Fun course !

Fun course! Very hilly! Great conditions despite the rain the day before which made it a cart path only round. Close to I95. Will play again next time in the area.

Great Shape

Course was in the best shape I’ve seen it in over 5 years. In years past they would lose the tee boxes and some greens to heat stress and fungus, not so this year. Would be an overall excellent rating if even just a few spots on the range were open to allow some warm up time…hard to start cold on first tee and expect a solid round.

Awesome Experience….Again.

The gentleman that checked us in was very friendly and made us feel welcome. You would be surprised how some courses don’t have people to portray a welcoming smile and a kind word. That goes a long way. We checked in really easy and the starter gave us clear and concise instructions and we headed to the first tee. The course was in great shape and the greens rolled true. It was my birthday and needless to say, I enjoyed it immensely on the course. Love this course and will definitely be back again and will be sure to tell all of my friends about the pleasant experience I had. Thank you Mountain Branch! We will be back!!!!

Great Course

Very nice course and great layout. As a first time player, it’s definitely a course you need to play at least once to know where to hit it. Look forward to playing again.

Awesome course, much improved

I hadn't played Mountain Branch in a few years and it has improved dramatically. Brand new carts, immaculate tees, fairways, and greens, GPS. They are on a par with Bulle Rock and the layout is just as interesting. Lots of elevation changes, large undulating greens, and thick rough make this course a strong challenge. Bring your 'A' putting game as the greens are not only speedy and large, but there are almost no putts without some break. I will certainly be back soon. Also, play with someone who knows the course ... it helped a lot. Thanks guys!

A must play course for golfers.

This is a beautifully well-maintained golf course. If you are a golfer of any level you should play this course.

If you are a low handicap golfer you will love this course. We are going to play this course again, understanding the challenges of the course will help you the second time around.

This course is in magnificent shape. The staff is very friendly and helpful

Memorial Day Round

First off, I’m hesitant to speak as highly as I want about Mtn Branch only because I love the course and want to keep it on the DL. LOL. Simply put one of best tracks in MD. Always in excellent shape, a tough yet very fun layout all around, and outstanding service provided by employees. From the course starter & pro shop to the cart crews. Love playing here and will absolutely keep coming back.

Golf Now is terrible

Had a friend test positive for Covid and still has to pay for him to not be able to show up to the golf course. Golf Now won’t refund my money. Won’t use the service any more
