Best service ever

First time i've played here in about 10 years. Exceeded my expectations from what i had remembered. Course conditions were excellent. Very interesting layout. The maintenance of the grounds throughout the facility were excellent. The friendliness of the staff was the best i've seen around and I play courses all over Maryland. In fact, when we were called off the course for lightning, a computer glitch delayed the manager in issuing us a rain check so he bought us all a drink. We will certainly be returning.

What a golf course, a true test of all your skills right down to your yardage to the pins.
You must play this course a couple of times to get to know where you can and cannot hit to. I’m from out of the area and PBD is already on my list to play when I go back in May.

Fun Day

Everything was great except for a slow foursome that would not allow us to play through. We had to skip around them and miss playing a hole. A great day other than that.

Awesome value

I don't know where else it is possible to play a round of golf at a beautiful private course for $25. The scenery is great. The clubhouse is nice. The staff is friendly. Every hole is interesting. After playing here ten times, it is downright boring to return to the local public courses.

Will be back during season

Course was wet and greens sandy. But 78 degrees in February , can’t be too demanding of a dormant course. With that said I can see this being a premier track during the season, it appears that the superintendent and his staff are really making this place great. I’ll be back !

WInter play

Course played very nicely even though it is out of season. Greens are still rough but this was expected. We definitely will be back when it is in season. Only thing I would change is the pace of play. It seems as though the tee times were much to close together.

Cheap but poor condition of the green

Condition of the green is very poor at this moment. It seem not being taken care much.
The layout of the course is great, the fairway is somewhat really good at this time of the year

Thank you for your honest review. The course was aerified at the end of November so the greens are still transitioning. We appreciate your patience and hope you will give us another try before the Holidays are over.
