Great little course!
Cart path only slowed the pace of play considerably. It had apparently range of the previous night. Marshall allowed us to scatter after the 14th hole on the back nine.

Foursome was tediously slow, our 2 some chased for 5 holes, playing at a hit and sit pace - not the way the game is meant to be played. Ranger moved us in front of them on hole 14 and they were not happy…
We finished in 25 mins after that.

If you’re looking to play a virtual round while working on a few things, it’s worth it.

Squeezed in between 2 foursomes and a 9-hole men’s league. So we were chased for the front 9. Back nine first of the 2 foursomes slowed considerably, we barely finished the round.

Played front 9 in little under 1.5 hours; took close to 3 hours to play the back 9... No ranger/marshal at all, which would have helped. There was a single, twosome, & foursome in front of us. Why the single didn't pair up with the twosome still confuses me.

The course played very fast; the tees, fairways and greens were hard. Balls rolled off the greens if played incorrectly.
It had been 10+ years since I'd played the course and will certainly play it again soon.

The fairways could have been in better condition, they appear to have some sort of disease in some parts (patches of rooty grass that's not easy to hit from). Tee's were in decent condition, greens were excellent but speeds varied from green to green.
All said, it's a tough little course that will test your game. Played from the back, blue tees at 6000+ yards. The only thing about the course I'd change is the 100% uphill, par 5, 18th hole. It's a bad hole but was obviously designed within the parameters of a townhome community.
On another note, the course is home to the Howard County First Tee program, which teaches kids the game of golf. Will play there again.

I've played the Falls Road Golf Course many times in my day and I've never seen it in better condition! There wasn't one ball mark on any of the 18 greens; the fairways and tees were in great shape too. Get out there soon and enjoy this local treasure!

I played with a buddy of mine and we went out as a 2 some. On the 3rd tee was a single with a 4-some ahead of him. Instead of playing with my friend and I, this single thought it was a good idea to join the 4-some ahead of him, complaining to them that the 2-some behind him kept hitting up on him. What he should have done was played with my friend and I to make a 3-some.
This slowed the pace of play to a grinding halt. a 3-some behind my friend and I started to hit into us, which accomplished nothing. After informing PB Dye's clubhouse that a marshal was needed, we were told one would come and break up the 5-some in hopes that would speed up play. However, no marshal showed up.....
My friend and I called it a day after 13 holes, that took 4.5 hours to play.....

Will definitely play the course again as it is a challenging track but better management is needed in maintaining a good pace of play.
