About this course

White Plains Golf Course sits in Charles County, Maryland, a region of gently rolling terrain in the southern part of the state between Washington, D.C., and the Chesapeake Bay. Designed by J. Porter Gibson, the course reflects the work of an architect who contributed to several mid-Atlantic layouts during the mid-twentieth century. The property takes advantage of the area's natural topography, with fairways that move through wooded corridors and open meadows typical of southern Maryland's agricultural landscape. The routing incorporates elevation changes that are modest but sufficient to create variety in shot-making and visual interest. Greens are generally traditional in size and contour, consistent with Gibson's design approach during the period when many regional public and semi-private courses were developed to serve growing suburban populations. Water features and strategic bunkering provide definition to holes without overwhelming the layout's straightforward character. White Plains serves the local golfing community in Charles County, an area that has seen considerable residential growth over recent decades while retaining its rural character. The course offers a playable test for a range of skill levels, with length and hazard placement that reward accuracy without requiring excessive distance. It represents the kind of accessible daily-fee facility that has long formed the backbone of American public golf, providing a venue where regional players can enjoy the game in a setting that balances challenge with approachability.

Getting there

White Plains Golf Course is reached most conveniently via Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI), situated roughly 45 minutes to the northwest, or Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) for those departing the capital itself. From either hub, the drive south into rural Charles County unfolds through the gentle transition of the Maryland piedmont - past suburban corridors that gradually yield to open farmland and tree-lined country roads. The final approach to White Plains carries you deep into the quiet agricultural landscape of Southern Maryland, where the course emerges as a serene counterpoint to the urban density left behind, offering golfers a genuine retreat within striking distance of the Beltway.
