Back nine layout is pretty awesome esp par 4 18th with water left, several risk reward holes and a twisty par 5.

One of the best public courses in PA. Friendly staff, challenging course. Super fast greens for the area. Flatish course and plays strong. Fun place and worth the price.

How we rank
This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included, and the tees must carry a single slope rating (55–155) and course rating. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by slope rating, then course rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Havre de Grace, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
