GlenRiddle Golf Club, Berlin, MD

Fantastic. I use these reviews when I am looking for a new place to play. Some people nitpick. The greens were recently aerrated, and it wasn't perfect, but who cares. This is paradise, and the sand helped slow down the greens so a hacker like me can score. The course is unlike any other I have ever played. Forced carries and layups, force you to be competent with every club in your bag. I absolutely love this course. It levels the playing field. Some holes take the driver out by giving you only 200 or so yards of fairway. Hole 18 is awesome, forced layup at about 155 from the whites. Then a forced carry, another 155 yard shot to a green surrounded by trouble. Of all the golf choices in Ocean City, Glenriddle is well worth it. Its a tough test, but so beautiful and so enjoyable.

Played here in April 2011. Overall, our group enjoyed the layout and the conditions. The only exception was the fact that the greens were top dressed with sand minutes before we got off the first tee. Aerating is a necessary evil, but it would have been nice for them to mention this to us, or possibly offer a discounted rate.

I played here in June/2010 and think it's a great course. It's the better of the two at Glen Riddle and the back 9 will make you earn your score with every shot. It's in great shape with some beautiful scenery. Play here if you have the chance! Visit my full review at www.wamgolf.com.
