About this course
Old South Country Club sits in Lothian, Maryland, a rural area of Anne Arundel County south of Annapolis and east of the Chesapeake Bay. Designed by Lindsay Ervin and opened in the late 1990s, the course occupies rolling terrain typical of the Maryland coastal plain, with moderate elevation changes and a mix of open and wooded corridors. Ervin, a regional architect with several courses in the Mid-Atlantic, routed the layout to incorporate natural land movement and existing tree lines, creating a parkland character that reflects the area's agricultural and wooded landscape. The course plays through a variety of settings, with holes framed by mature hardwoods and others opening to wider fairway corridors. Water features appear on several holes, and bunkering follows a traditional style consistent with Ervin's design approach. The property's topography allows for strategic interest without severe slopes, making the course walkable while still presenting elevation-based challenges in club selection and approach play. Old South operates as a semi-private facility, serving both members and outside play. The club offers standard amenities including practice areas and a clubhouse with dining services. Its location in southern Maryland places it within reach of both the Annapolis area and the Washington, D.C., suburbs, serving golfers from across the region. The course represents a typical example of late-twentieth-century regional design, emphasizing playability and integration with the natural landscape of the Maryland countryside.

Getting there
Old South Country Club lies in the rural quiet of southern Maryland, roughly forty-five minutes from Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport and an hour from Ronald Reagan Washington National, depending on traffic and route. The drive south from either hub gradually sheds the density of the capital corridor, trading beltways for two-lane roads that wind through tobacco country and tidal marshland. As you approach Lothian, the landscape opens into a patchwork of farms and forest, the final turn revealing the club's discreet entrance - a fitting transition from the urgency of Washington to the unhurried elegance of Chesapeake golf.
