradition have quietly coexisted since 1892.
