The course was in terrible condition. Having played this course many times in years past, it was always in good condition and a great value for the money. This time, the course was in terrible shape. The T boxes had all been moved up from their original places and thus, the holes greatly shortened. The T boxes were uneven and in bad shape. The fairways were even worse: bare places had no grass, and much of the covered areas were weeds. One hole, the 15th was closed altogether..

This course is beautiful and challenging. It was in excellent condition and has a wide variety of interesting holes. The greens were in great shape. I have only two complaints: 1) golf now charges too much for booking the T time on their web site; and 2) for the holes that are lined with woods, the woods are replete with thorny weeds that cut and slice you up when you are looking for your ball. Staff should do something about it because it is a serious problem.

If you are looking for a "hollow creek," you won't find a single one. But, if you are looking to drive the ball over ravines, or putt on highly uneven greens ---the two key features of this Hollow Creek --- play this course. Those two features are what make this course, which is well-maintained and pretty, somewhat difficult. It is located inside a subdiviion in Midlletown Maryland, although the homes don't come into play too often. There is also a great finishing hole with the only water fieature (a pnd) with a a fountain) and a green with a stone retaining wall.
