Glen Riddle Golf Club

War Admiral at Glen Riddle Golf Club represents an unusual entry in American golf course design, as it was created by Jim Furyk, the U.S. Open champion and longtime PGA Tour professional. Furyk, a Maryland native, brought his competitive playing experience to the design process for this course in Berlin, a small town in Worcester County on Maryland's Eastern Shore, not far from Ocean City. The club takes its name from the historic Glen Riddle Farm, a thoroughbred racing operation that once stood in the area and was home to the legendary racehorse Man o' War and his offspring, including War Admiral, the 1937 Triple Crown winner. The course occupies terrain characteristic of the Delmarva Peninsula, with relatively modest elevation changes and a landscape shaped by coastal plain topography. The Eastern Shore setting typically features sandy soils that drain well, along with native grasses and vegetation adapted to the maritime climate. Furyk's design reflects his professional understanding of shot values and strategic options, though the course has not hosted significant professional tournaments or achieved widespread national recognition. Glen Riddle operates as a residential golf community, with the War Admiral course serving members and their guests. The equestrian heritage of the property and its historical connection to American horse racing provide distinctive context for the club's identity, setting it apart from other Eastern Shore golf developments.
