About this course

Little Bennett Golf Course is a public facility located in Clarksburg, Maryland, designed by Dr. Michael Hurdzan and opened in 1990. The course sits within Little Bennett Regional Park, a large natural area in Montgomery County that provides a wooded, rolling landscape characteristic of the Maryland Piedmont. Hurdzan's design works with the property's natural elevation changes and mature tree cover, creating a layout that requires thoughtful course management rather than overwhelming length. The routing moves through varied terrain, with several holes playing along ridgelines and others descending into lower corridors where Little Bennett Creek and its tributaries come into play. The design incorporates natural hazards and strategic bunkering that reward accurate placement over distance. Fairways are generally defined by the existing forest, and greens feature moderate contour appropriate for daily-fee play. The course serves both recreational golfers and competitive players, hosting regional amateur events and high school championships. As a Montgomery County Parks facility, Little Bennett operates as an accessible public course with a straightforward clubhouse and practice area. The setting within the regional park system means the course maintains a natural, less manicured aesthetic compared to private clubs, with wildlife and native vegetation visible throughout the round. The course provides a representative example of Hurdzan's work in public golf design during a period of significant growth in accessible facilities across the Mid-Atlantic region.

Getting there

Little Bennett Golf Course lies in the rolling farmland of upper Montgomery County, reached most directly via Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD), roughly forty minutes northwest by car. The drive traces the I-270 corridor before peeling west onto Clarksburg Road, where the suburban sprawl of the Capital Beltway gives way to open pastures, stone walls, and the wooded edge of Little Bennett Regional Park. The course sits tucked within this preserved greenbelt, a quiet public amenity that feels decidedly removed from the federal bustle just beyond the horizon.
