Worthington Manor Golf Club, Frederick, MD

whenever i play worthington manor ( 2 or 3 times a year) there is often a vibe in the pro shop--snooty and dismissive.( i've played at hundreds of courses both private and public all over this great country). working in a pro shop could be fun--welcome the golfers--take their money--tell them to have fun. remember--that golfer has not yet 3-putted--has not yet found the water--hasn't skulled a trap shot.on the first tee he's still happy.

Played Worthington Manor on 4/6/2012. Enjoyed the challenging layout of the course, however some of the pin locations were a bit irrational. The greens were aerated a week before I played, but didn't effect putting too much. Greens still rolled fast so be prepared. Hole #3 is one of the most challenging holes here and anywhere, for that fact. Long ball drivers/hitters will do well here. Extremely sloping topography. Hole #6 over the pond is amazing and my favorite on the course. I could tell the course was well taken care of by the conditions and attention to detail. Staff was friendly and they have a nice little clubhouse with typical golf course fare. WM has a very rural feel with only a few houses visible from the course. Overall, I really enjoyed playing here and for $39 on a friday afternoon, a great value for the caliber of course this is! Will be back.
