Maryland Public Golf Courses

There is hardly a popular image of Maryland that is not in, on, or around the water. Yet, as golfers will discover Maryland also has mountains to the west, and a vast central region of rolling, wooded hills.

Maryland lies at the heart of cultural, educational and recreational activities on the Atlantic seaboard. The term "variety" captures the essence of this special state.

Maryland is naturally endowed with the surf and sand of Atlantic beaches, a sailing paradise on the Chesapeake Bay, and the adventurous mountain terrain of Western Maryland.

In the past few years, golf courses have found their way onto all of this diverse terrain, and the sheer variety of good public golf in the state is exceptional. Land that was once used as a thoroughbred horse farm, a dairy farm, or even a moonshine distillery, has in many cases been turned into a strapping new golf course.
