Faded Memories
I used to play this course a lot when it opened in the 1990s. It was even our home course my senior year at Linganore. What was in great shape then has only become a disaster now. I last played it 10 or so years ago and while I found the houses to be a bit of an eyesore compared to when it opened and nothing was there, few encroach on the holes. But that's not the problem... it's the disgustingly poor condition of the course, and the gull to charge full-freight to play it. Even $40 at twilight on a Sunday was an absolute joke.
It truly pains me to write this as I have great memories of the place. Heck, I shot 71 today and I'm complaining about it here. But look at the tee box in the attached photo. All of them were like that. The greens were recently punched and were sandy. But even if they weren't they were ugly and patchy and slow. The fairways and rough wasn't much better - there was at least grass on it but it was pretty patchy and ugly too.
Sadly, they were having some kind of open house event when I arrived to play it. They let people run around on carts and get in the way as looky-loos while I played as well. With that kind of condition and management, the course will now just live in my memories of what it used to be until I see/hear otherwise. When I am back to visit I'll play elsewhere as there is no shortage of options in the area, and recommend you do the same, especially for the price they were charging, or even for a cheap hot deal it's not even worth it. Sad, very sad.
First time experience great for a public course and the price!
I commuted an hour from DC with a friend and it was great. This course discounts the green fee when it’s aerated, something all courses should do. They did not make me pay for an extra cart (brought a guest along) like I thought they would, and even if they had it would have only been 10 bucks. A few of the holes were spectacular, others were a little patchy in areas. I bet in the summer with nicer greens it is a hidden gem. Greens were quick but THE COURSE WAS INCREDIBLY FIRM. Was a nice switch and took some adjusting and getting used to. Was pretty cool all in all, may visit again next time they aerate. Shot 84 as a single digit handicap, and was proud of it considering what I’ve told you.
Love Challedon
This is probably my 20th time playing the Links at Challedon, love it every time.
Course Condition
I played this course in March and thought the conditions were like asphalt. With all the rain you would think it would be more forgiving. There’s a lot of elevations and blind t-shots and the ball just runs forever. Greens were also very hard and can’t imagine during the summer during dry spells.
We're truly sorry to hear the course conditions didn't meet your expectations, especially considering the weather. Thank you for your feedback as it helps us improve.
Every Club in the Bag
Have enjoyed playing this course over the years. Can’t say enough about how well it was manicured around the greens and they had to be rolling close to an 11…wow fantastic!! As a plus handicap the course is not overly long or overly challenging. However, this is one of the very few courses that I use every club in the bag. It is definitely not a driver then wedge kinda place. The staff is super friendly and the after round bar scene is fantastic with more friendly staff and some pretty good food…I def recommend the Crab Dip. Got a great GolfNow rate and I would recommend this course to anyone.
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round, wayne9304621! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Links at Challedon.
my challedon

golfingrabit, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Links at Challedon.
Great condition and fast drying!
It has been very wet recently and I was really impressed with how dry the course was (with the exception of hole 11). Fairways and greens were in really great shape, and the course layout was a lot of fun. The pro shop were extremely helpful too. I walked the course and it's definitely on the longer side between tee boxes with some solid elevation gain and loss (my total round was 6.85 miles). Highly recommend this course and I will definitely come back when it's a little warmer.
Thanks so much for the great review, u314164425719. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Links at Challedon.
Great winter shape
The course is playing as good as it can for winter conditions. Greens rolling true with pretty decent roll out. Pace of play was nice as there aren’t as many who brave the cold.
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round, Madlax47! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Links at Challedon.
