What am I missing here
On the surface, you would think this would be an elite course, but geez, they just dont get it.... I'm a 6 handicap, so I'm not an idiot when it comes to golf.... I repeatedly have bad experiences at this course. For one, you absolutely need a range finder... they only seem to mark the 150, if they even do that... then a few land marks here and there... i personally dont bring one, i like to do the math from 100, 150, 200 marks... absolutely cant do that there,... then if you get pushed with the slow play, or play with a fair golfer, things get worse....warning, hole number, maybe 4, driveable blind par 4, your life is in danger.... Some small things... the golf cart was not cleaned, i mean, seriously,... paying higher prices, and you cant clean a cart.... they dont seem to care about the little things... weeding, flower beds, etc... they have a couple arrogant personalities on their staff, which is never pleasant.... things never go smooth when checking in, they always have a problem "with their system"... gets old. Sadly, i live 2 miles from this course and i never want to play it.
Poor pace of play but great modern layout
I have never experienced a round that went less then 5+ hours at this course. Out side of that the layout is great for all player types. The staff is friendly and don’t forget to say hi to the course cat Snowball.
Top notch track
Mountain Branch is a fine course and in quite nice shape for this time of year. To those in Philly who are looking for a new day trip to play golf and eat well, this is a place to go to for sure. The course is on rolling hills and the changes in elevation make club selection crucial. The greens are enormous and 3 putts can be your biggest enemy here. The staff is nice and the carts are really nice. Had a great day on my recent visit!
Excellent for this time of year
For Feb 26, the course was in remarkable shape. Great layout. Greens are gigantic and it's hard to hit approaches close. Can't wait to come back in prime season.
Very good surprise
Did not expect such a nice experience in winter. Perfect staff conditions surpinsigly good for a winter game, challenging but forgiving course, although you have to be able to drive at 250 to have a chance to par. Loved it
Great Day
Got a foursome together for maybe the last time this year. Course was a tad slow with lots of annoying leaves. That aside, the course was in great shape. The greens were nearly perfect. This is a tremendous layout, with a great mix of holes. All levels of golfers can enjoy this course using the appropriate tee box. Best clubhouse bar/restaurant I know in MD, so grab some food and have pint at the end. Always a nice crowd.
Not Cary Path Friendly
Very hilly course and the fairways slope away from the cart path. Why does this matter, was near 100 degrees out and cart path only when we played. A LOT of side hills , uphill, downhill walking. To be fair we only payed front 9 so can’t speak to back 9 layout. Hardly a flat lie on any hole.
Beautiful Course
Mountain Branch is a beautiful but challenging course. Course conditions were great. Thick rough will swallow golf balls.
