Local Celebrity

This was a complete surprise, I always try to get to a course at least 45 minutes ahead of the Tee time. Bulle Rock in my opinion is an hour for sure since by the time you check in, wander around the pro shop and this is a pro shop, get out to your cart and smile at your name on your Bulle Rock bag tag. Now you are driving to the range ( follow the dots ) go to the very end and circle back, pick a spot to park and take your bag. I prefer to start light with sand wedge pitching wedge 9 iron then work to the longer irons, then fairway woods then only a few driver, then back to my 60 degree wedge. A whole pyramid of balls,, not a vending machine that spits out a small when you paid for a large. Drive back ( follow the same dots but in reverse ) to the putting green by the starter, bump a few around I usually bring 3 balls that are the brand and series I;m using get a feel for the greens. drive back past the starter to the snack bar, I got coffee since it was cold, wet and a little wind here and there. I went up to the Starter made small talk. The gr4oup I was supposed to play with bailed out since they may have gotten a little wet.
The staff put me in at 9 or so with a pair who I did not know a situation I;ve been in many times.
This time was a complete a real surprise. The pair rolled up did the usual routine of getting balls tees selecting clubs small talk etc, first name introductions ( a odd feeling of familiarity ) step up and tee off. As the one fellow walked back to his cart passed me it dawned on me, I walk over to the cart and introduced my full name and said his then told him what an honor it is to out here with him.
It's funny I've been playing for 9 seasons here in this area when I went to hit my 2nd shot my hands went numb my wrists felt like they had an electrical surge and my elbows felt like cinder blocks where hanging from them. I had to back off the shot catch my self and refocus. When you get to play with a professional athlete you'll get what I'm saying.
We finished out the front the clubhouse had a Bagpiper playing in the mist on a cool gloomy wet morning I heard the comment of " it feels and sounds like Scotland " and it did.
Everyone loosened up on the back 9 a little more chatter " good Shot" " nice putt etc. we finished out I wrapped up with a 95 I could have done better but we can always do better. I thought for a moment about asking for an autograph this man in his career has had many fans jumping out of their seats on Sunday afternoons and during the season myself included. So I ask if he would Attest my scorecard in which he did with a smile saying yes I can do that.
I hope that anyone reading this gets to play with a celebrity someday and I hope they have a great time just as I did.
As for the course it's a Must play.

Top Shelf golf

Haven’t played Bulle is awhile and I forgot how special it is. Went on a HotDeal and got beat up pretty badin the wind. Forgot how undulatting the fairways are. The only flat lie you will have is on the tee boxes. Greens were fast but fair

Only negative was no cart girl on a Masters Eight Sunday? Cant wait to come back. If you are anywhere near the I course do yourself a favor and get a tee time.

Disappointing/Mssiong Key Information

Booked a tee time on Monday for play on Tuesday. When we arrived we were informed that the back 9 was closed due to aerating and greens work. We had to play the Front 9 twice.
Here is the issue. NOWHERE was it mentioned in the booking about the back 9 being closed! We literally did not go to other courses because in the description it stated greens(Aeration Alert) were being aerated, course work etc.
Why should we pay full price to play the Front 9 twice?
When we questioned the staff about why nothing was posted they all just kind of shrugged it off.
Disappointing last round before heading north to home from what was a great trip to NC playing Pinehurst and Tobacco Rd.

Great Course and Staff

Got to play a full 18 here yesterday for the first time (was rained out June when visiting family up here). Top to bottom fantastic club, staff was extremely friendly and are welcoming from the pro shop to the starter. Course is such a fun lay out, Pete Dye never fails there. Conditions especially for cold season were great! Green were killer and rolled fast. Fairways and tee boxes were solid. Only downside was I didn’t bring my own clubs! Highly recommend playing here, I paid 78$ and felt like it was a steal!

Amazing

Course was spectacular, staff was attentive. They had a ranger out who told us after the 6th hole asked if we could pick up the pace a little bit. After the turn he informed us that we were now keeping up with their preferred pace. If you haven’t played this course go do it!

Great place.

I thoroughly enjoyed my day at Bulle Rock. Greens rolled perfectly, but they weren’t really fast. Fairways very well cared. And the rough….well a real test to say the least. Tough golf course but not unfair. It’s the kind of place you need to play a few times to score. I will be back.

Great course

Just as described. First time playing up here & it was well worth the drive. Got a great rate on GN which was a bonus. Staff was friendly. Playing partner helped me with the layout of the course. Course was beautiful. Very nice design. Not the biggest fan of #17 but that’s a minor thing. Come play it if you can! I’ll be back asap.

Course was decent. Just an overall poor experience. Second time playing here. Better choices for the money. Worthington manor 10x better value.

Bulle Rock Review

My rating for the course itself is excellent. There are some issues they really need to address though.. no water on the course, whatsoever and in 100 degree weather, this was sorely missed.. They DID have a cart girl come around, but she spent more time parked on the side of the fairways reading a book, than she did bringing refreshments to the customers.

Excellent!

I enjoyed everything about this course. From the extensive practice and chipping area, the fun layout, and the value rates at twilight, it was a great time. I do wish the turn house closed later than it did (it appears to have closed at 4pm yesterday, a weekday), but other than that I would definitely rank this as a must play in MD.

Lovely Day

Played with a friend and his brother from South Carolina. Course was in excellent condition, as always. I live in the Bulle Rock community but only play the course several times a year. My golf game does not deserve such a lovely course. It is also a bit expensive, but the deal through TeeOff made it worthwhile.
