Clubhouse/Pro Shop

Fairways/rough/traps ok. ...Greens were slow...Played as a 4some in 4 hours...Waited every shot. No ranger on the course. 90 degrees and only lukewarm water available on the course. Common for this facility. Grill was rationing ice. Could not enter pro shop unless u were first granted permission. Reason cited was to " save on AC bill". Give me a break. Fix the AC, get a bigger ice machine or go to a grocery store a mile away and purchase some ice! Not that complicated!

A keeper

Clustered Spires is always booked...it's a very popular local golf course and has a lot of play. I felt fortunate to get an early tee time on a Saturday...the four of us drove about an hour to get there. The course was in excellent condition--greens were a tad fast but certainly playable, and the greens were in great shape. The rough was a little penal, but you just needed to take an additional club to get out of it (or stay in the fairway). The pace of play was a tad slow and, with 90+ degree temps, we were looking for trees to wait under. I was surprised there was no access to the Pro Shop (to save AC costs as another reviewer mentioned), but check in was still easy and efficient from outside at the little window. If you can get a tee time, Clustered Spires is always a good challenge and a nice tract.

Can’t beat the price!

I always enjoy playing CS. I’m always surprised that the green fees are so cheap. The course condition and layout is that of a way more expensive course. I’d recommend for sure!

Top 5 Public Course in DMV

I was skeptical w/ course & long commute (coming from Potomac), but man I was blown away w/ the course & more importantly the staff!!

Practice Facility:
- Big Chipping Greens (2 tiers)
- Separate Big Putting Greens (behind ProShop)
- Around 20-30 Hitting Bays/Mats

Course:
- Great Layout
- Above Par Course Maintenance
- Greens (Needs Work, Too Slow, Could be Cut & Rolled More) (Take advantage of Altitude/Weather Conditions in Frederick)
- Difficulty: 7/10 (Not an “Easy” Track)
