Play Anywhere Else Around Annapolis

I only paid $20 to play 18, so these are more pointing out flaws that need to be fixed as opposed to complaints.

1. No starter anywhere. Nobody knew when tee-times were, who was teeing off, what the groups were etc.
2. No marshall anywhere. I stopped after 9 because it took over 3 hours. In front of us there were two groups: there was a group of 4 gentlemen, 21-23 years old, and it looked like their first time ever swinging a golf club. Behind them was an actual family, father mother daughter and son, all of which struggled to hit a ball further than 30 yards. No marshall anywhere to tell them to let people play through or speed it up.
3. Greens in awful condition, as usual, with divots and weed patches everywhere. Awful for putting.
4. Bunkers are unplayable concrete patches. Would advise against trying to hit from bunkers if you like your wedges or wrists being intact.
5. In the 3+ hours we spent on the front 9, we saw the Cart Girl once on the 2nd hole and never again. Pretty unfortunate.

All in all this was by far the worst this course has played for me all year. You have to do something about the pace of play here or it will never be worth the money. This place has also has the nerve to charge over $50 for a morning round and I know for a fact pace of play is no different as marshalls and starters are non-existent.

If you enjoy 6-hour rounds and waiting over 20 minutes on each tee-box, for $30-$50 rounds (minus the GolfNow $20 deals), this the course for you. I will not be returning this season and hope things change for next year.

Greens Need Work

Too many greens are covered in dead weed patches, aerated heavily and with sand everywhere, or littered with unfixed divets. Fairways good/decent condition. Tee boxes could use new grass.

Pace of play was normal so about 4 hours for my foursome to play 18. We waited a bit in the front, not at all on the back.

Overall, you get what you pay for around Annapolis. $29 isn’t bad for an afternoon round on the weekend. This course is not very challenging and includes one par 5. Found most holes to be straight up driver-wedge and on the green.
