Hog Neck Golf Course, Easton, MD – http://www.hogneck.com/ (410-822-6079)
Spread out over 255 gently rolling acres, the par 72 Championship Course and the par 32 Executive Course are challenging tests for any golfer. With tees from 2,000 yards to just over 7,100 yards, Hog Neck has the golf to suit your game. A challenging course for low, medium, or high handicap golfers, the 18 hole championship course places a premium on shotmaking with two nines of contrasting styles. The outward nine plays out of the woods on the first hole and immediately the golfers are faced with wide open wind-swept shots that have to navigate a plethora of bunkers and water hazards. Upon making the turn onto the inward nine, golfers find themselves faced with much longer approach shots through a seemingly never ending forest of loblolly pines to well bunkered greens.
Hunters Oak Golf Club, Wye Mills, MD – http://www.huntersoak.com/ (800-697-1777)
Step back in time as you step into the future…this Scottish links-style course complete with meandering berms, never-ending mounds, seemingly inescapable pot bunkers, and slick-surfaced greens, Hunters Oak measures at just over 7,000 yards when you play the back tees. Fairways are made of the finest bentgrass, meticulously maintained to our demanding standards. Designed by British golf architect Ian Scott-Taylor, Washington Golf Monthly called it the “most unique golf course in Maryland.” Each hole is truly different and is named in the traditional fashion, such as “Big Ben”, “Wee Boggle” and “Old Tom”, and our spectacular par-5 finishing hole “Lion’s Den”. There are some golf courses where one or two holes stand out in your mind after play. At Hunters Oak, there are 18 truly distinctive holes that you’ll be talking about in the clubhouse and boasting about to friends and associates back home. |
