A real challenge from the tips, absolutely beautiful course
My morning at Worthington Manor was cold, wet, and wonderful. If you look closely at any of the pictures that include me, you’ll notice I’m wearing two gloves, which only happens on really cold days. However, no amount of rain or cold could ruin this good walk.
Playing from the tips, Worthington’s rating (74.7) and slope (145) threaten to challenge you; and they deliver on that promise. Beyond the 7000+ yards, there are plentiful turns, tight targets, deep extended rough and elevation changes to test your game. None of that, of course, includes the bunkers, greens, and water hazards which are also very much in play throughout this track. There are multiple holes where you are facing more than just added distance by playing all the way back, as the angles can dramatically change where you can effectively place your ball on the fairway.
Having said all of that, even from the back, the course is playable and there are very few holes which would cause too much trouble if you played them decently. The par three 17th might be the exception to that as you will need a good 200 yards of carry off the tee and you are essentially firing through a shoot of trees most of the way. The tee is elevated, though, so you don’t need a full 200 yard club to clear the creek in the front of the green.
This course is built on a watershed, and there are subsequently very few holes where you are not having to carry a decent amount of marshy waste area or water of some kind. Worm-burners off the tee here will frequently cost you a ball. The first and second holes are great examples of this; both requiring a roughly 200 yard carry to the elbow of a dogleg left. Because you are firing into a dogleg, the depth of your landing area is naturally reduced. The script is somewhat flipped on the long (437 yards) par 4 third, where the marsh carry is to the green; which, because of the length of the hole is going to be a longer iron for most players (without a good tee shot, this could quickly become a hole that plays as a par 5, requiring a layup shot before your approach). You get the idea, Worthington Manor will make you play some golf.
What you will not be challenged by, is finding a good view. This course is beautiful both in layout and environment. Surrounded by trees and rolling over and through countless hills Worthington has as many vistas as it does divots. The tee to green, everything is in terrific condition with nice sharp lines between cuts and putting surfaces that roll true (they were a little slow the day I played because of the rain, but my understanding is that on most days the pace is very good as well). As eluded to above, the design of the course is great, placing as high a premium on course management as ball striking.
The staff at Worthington were also commendable. Overtly friendly and helpful they were a significant feature and added considerable value to my visit. I talked to one of the guys for a few minutes about my trip and the experiences we have had. From the stories of my rounds thus far, he was able to identify holes in which I’d be likely to score and how I should go about doing it (as well as which ones I should simply manage and live to fight another day). By the time I was on the course, I felt like I had already played a practice round; and this helped… more than a little.
To me, if you are in the area, Worthington is a must play. I’m very excited about trying to get back out there and squeeze a round in during my next trip back east.
Awesome staff
Left my slingback on cart #25. Came back for it after 30 mins and they found it in cart . Safely returned to me. Appreciated the assistance by the young man who man the cart. Thanks
Awesome and challenging course
Played with a foursome on 11/16/23 on a mid 60 degree day. Course was in great condition from tee to green. The layout is challenging with tight fairways but very fun to play. Greens were extremely fast with a ton of undulations and very difficult. Once we got the hang of the speed, we rolled them a lot better. I’ll definitely add it to my list of Western MD courses to play.
Course is in Great Shape
Beautiful course and great amenities. Course was in tip-top shape.
Worthington Manor Worthy
Course is in great condition and beautiful views with the leaves changing colors. Pace of play is as expected on a weekend and foursomes allowing twosomes to play thru.
Difficult course, below average facilities
Worthington Manor is a very challenging course for first time players; big elevation changes, extremely fast greens, thick unforgiving rough and lots of blind shots. It charges premium greens fees, which must go into course maintenance because the off-course facilities aren't in keeping with a premium experience. The golf carts are old, dusty and should be replaced or refurbished. The range is cramped; you have to step forward from the mats to be able to sink a tee into the ground to hit driver, which just feels dangerous. The range should probably be renovated, perhaps with low nets to keep balls from rolling into the first hole, or moved to another part of the property if there's space. The cart paths have lots of potholes. So I like the course and want to play it again now that I have some local knowledge, but considering the $110 greens fees, the overall experience feel a bit muni-like.
Great course
First time I played there but will be back asap! Course was in very good shape except one tee box on a par 3 was rounded up. Greens are unforgiving. Putt & chip right or it’s coming back to sender. I played with a member who was able to give me tips on the course, he was a great help & an even better golfer. I didn’t play exceptionally well but had a great time. Then had a burger at the grill which was 10/10. I’m looking to get back out there this week. If you appreciate a great course, play it, don’t hesitate.
