Rocky Gap Lodge & Resort is an easy drive from Baltimore, Washington, and Pittsburgh. . .the resort entrance is less than 1/4 mile off of Interstate 68 in Allegany County, Maryland.

Most of the front 9 is carved thru the woods. While the fairways are generous, it can be intimidating when there is a rocky cliff to the right of the fairway, and a sharp (as in goat-like) decline to the right.

The back 9 is more open, but still require uphill, downhill, and sidehill shots. One par-3 plays about 2 clubs downhill.

Course conditions are a 4. . .mainly due to circumstances out of the resorts' control. Spring was very wet, summer was nice, September has been very dry. The only other complaint I have is also beyond the control of the resort. . .PLAYERS NOT REPAIRING BALL MARKS AND FILLING IN DIVOTS.

Pace of play is for a weekend foursome. Four to four and 1/2 hours. I have been around during the week in 3 hours.
