Worth every penny...You will not be disappointed!

I have played the course two times before and every time has been awesome. The course is always in excellent condition as expected since it is/was an LPGA tour stop.
When I arrived, the bag drop gentlemen were quick to get me situated along with a personal bag tag. Everything was taken care of as I parked in front of the facility. Check in was a breeze. They gave me a $5 off coupon to use at the restaurant/bar after the round.
Side note, I arrived at the course one and a half hours early so I could use the practice areas. After I checked in I went to the driving range. The range was in a great condition with the balls towered waiting to be smashed. There was a water station along with buckets to clean off the clubs.
After a solid forty-five minutes, I proceeded to the short game section: putting green and chipping/pitching greens. This is the coolest part of the facility besides the course. There are multiple greens that are in excellent shape. One green is located beside the first tee that is flat and rolling true. The other green is much smaller and it is next to the chipping area. Once again, the green rolls true but has some undulation to it. Both greens were fast and true.
The wedge area was awesome! They have multiple greens, multiple areas to pitch from, and various bunkers. The bunkers were raked and in perfect condition (no rocks, pebbles, etc). Also, there were a number of ball bags fully stock with golfballs.
My warm up was just like the pros.
I went to the first tee with ten minutes to go before I teed off. I booked the tee time as a single so I was well aware that I would be paired with someone. The started paired me with a guy that was pretty good. The starter was very polite and informative. The course does not let you use your own divot repair tool, they provide you with the ones they want you to use.
We teed off on time. Since it was the two of us on a Sunday morning, we played at a foursome pace. We kept a good place and didn't have to wait for the threesome in front of us. There were a number of rangers on the course to keep everything moving.
The course was in great condition. The greens were excellent! They rolled true and had a consistent speed throughout the round. I was very pleased with the course. There were too many great/picturesque holes to name.

If you are a newbie to the game, this isn't the course for you. You should have some skill in all areas of the game if you want to take on this beast. The course requires you to be patient and play smart. You can score well if you make the easy play (heart of the greens, 3w off the tee, laying up). I will play the course again if I get the chance (winter golf bc its cheaper).

Tooting the horn: Gold tees with a 42 on the front, and 38 on the back (even par going into 18)

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!

Tough course in great condition. A must play, and would recommend playing a tee closer than you think for an enjoyable round.

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.
