This course used to be a favorite for my wife and me for many years. We’ve been playing here since the mid 90’s. For the last several years, this course has taken an unfortunate turn for the worse and the conditions just continue to appear to be deteriorating. While we used to come here a dozen times a year, we are now down to once to see if the conditions have improved...needless to say they haven’t.
This course could be so much more...the setting is beautiful in the Catoctins, but for whatever reason Thurmont has let this course die a slow, painful death.
Clearly, its “glory” years are behind it and the land may be better suited for the dairy cows in the region. It’s halfway there already...

This course used to be a nice, relaxing way to spend a Saturday afternoon. A friend and I went to play one Saturday morning last month and the poor younger gentleman behind the register in the pro shop was doing it all...getting the carts...taking the greens fees...even working the snack bar! He had "zero" help!
On top of that, the course was in "so-so" shape...nothing special. I have paid much less for far better in this area in Maryland!
When I returned the cart in the afternoon, there was an older gentleman in the pro shop...asked him if there was anyone else on staff and he said "he didn't need anyone else because it wasn't very busy." It wasn't busy then, but as I told him, the younger gentleman worked his "butt" off in the morning!
Don't know if they are under new management or not, but whomever manages this course needs to take a look at their staffing!
Used to be a regular, but until I see some positive reviews I will stay away!
