Marlborough Country Club, Upper Marlboro, MD

Well I wish I could give a good review because I have played this course well over 300 times . I was a member for 2 years about 8 years ago . One day my normal foursome asked me to pick a place to play . I haven't played here in 3 years so I said lets play Marlboro . What a big mistake that was . Let's start with the Tee Boxes well my backyard has less weeds and spotty grass . The fairways as terrible when you hit it in the fairway you have to roll it to a spot that has grass . The sand traps as so bad that they are filled with Branches , sticks and leaves . Never been racked since 1990's hard as a brick with a lot of dirt showing through . I was truly embarrassed by taking my foursome there . Now after talking about the Golf Course and not really having too much nice to say I figured I should at least put something good in there . The Green are very nice ...Really . The Price was great . But however I would love to pay more for a true golf course . Which I thought that's what Marlboro Country Club was . I have been playing here since 1986 and I really have not seen it ever this bad . One more thing to think about . When you have a course that looked this bad and trust me I'm really being easier than I should be . We noticed there was at least 6 maintenance workers at the course the day we played . We went the whole round and never saw any of them doing anything . When a course looks this bad someone needs to be trying to improve it . They really just don't care at all . From a Gem to nothing but trash within 20 years . I wish I had the time to write more because I could write so much more .

Beautifully designed course with a great layout. Too bad it is in HORRIBLE condition! Tee boxes are not mowed and have overgrown tree branches and vines making your tee shots quite difficult. Fairways have no grass unless you consider crabgrass your preferred lie. Bunkers/traps have rocks and lots of weeds. Not sure there is any sand. Greens are not in good condition and have many ant hills making putting an adventure. Do not waste your money. I can't believe this "country club" would actually have a single paying member with the course in the condition it is in.

Course was in worst condition ever! Be aware of home course bias ratings...
