P.B. Dye Golf Club
Played On 05/20/2017Good track, and busy
Many people do not like this course as much as others in the vicinity. However, I like it as much as Whiskey. MD Nat'l and Worthington and Musket are better
Course was very busy, as always. We had a 10:12 tee time but didn't get out until ~10:50. Not good.
Course condition was still good at this time of year. Despite the traffic this course seems to get.
I like the layout quite a bit. Greens are fun, but can be very difficult.
Whiskey Creek Golf Club
Played On 05/20/2017Good, as always
We played as a foursome, teed off at ~4:20pm on a Saturday, and finished in ~4 hours. Not a lot of traffic, so we got around pretty well. Breezy day, some holes exposed to the wind, quite a few holes are protected by trees.
Course in good condition. Rough was mowed to a good height to be penal, but did not make it difficult to find balls.
Several uphill holes present challenges.
Little Bennett Golf Course
Played On 05/17/2014Worth a shot
Pleasantly surprised. A group of us travel to the Frederick area once per year (me from OH, others from Philly area). We have played PBDye several times, MD Nat'l once, Whiskey twice, Worthington several times, Hollow Creek once, Rocky Gap (not Frederick area) a few times, and Musket Ridge several times including on this trip. Our group only cares about golf (food & beverage is not important).
Keep in mind that we played in May and it has been a cool and wet spring impacting (I think benefiting) course conditions.
CONDITIONS - Being a muni course, we weren't expected these conditions. Fairways were lush, no bare spots. Rough was lush and penal, but not too tall to make it difficult to find a ball (and we were in the rough a lot). Fairways on par with Whiskey (best of our experience)
PACE - very good, we were not held up by anyone and we did not hold anyone up, but we were slow being the first time we played the course. We teed off at 9:20am, but being cool and breezy it may have kept people away.
VALUE-for us was excellent due to the $15 replay. We always try to play 2 rounds/day. Regular $70 green fee is appropriate.
GREENS-very good. Not too fast, not too slow, not too tricked up, IMO.
LAYOUT-good. Three of the four Par 3s are too similar, i.e., short and drastically downhill (like 2 club lengths worth). 9 and 18 are also too similar. These brought the layout score down.
Don't be afraid to give it a try. It is definitely worth a go.
