Falls Road Golf Course — Local services in Maryland

Played here Sunday 6 July 2025 and was super pleased for our first time here. Staff was very receptive and friendly from beginning to end. Cost was about right for the only public course in a mostly private course area, with the location and a weekend round. Pace of play was excellent, in fact, we were the pace group for 18 holes in 4 hours and yes, we were spot on at a 4-hour game - wow, very impressive. The Marshall was checking on us consistently to insure pace of play ahead of us was stacking up to what they desired, so that was quite pleasant to experience - Thank you.

The course was in good condition with some areas on the back 9, nearer the woods, where the fairways had suffered from the extreme heat/humidity and tons of rain, so we kind of expected this before our arrival. Greens and tee boxes were in excellent condition throughout with greens running about what you would expect for a nice Maryland course - fairly fast. There was a staff member grilling some dogs and burgers, which was a nice little add to the course, right on the turn, thank you.

The layout was scenic with enough challenges and play to eat your lunch if you were not careful, so play smarter than normal. If it looks narrow, maybe that driver isn't the best choice. Trust me, I made that mistake - don't follow my example.

We played from the tips as the course is a lil shorter and found the experience pleasant enough to enjoy without feeling we were trying too hard. Our 4-some are all ~60 yrs old and average mid 80 players who normally shoot from the whites. Again, pleasant to play and when we go back, the tips will be our norm.

Overall experience was excellent and our group had no complaints. Our foursome definitely recommend taking the time to play the course. To the staff - Thank you as well.

Follow-up: Played the course again on Friday, 26 September 2025, from the tips again, and the course was in better condition than before. Yes, we finished, again, right at 4...

I’ve played this course several times, and it’s generally well-maintained with good greens and fairways. The fairways and rough are consistently in decent shape, though the greens can occasionally suffer due to players not repairing divots. It’s a popular course, likely due to its location, so it often gets very crowded.

Unfortunately, my most recent experience was ruined by poor staff communication and management. We had a 6:30 AM tee time and were playing at the expected 2hr/9 holes pace posted on the scorecard, with two players in our group shooting personal bests (+2 and +4 through 9 holes). Despite this, we were told by the starter to skip the 10th hole due to a supposed gap ahead of us (again, we were playing on pace per the scorecard). For context, the group in front of us already had a one-hole head start before we even teed off the first hole. After a brief discussion with the ranger, we complied with his request and skipped the hole, only to end up waiting roughly 10 minutes for that same group to finish the par-3 11th. The skip ended up being pointless and disruptive to the remainder of the round. The round was ruined at this point as we knew we wouldn’t be allowed to circle back.

Later, the pro shop informed us that morning tee times are expected to finish in 3.5 hours and not the 4 hours posted on the scorecard. This was never communicated to us before or during the round and isn’t posted anywhere; in the clubhouse, on the scorecard, or on course signage. Had that been made clear, we would’ve played accordingly.

I spent nearly $100 on this round and walked away feeling disrespected and frustrated. Until the course improves its communication and staff training, I won’t be returning and I’d recommend other golfers look elsewhere. We were offered a $10 rain check but that felt this was an...

My son takes golf lesson and absolutely loves it. He has been playing golf since he was 3. The golf course is decent but I have to say my experience with the ranger was annoying to say the least!! My son is pretty good and has been playing golf since 3. and we were paired with two other people. We were pretty good at pace and in fact we had to wait at the first three holes for the group ahead to finish!! The ranger kept coming to us and saying you are not slowing down but my son has to keep up with the rest of the group!! My group was fine and had no issues at all and we were doing good! I asked him “are we slowing anyone down’ he said no. I told him we are waiting anyways at every hole for the group ahead to finish and he said your son has to still pick up. It’s weird that groups ahead of us were a four some and were playing slow and we were waiting at every hole but they have an issue with my son who is enjoying his time, a good golfer, doesn’t slow down anyone but was picked three times in like 8 holes!! I definitely felt singled out and am not happy!!! If we are not slowing down and have to wait no matter what at every hole because the group ahead was taking longer and nothing was said I don’t know what is the issue here!! It was annoying to say the least and made my son nervous and just ruined the whole experience!! It was very discouraging especially for my son and he...
