    Used to be one of the purest courses in OCMD, they have let it go a little because of how many tee times they allow. Still a beautiful track, but they need to offer less tee times to give the course time to breathe.

    Could be better if it wasn’t so over played. The tee boxes, fairways, and greens are ravaged by too many players going through before the course can recover. And the staff/starter brags about how many people come through in a day.

    The gradual build up of getting further into the wetlands is such a rewarding feeling. Incredible scenery with a mix of unique, exacting holes that require accuracy over distance. Exact style of course that I want to play when I am on vacation.

    Tillinghast made great use of the natural rolling landscape on the East course. His large greens with plenty of undulation make for some quick and adventurous putts. Great course for the big stick, but your approach and distance control better be good or Tilly makes you pay.

How we rank

This ranking uses each golfer’s scenery rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Scenery is the scenery score golfers give when they log a round. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs scenery ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher 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. State pages include courses across Maryland. Rankings refresh about hourly.
