Patriots Glen National Golf Club

Patriots Glen National Golf Club opened in 2000 as a daily-fee facility in Elkton, Maryland, designed by Jeff Matthai. The course sits in the rolling terrain of Cecil County in northeastern Maryland, roughly equidistant from Baltimore and Philadelphia, making it accessible to golfers from both metropolitan areas. The property occupies former farmland that Matthai shaped into a layout featuring elevation changes and natural corridors. The routing takes advantage of the site's topography, with holes moving through wooded areas and across open meadows. Water features come into play on several holes, and the design incorporates strategic bunkering that defines landing zones and frames greens. The course stretches to over 7,000 yards from the back tees, though multiple tee boxes accommodate players of varying skill levels. The conditioning and playability have made it a regular venue for regional amateur competitions and local tournaments. Patriots Glen operates as a public-access facility with a clubhouse offering standard amenities for daily-fee play. The course has developed a reputation among mid-Atlantic golfers as a solid test that rewards accurate shot-making while remaining playable for recreational rounds. Its location near Interstate 95 has contributed to its visibility among traveling golfers moving through the corridor between major northeastern cities.
