Maryland National at Maryland National Golf Club

Maryland National Golf Club, carved into the rolling hills of Middletown, Maryland, offers a deceptively challenging experience disguised by picturesque views. The course, playing long, favors a strategic approach over sheer power.

Designed in the early 2000s, it embraces a modern parkland style characterized by generous fairways framed by native grasses and strategically placed bunkers. While visually appealing, the course's true defense lies in its undulating greens and the subtle elevation changes that demand precise club selection. The fairways reward controlled fades into well guarded green complexes.

While Maryland National hasn't hosted any major championships, it remains a popular choice for regional tournaments and local club competitions. The club itself fosters a tight-knit community, known amongst themselves to celebrate the "sweet swing" with a special pour from their celebrated stock of bourbons and whiskeys after a round. It's a place where the competitive spirit thrives alongside a genuine appreciation for the game's traditions.
