Hi was going to be making a trip down to Frederick Maryland and was wondering what course you guys recommend?  I know of at least 4 courses I've heard are very nice there.  Maryland National, PB Dye, Musket Ridge and Whiskey Creek.  Has anyone played those?  If so what one do you recommend?

PB Dye and Whisky Creek are both awesome courses so either one of them would be a good choice.

I live in Maryland.  I love Musket Ridge.  I think it is one of the top courses in the state.  Worthington Manor is a course that holds a lot of US open qualifiers.  It is another course I like.  Maryland National is a step below them but is a good course.  It has one hole that they kind of wedged in, but it is always in good shape.  I don't care for the PB Dye course.  Its a tricked up course.  Lots of railroad ties and blind shots.  It is hit or miss for conditions.  I really don't like Whiskey Creek.  The layout is long.  I hit a bunch of Driver, 3 wood or Driver, 2 iron.  The conditions are never great and are better in the spring then in summer or fall.  There is always a green that is burnt up or has a dirt patch.  Good luck.  If you like BBQ try Black Hog downtown.

Musket Ridge has nice conditions but the course is by far the easiest of all of them.

Thanks for the input.  And I love BBQ so I'll defiantly check that place out.  I doubt it is but would that place happen to use a vinegar base sauce?  Most places up here don't.  I used to live in Wilmington NC and theres a place down there that uses a vinegar sauce and is the best I've ever had.  Regardless I'll check it out.

My choice around Frederick would be Little Bennett GC.  It is a municipal course but course layout and maintenance is superb. You may find better condition on Whiskey or Worthington but if you like strategic courses, check it out. You won't be disappointed.

I second everything he said about Little Bennett.  Though I haven't played the others.

CBS Local Offers (groupon-type thing) just had a $36 special for PB Dye. Finally going to play it this year! Going to try and make a day of it and maybe play 36 (Whiskey Creek / PB Dye).

About 2 years ago there was always coupons for PB Dye in the paper in fact I don't think I ever paid over $50 to play it. I haven't looked recently to see if they are still putting them in the paper but it would be worth keeping a eye on.

Hollow Creek is not a long course, but has undulating greens.  I have played a few times there and each time the course is in great shape.

I did not like Whiskey Creek as I was expecting a lot more, and the course conditions were not up to "par" for the price and hoopla about it.

Worthington has a great layout and will test your game and all the times I have played the course was in great shape.

PB Dye has too many blind shots for my tastes, and the greens were very beat up last time I was there.  Many closely mowed areas around the greens makes you pay if you do not hit and stay on the greens.

      Day 27 (4 Apr 26) - Worked with grandson on basic pitches/punches in the back yard with varied irons/wedges.  Wrapped up the day rolling some putts on the 30’ carpet I can set up in the yard to give varied terrain - and this carpet rolls almost too easy. A great way to figure a read and know that pace has to be near perfect to get in the hole.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      A bit of a struggle today.  Just some thoughts/musings.  For the backswing, it is like I am never going to be moving on from this. I don't know if I can ever get to the point where the backswing isn't like over 1.5 seconds in duration. Which is probably not ideal. I would like to get to the point where I can just fling the arms back and up.  I have to feel like my hands are going to hit my right thigh from P1 to P2. If not then they like to move 2-5 inches towards the ball from P1 to P2. Then it's just bad from there. This feeling is my hands not gaining much depth, just maintaining depth from set up. From the DTL view, the hands head towards the camera.  While I am doing that, hinge the crap out of the club with my wrist only. Hinge in a way that the club is pointing at the camera at P2.  From P2, lift the hands straight up. I can get here, and still roll the club inside and get it way too shallow.  With the downswing. There isn't much here. I still can't get the flow of this or the sequencing of this to line up. It doesn't help that hinging from P1 to P2 just throws off my entire timing as well.
