Paid for the 2 year deal that they offered earlier this year ($199 for 2 years) and pay a cart fee every time I play. Tried to play last Friday and after I paid my cart fee I was told it was a 2hr wait for my tee time. Then another member friend booked a tee time for yesterday on their website, he was charged $4 to do that and when we showed up for our tee time we were told that since we booked online our membership couldnt be used since we booked online and had to pay full greens fee. The course was in better shape then it had been but was still in bad shape. Fairways and tees were slop and saturated with mud and water. Play was slow and waited on every shot. No ranger except for once on the 14th tee the so called pro came by to sing praises of how the pace of play was. He has no clue on how to run a golf course. I will say you got me for my money and that I will not be coming back. I tried to get my moneys worth out of one year but I dont think thats possible. Dont not play this course.

Greens meh. Price meh. I wouldnt go back at $60...Ill steer clear.

Every time I come here it’s a 5+ hour round. They don’t enforce pace of play. They schedule groups every ten minutes knowing that’s going to fail with their course setup and skill levels thar play here. I would not recommend golfing here.

1st time playing this course and it is a hidden gem. The layout is great with plenty of trees, wooded areas and dogleg lefts and rights to make it challenging. The course is in pretty good shape except for a few burnt greens, but I would definitely recommend playing and will be back.

Played this golf course yesterday 9/3/20. It may be the in the worst shape of any course I have played in my 50+ years of playing golf. This place should not be open and charging the money they charge to play there. Only one positive great layout.

The course condition has deteriorated severely over the past two months. Greens were not mowed, multiple bare spots and ball marks. Fairways were bare and tee boxes were bare and not mowed where there was grass. Every sand trap had water in it and more rocks than sand. I do not recommend this course even for the cheaper price. You get what you pay for.

Poor drainage and the course needs some updates. Nice layout. Id probably come back if they make some improvements.

I cut grass for several residents in the neighborhood very beautiful..peaceful..and safe place

This course is UNPLAYABLE. The greens consisted of various combinations of dirt, mud, burned out greens and crab grass. Paid only $31.00 for the round and STILL feel like I got ripped off.In all honesty, this course needs to be shut down for an extended period of time, they need to rework ALL the greens, several of the fairways and most of the teeboxes. Unless that happens, the one star I gave should be considered generous.

Always liked this course when it’s in good condition. But now, the greens are unplayable. Sure they’ll get better. Wait.

Its like having a driving range, putting green & 18 hole golf course all to yourself. Plus the bar & grille has good food & fairly priced drinks, w/ friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere. Rarely is it busy, so the staff is usually attentive & service is quick.Id like to see them do more business, so they could thrive and maintain things to a higher standard, but selfishly I also enjoy the fact that its never crowded.I really hope they fix the cart paths for the 2020 season. The driving range needs time dedicated to upkeep & new golf balls as well.Tip: The back 9 seems to be in a lot better shape than the front 9. I imagine the latter gets far more use, so it shows more wear-n-tear.

The place was clean, the service was great are waitress always mad sure that we were good, Lenny is awsome.

Dont waste your money. Burnt up greens and tee boxes accompanied by terrible drainage system. Its a shame. Course has a nice layout.

Great Layout! Conditions will improve, needs a little more time. The Rate is real good!

Course is coming along. Getting better. However it is becoming crowded and there are no rangers on the course. A 5 hour round is not unheard.

Played today for the first time. Had an absolute blast! A lot of reviews I read mentioned the poor conditions of the course, but for the price, its not that bad. Could use some updates, but if you are looking to just work on your game and play 18, I would definitely recommend trying it out. Will definitely play again!

This might have been the worst course I’ve ever played on. Water in every bunker, burnt out greens, etc. This course needs a complete overhaul.

Course is in unplayable shape. Should not be charging people money to play.

Good golf course its way better than years ago

Look at the condition of the course. Almost all the tee boxes, fairways, and greens were burnt and in horrible condition. All 18 holes had something wrong with it in one or more of those 3 areas. The excuse given to us at the clubhouse was that the course got hit hard with the sun, but so did every other course this summer; Fox Hollow, Greystone, Rocky Point, and Pine Ridge are all in great condition. I dont know what happened that cause the course to be in such poor condition, and honestly I dont care, but whoever got the course prepared did not do a good job and it shows. You charged $47 for people play on a course that should be closed or it shouldnt be higher than $20. Unless the condition of the course improves dramatically next summer or the price of a round goes down, do not expect me to come back or to recommend Patriots Glen to other golf enthusiasts.

It rained yesterday so I expected the tee boxes to be muddy, but the traps were full of water and the greens were maybe a 4/10. Shouldnt be charging full price for almost un-puttable greens.

Great deal $199 for 2 years

Greens are trash and so are the tee boxes over priced for a course that isnt maintained

Just played Sunday Mar 22nd, 2020. The course is a joke. They should be embarrassed to charge $40 for this course in the terrible condition it is in. Would not advise to play. Cart paths has more holes than you can imagine. Greens are ok for some and nasty for a lot of them. I love the lay out of the course. Just needs ALOT OF WORK. Should lower their rate to $20.00 with cart until they fix it up. Ed Olivers ( Porkys ) is playing GREAT. Greens are fast and true. I only played it because I thought the after Sunday the courses were going to shutdown. Hope they fix the course. If the OWNER really took a cart and went through all the holes he would understand why I think this course is not worth playing for $40 bucks. If he does..........shame on him

Terrible conditions. Fairways, Greens and Tee boxes hardly any grass. Not worth the price.

Great neighborhood, very clean and well kept. No crime. Communal clubhouse, pool and gym. Wonderful place to live in a town thats typically not the greatest in MD.

Worst maintained course I have ever seen. No grass anywhere. Not sure it qualifies as a golf course anymore. Thus place should not even be open. Beyond deplorable. Avoid at all costs. Play miniature golf instead.

This place was terrible. I played with 2 other guys and we could not believe what we were looking at. This was insult to golf. From zero sand in bunkers to greens with crabgrass everywhere black and diseased. I could on and on. I hope this review helps somebody save their money. This place shouldnt be taking money. This course needs a lot of maintance. I dont even do reviews but we were so disappointed to drive 50 miles and pay to play on such conditions was unbelievable. I been playing for years and never seen a course this bad open for business.

Really improved greens and looks great.

Have never played Aronimink or Merion.Nor do I want to.If youre a hacker like myself who is happy with a few beers and shooting 100, go here. Last weekend we saw greens that were in good condition and others that were not. Seemed to be same as far as fairways and rough. There was evidence of maintenance.They do need to do more though.

Update: very sad regression untrained staff as they never know pricing nor how to expeditiously check one out.The course is in terrible condition and the price is equivalent to other far superior golf courses in the area.The grounds at this location could be one of the best as the scenery is beautifulYet there are sand pits in almost every green!!!!Massive improvement from years past!!!It’s always been one of my favorite courses and now that the greens are catching up to the surrounding beauty wow what an amazing place to cook off. I would highly recommend this to any Individual let a professional or amateur all golfers will enjoy this course great job new owners/management looking forward to what the future holds for you

Patriots Glen hosted our wedding and reception and went out of their way to take care of us and our guests. Great food and hospitality. We highly recommend them!

Course is definitely in need of some work, but is in better condition than it was a few years ago when I played there. Arrived prior to tee time to check in, no one in the pro shop for 15 min. Had to walk arou d and find a staff member to come up and check us in. No credit card charges with the beverage cart kinda sucks...cash only.

We came down from Philly to play this course after reading the many reviews stating how significantly it has improved lately. Having just played, all I can say is its hard to imagine the shape it must have been in before to consider the current conditions an improvement.This course is in awful condition. Bald spots on every green, crab grass, uncut fairways, gritty, grassless tee boxes, water-filled bunkers, etc. All in all a frustrating decision to make the drive considering how many superior options we drove past to get here.

The course is a little rough but its a great place to hit the ball around the greens are fine and the price is right.

The course has a very nice layout but its not maintained very well. Lots of bare ground even on the greens. And the rough is too long

Just terrible conditions from tee box to greens.

Good lay out,but in rough shape. Greens, fairways and tee boxes all need help. Nice staff clean and friendly club house.

Improving. Good course.

Dont waste your time or money here.Paid $40 for a tee time at 8 am and there was no staff at the club until 8:05 am, no chance to warm up or hit balls. Then the greens are completely unplayable. I play regularly and understand that the season can be hard on greens and fairways. But this is a combination of not even caring about it anymore.I was hoping with the re opening that we would see a change on this course but actually is getting worse.

You couldnt pay me to play at this course again. A real shame to because the layout is a good one. It could be a great course with any care and maintenance. As it is, it looks like the Salt Flats. Huge swarths of the fairway and giant patches on the greens of baked out sandy/dirt patches that looked like they havent seen water in a month. We had to move countless balls from on the fairway off of these patches and drop onto the nearest square patch of grass we could find. On the greens we had to move balls several feet so that we wouldnt be putting over/through a sand bar or what could best be described as steamrolled mulch. Apart from cutting the grass (which seemed to have last happened a few weeks ago), if you told me they have put $20 into course maintenance this past month, I wouldnt believe you.It was that bad. Stay away.

Went for drag queen dinner... show was great but half hour in daughter got her food but no drinks,,told another waitress we needed drinks..still never came..first waitress came back and had to write down aour drinks,,, really very bad service will not go back .. may I add the salt shaker sticky and had brown specks in it... just gross

Course is near unplayable wanted to ask for our money back after the first nine. tee boxes are in disrepair most holes were played from the womans tees fairways were mostly dirt and crabgrass and the greens were not much better greens were mostly dirt and un puttable. We should have been told about the course conditions prior to play. The only thing that was nice were the electric carts and thats pretty much it. Its Saturday and I only see about 10 cars in the lot and half of them are from our group. Beware!!!!!

Worst coarse Ive ever played

The course is in really rough shape. Really rough. Tees, traps, fairways, greens; even the cart path is a mess. I dont know if this course was ever in good shape, or better shape... or when that was. Too bad. I paid $20 for the round thru GolfNow... its not worth more. I cant imagine how this place stays in business; maybe its deeded to remain open through the HOA?The positives:1. it was only $202. the layout isnt bad, could be nice.3. Mid-week I got through my round in 2.5 hours; wouldve been quicker if I hadnt ran up on a twosome the last 4 holes.4. the carts are electric, so... theyre quiet. (and yes, Ive actually seen old gas carts at some courses recently)5. its not likely to be very busy.

Its not bad.

Burnt greens, burnt fairways, burnt tee boxes

Overpriced for condition of course

I dont know who would give this place 5 stars but its bad .....I thought by now they would have improve the course, but it still as bad as it was when they reopened it. I have worked at a golf course for 3 seasons and you can tell they dont care. They need to shut down 9 holes and work on them and if it takes a year so be it. And then do the other 9 the next year. But when you have carts sliding across the fairways like today you will have nothing but bald spots and disease and it will never get any better. I hope that they dont end up closing like a lot of other courses have

I gave this course 1star now due to the fact that I played there a few times in the last a year and a half and had so much hope for this course. I absolutely loved the layout and the people were great to converse with. The new GM at the time discussed how they were making big improvements and the turnaround that was taking place. By reading these latest reviews, not much has apparently been done since then to improve conditions. The responses to these low ratings are “canned” responses that now prove to be nothing but trivial script with very little sincerity. At $30-$40 a round, how can you possibly make the improvements to the deplorable playing condition of this course? I understand the need to generate revenue, but you’ll never get there with people talking how $20 is too much for a round here. That is an insult that should make your furious. Just simply growing and maintaining the grass areas would be a huge improvement. The condition of the bunkers and cart paths would be more costly, but correctly doing this a little at a time will pay off over the course of a year. Close 9 holes, charge the $30-$40 greens fees for a 9 hole round and work on the closed portion of the course and let it take root. Then repeat. In a year or so you’ll be able to charge the $60-$70 per round that the layout would support. Get it in top condition and you’ll rival the Wyncotes and Bulls Rocks of the area. Low expectations and prices will breed low results and poor customer satisfaction. Imagine if more than the typical 10-15% of players who have played there actually took the time to give you feedback? You would probably have sold the property to someone building more apartments. No need to reply. As I’ve spent a good portion of time reading thru all of these reviews, your answer would do nothing more than insult my intelligence by telling me you’re elevating it to your “whatever” for action. Please come up with a plan and follow through and make this a playable course or sell it to someone who will.

*Update- May 2019* The course has dramatically improved since my prior review last year. Great job to the staff and all of the groundskeepers for doing an excellent job in bringing the course around. I have been playing over the last few months and each time I return the conditions have noticeably improved. All of the tee boxes and the greens are really looking good (If only everyone would fill or replace their divots), and the fairways are in the best condition I have seen them yet. Keep the carts on the path whenever possible and it will continue to improve. Some bunkers still have drainage issues and need more sand but Im sure they are in the process of working on that. Definitely a gem of a course that has the best value and one of the best layouts of any course Ive played. Dont worry about the previous negative reviews because this course is really shaping up and if you try it you wont be disappointed.

This is a pretty mediocre course, A very good place to go to when your game isnt exactly where you would like it to be. Its a decent play for anyone with a handicap above 18. Ive played here for quite some time now and the prices seem fair. The course could definitely use a little love, specifically the greens because people dont repair their divots. but to do that, the price would need to be raised. So Im happy with the way it is. I play this course more than any other course strictly based on price. It gives me plenty of practice to improve my game. On a side note, Ive never had to wait due to slow play. Thats something I enjoy, unlike most other courses.

Great food and golfing activities for the family. Kids live to swim in community swimming pool with grilling capabilities.....

Course could use some work done. But for $22 its ok to go hit the golf ball.

The course is in rough shape. The place never dries out. Most greens were tough to putt on and the fairways were a mess.

Greens need work

I play golf a lot and am about a 10 handicap. While this course has a great deal of potential it needs a ton of work. Tee boxes and fairways are in pretty bad shape. The greens and carts are the nicest things about the course and even the greens are mediocre at best. Constantly have to move ball in fairway to get a patch of nice grass. Tee boxes are mostly weeds and dirt. Hopefully someone puts some time and money into the course because it has a nice layout and has the potential to be very nice. Wouldnt pay more than 20 bucks to play here.

Played this course many times years ago and loved the layout! I’m glad to see it’s on it’s way back. The staff was friendly and I’m looking forward to playing here again!

I played Patriots Glenn today after it had rained a little bit overnight. The course doesnt drain well so it was soggy. The course is coming back but will need more time to return to its past conditions. The tee boxes and fairways are spotty and at least three greens were basically unputtable due to bare spots and weeds that have been treated and are in the process of dying. The rough was US Open rough with the grass actually bending over. I lost three balls that drifted a few feet into the rough. They went to the bottom of the rough and were covered by grass. Little sand in the traps too. Heres the deal---if you want a recreational round to practice your shots, Patriots Glenn is fine. If you demand really nice smooth greens look elsewhere. If you want pristine conditions you will be disappointed. That being said, I played for under $30 bucks and went around in 3 1/2 hours and had a great time. Ill be back in the Fall when conditions will hopefully be better.

Course not in good condition now

So I found a $20 deal for a round of golf here, and I am afraid to say that I overpaid for the round.Let me preface my review with this statement, I have worked in the golf course maintenance field for the last 10 years. Of those 10 years, 9 of them have been in the transition zone. So I fully understand the challenges that this course and crew face. I currently work at a course that actually received more rain and hot weather than Patriots Glen did this year, based on some quick weather history research. Now back to my review.I am not certain why the course is in the condition it is currently in. Basically, I can not determine if the condition is due to a lack of care, a lack of knowledge or a lack of money. For those that say “someone needs to spend some money to get the course back in shape,” no amount of money can fix this course if the people doing the work don’t care or don’t have the knowledge base to complete it properly.There is a lot of dead grass, I mean ALOT, all over the course. The tee boxes are mostly dirt and algae is most cases, there are greens with less than 50% living grass and the fairways are more than 70% dead. Most of the dead grass on the fairways is due to the weather changing and the warm season weeds declining, and I would say the same for the tee boxes. The dead grass on the greens is another story completely. Most of the dead grass on the greens is due to lack of care. By lack of care I am saying that the grounds crew needed to hand water the hot spots on the greens when the weather was hot to prevent the grass from declining.Overall, the course is amazingly still wet. There are spots on the course in fairways and rough the are absolutely mud. There are obviously drainage issues that need to be addressed, but there are also a lot of trees and under brush surrounding the holes that needs to be removed. Found this will increase air flow and allow the course to dry out faster, and help to prevent the grass from drowning. There are bunkers that have algae growing in the standing water because they have no working drains and no one has pumped them out.All that could be from lack of knowledge, however, when the water in the ball washers smells like rotten stagnant swamp water, that is a lack of care.Additionally, I played the course today, and can tell you first hand that the pin locations had not been changed in at least 3 days. Again a lack of care.Simply put, for those that made it this far, I hate blowing up other courses, but something needs to be done with this course. It is a wonderful layout and rightfully challenging. But if no one cares about, knows how to or wants to pay to fix it, then it will go along the wayside like so many other challenging under managed courses, it will be forced to closed.

This course is in terrible shape. There are no redeeming qualities that I can mention. Its better than a drivng range. Get a discount rate and you wont feel so bad.

Needs work. Bunkers very iffy. Fairways blighted in places. Prices and pace of play very good. Usually get off without a teetime, if in a rush. Greens about 80% ok. For $20, it is what it is.

Played today. Course was in good condition. Slightly tight fairways and well groomed greens.Staff was very friendly and constantly rode around to make sure game play was kept up to pace but not too fast. Even the grounds keepers were polite and courteous when you played near them. I will definitely be back in the near future.

Things are looking good. I just played here for the first time this year and the course is liking very well. Fairways and greens are in great shape.

Just redid tiles in the bathroom to Richie for us

I want to start this review that Im not a great golfer. I just like experiences and this place has plenty to offer especially with their GolfNow rates as we played for less than $25! Everyone was Soo friendly!!!! Drinks were ample and not bank breaking. The lay out of the course is beautiful BUT.... Obviously some of the greens and fairways need some love but its winter and cheap so whos complaining!!!

Fairways need total reseeding. Could be a very nice course but needs a lot of work

Golf course itself is in very poor condition. The cart paths look more like a 4 wheeler track then anything. If you want to practice hitting from the rough no matter where you are on the course this is the place for you.

The golf course is in great shape

The newly hired chef at the club house restaurant is amazing! If youre in the area stop in for something to eat or sign up for the upcoming clam bake the second weekend in October. You wont be disappointed!

The course is still in recovery mode after it was closed for a while, but the location and rates are great. Nice range and a good 19th hole.

Great track for the money. Getting better every season

Still a work in progressBetter than I expected

Fairways were spotty and the greens were the slowest Ive ever putted on! The ball wouldnt even roll downhill!

Friendly place. Nice club house for a cold one after. Course was a little challenging. Seems the tall grass likes to eat balls. Most t boxes and greens were in bad shape. Fairways so so.Some landscaping tlc would make this place real nice

Great price for seniors. Well kept course.

Great course layout, hope owners pump in money to make it better

Friendly staff. Greens in bad shape. Good value for the money

Course is coming around staff is great and the seem to be putting g the time and money into this course its looking good

So I just started playing golf here this year and when I first played it it was rough. The owner wes and hugo both explained to me that the course is coming around and by memorial day 2015 the course should be 100% I played the day before memorial day and I absolutely loved it the greens were rolling 100x better and the fairways were looking good. The tee boxes are looking great. I read a comment that someone posted a week ago saying the the course was a dump but my experience is completely the opposite I absolutely love this course and recommend this course to anyone and everyone!

Nice course great people

New management. Not enough help, manager not helpful, he doesnt care about the bar or the regulars who made it great. Also out of food. Waited 45 minutes for our order.

Terrible experience, course is in the condition of your local backyard par 3s, terrible. My grass is cut better than this course, the pros response? You should have seen it three years ago. Many local courses are FAR superior, and dont have the negative unprofessional staff that you will meet at Patriots Glen pro shop. Crab grass everywhere, unmaintained, terrible golf course, I wouldnt golf here for 10$ a round with a free beer.

The course was horrendously unkept. The fairway consisted of long patchy grass that looked like rough. Also the proshop did not open on time so hitting the range before hand was not an option.

Great burgets at the Club House. Lots of discounts on green fees during the winter. Course maintained in spite of cold weather

Played June 2016. Same now as it was before it closed down for a few years. Rock hard greens and fairways that get pretty bare - for whatever reason, theyve never been able to grow much grass on this course.Driving range is still pretty crappy, but it at least has grass; putting green is as bad as the greens on the course (if not worse).But, the layout here is great; we deal with the bad conditions by just playing lift & place on the fairways. Its deceptively hard from the back tees. Very fast pace of play - even on weekday mornings, there are maybe only 5-10 groups out at a time.

Course is shaping up, helpful, friendly staff and great location

New ownership has raised rates 25% without bothering to change the advertised rates. I booked a tee time for 3 on Sunday 8/13 at $39. I reserved the time on Fri. 8/11. when I arrived I was charged $49.25. I showed this clown what he had for published rates on internet site and he said sorry you pay new rate. Besides that the course needs lots of work and isnt worth $30. a round.

I played here after I got a good deal on golfnow. The driving range is probably the best in the area, range balls are a good deal if you buy more than one token at a time. The course was in good not great shape, some transitions between fairway and rough/ teeboxes and fairways were a bit bare. However the greens and tee boxes where in solid shape. The hazards are well demarcated and the bunkers in great condition (something other area courses dont seem to attend to). The layout of this course is great in my opinion. The lack of randomly placed tall grass really makes the round more enjoyable. I cant comment on the bar/drink prices as I didnt make use of it. Its true the facility is just getting back on its feet and for that I give a little bit of a break on some of its weak spots because it has a ton of potential.

Wonderful! Theres a pool, which is where I spent most of the day, AND a golf course surrounding you!

This course is in awful shape (Aug 15, 2015).Tee boxes were atrocious, greens were awful, and the fairways are crabgrass and mud. We actually had to make a rule to allow a free drop on every fairway.Worst part is, the beverage girl is charging $5 a beer. Yes $5, even if you buy a 6 pack. So essentially I just paid $85 to play without a doubt the worst course in the area.Take a look at Odessa National, Back Creek, or Frog Hollow before playing here.

I find it pretty ridiculous to charge the same rate as other courses in the area when the course is in such terrible condition. Fairways with swamp areas marked off in the middle of them?? Greens that are un-puttable, and the rough is out of control. 1 or 2 feet off of the fairway and good luck finding your ball!I understand the course is being rehabilitated, and has come a long way, but I wouldnt even pay 10$ to return to such poor conditions. In addition to the poor conditions, beer is $30.00 for a six pack! The perfect one, two combination to make first timers never return. A course in poor condition followed up with a complete rip-off at the bar.

Great course for beginners. Food prices at restaurant are very reasonable!

Tall bartender dude is a Dork!!! The ladies are great!

Poor course conditions

Went to play this course for the first time and we found the tee boxes so chewed up it looked like a herd of dairy cows went through them. We were paired up with a couple of older gentlemen who were moving a bit slow but not terrible. By the 8th hole we were harassed by a marshal to pick up the pace of play. He followed us to the 9th where he said it took us 2 hours and 15 minutes to play the front nine and he was so rude we left the course at that point and will not return! Sorry the course believes that you can play nine holes in two hours--good luck getting return golfers

Course layout is good enough. The grounds, fairways and greens are struggling. Service at the clubhouse atrocious. This place will be defunct with in a year or two.

This was a mediocre course, for the price it was pretty good but the greens were very slow.

Sorry to say the course is not in good condition. I played with a buddy that got us on for free and still not worth the time. Such a shame because this was once a premier, challenging track.
