Worthington Manor Golf Club

Worthington Manor, etched into the rolling Maryland countryside near Urbana, offers a modern interpretation of classic parkland golf. The original design, a testament to the vision of the early 2000s, presents generous fairways that belie the strategic challenges awaiting on and around the greens. Errant tee shots are often forgiven, but approaches must be precise to navigate the subtly contoured putting surfaces. The course favors a right-to-left ball flight, though confident fades from the tee will find ample reward. The handiwork of golf course architect Brian Ault, Worthington Manor meanders through mature hardwood forests and open meadows, creating a visually appealing and varied playing experience. The routing brings water into play strategically on several holes, demanding thoughtful club selection and execution. While not a regular host to major championships, Worthington Manor is regarded as a solid test of golf in the region, and an important amateur-level course. The membership at Worthington Manor enjoys a particularly strong social bond, fostered by regular tournaments and events. A local favorite, their halfway house crab cakes are a culinary highlight enjoyed after the 9th hole, and one of the most heralded after course treats in Maryland golf circles. It is a testament to the club's commitment to providing a memorable experience both on and off the course.
