Black Rock Golf Course may be one of western Maryland's newest courses but it's located near some of the country's most historic sites. Antietam Battlefield and Harper's Ferry are just a few minutes away from this scenic course. The opening holes of the layout are tucked into the Shenandoah Valley while the back nine climbs uphill, offering views that stretch across the Appalachian Mountains. The golf course has plenty of holes that will please long hitters, but mature trees and thick rough frame most of the holes, demanding accuracy. Traps protect the front of most of the greens and you'll come across dramatic undulations on some. The par-4 13th is arguably Black Rock's toughest hole. This sharp dogleg right has a massive tree to the right as well as a pond right in front of the green.

Bad greens

The greens are pathetic for winter golf. Traps are unplayable. Go somewhere else until spring.

Bring food and drinks.

Great value, but with clubhouse under renovation there was nothing to eat or drink. Need a temporary food truck.

Great course, good access from Hiward County

Fairways & greens in great condition. Greens rolled very true, better than most ini Maryland after very hot summer punctuated w very heavy rains. Fun to play, very scenic. Sand Traps show significant rain damage - the only negative for the course. Excellent value. Clubhouse restaurant closed. Staff helpful & friendly.
