Compass Pointe is not bad. The problem is the weekend rates they charge are for a pristine course, but they provide an average product. Greens are ALWAYS very dimpled by ball marks. Tee boxes are hit or miss. Bermuda grass fairways are usually fried every summer. And the course overall has pretty poor drainage. Play compass on a weekday afternoon and youll get your moneys worth. If you go on a weekend, then prepare to be underwhelmed. Timbers is in much better condition and costs the same. Waverly is better than both and costs about 10 bucks more per person. Bulle Rock is in much better condition and is cheaper. Pretty much any course out west or Montgomery County course are in better shape and the same price or cheaper. For the amount of options you have to golf in Maryland, I would recommend spending your weekend elsewhere and saving this one for a weekday.

Beautiful course. Always in top condition. Very challenging.

Beautiful course in great condition. The scenery this time of year is perfect and the bugs are gone.

I could not believe how terrible the greens were today. They have been aerated and there was hardly any grass but tons of sand . I shoot on the green n you see the sand pop up .You could not even putt cause the ball bounced the entire time . Wish I knew this before playing cause I would taking my money elsewhere . We have been having some really bad storms over the past couple days the couse was absolutely just soaked. All the tee boxes ALL THE TEE BOXES were soaked as well. Couldn’t find a dry spot anywhere .

Greatly improved playing conditions. The Bermuda fairways play much better. Nice variety of holes. Staff in the pro shop and the starters were very friendly. They have a halfway house/snack bar and a smallish pro shop. Good sized range.

Very good course conditions for late November.

Very disappointing to see how down hill this course has gone. Greens were in terrible shape, Fairways needed work, driving range closed and practice green was rough. The worst part of it was the large number of staff was more concerned about overkill covid regulations, rather than providing a pleasant experience for golfers.

I’ve played the courses here countless times over my years living in the area. Challenging course with a good layout. Pro shop staff is always kind. However, given the price you pay, it is never in good condition. There are un-repaired ball marks everywhere. Fairways have gotten better with drainage over the years which is good. I really think they just don’t have enough resources to manage 36 holes. Regardless, given the pandemic environment, it’s a good way to socially distance (even with several confirmed cases of COVID in their staff).My opinion on the course changed when I played this weekend and encountered Compass’ beverage cart employee, Cindy. She was rude, uncivil, and angry.... a shocking attitude to have when the majority of your compensation is generated through tips. I’m hoping she was just having a bad day, otherwise I’m not sure how she got through the interview process. If Compass got rid of her and kept the course in better shape I’d come back more often.

Where do I begin.Greens were in awful shape.Fairways were swamps in some areas.Bunkers were more like ponds.Grounds crew were a constant distraction. We played the first 9 holes with lawn mowers and blowers constantly around us, Whoever I spoke to in the pro shop was rude and unwilling to help.Cart paths were in terrible shape.We were told Cart Path Only but every other player I saw were all over the course/ lack of rule enforcement.Thankfully won’t be taking my business here again.

Course is in excellent shape. Theyre doing a real fine job with everything amidst the virus

This place is an absolute goat pasture. Nothing is kept up nice and the staff is arrogant and condescending. The green are inconsistent at best and the rough is like concrete. This course is way way over priced for the value.

Good service from people around the coarseAlways an enjoyable golf course to play onFood and drinks, bathroom needs handled properly with covert19 still a concern with the publicThank you for being open

Very nice location. Multiple courses (north, south, east and west... Thus the name compass pointe) pretty hard course for a novice like myself. Helpful staff and well equipped store. Decent food as well.

Always enjoy playing the North/East course the greens had just been areated so they were a little tough to play but overall still a great place

Excellent the course is in top-notch shape

Greens in rough shape. Mask policy is ridiculous. Dont think Ill be back anytime soon.

North and Northeast greens aerated was not told before tee off would have played somewhere else not worth the cost

Beautiful course.

It was a beautiful day at Compass Pointe. The course was good shape and the pace of play was very good! Staff was friendly and nice.

Staff was very helpful with everything! I left my putter at home and they let me borrow one for free. They waited for us to finish until 8:40 and it closes at 8 it was very nice of them.

I played here on January 5, 2020 and the course was in very poor condition. After a rain the previous day, the course was soaked. Greens looked like the moon from all the craters stemming from ball marks. Greens are the speed of fringe on a normal course.The layout of the course and sightlines are beautiful--despite being extremely challenging. I probably wont return, because of the subpar range balls and the fact i hate hitting off mats, but this could be a nice course with proper care.I didnt expect a spring time Augusta, but having 10 ball marks in my line en route to the hole on a 15 footer, makes for a poor experience.

Very enjoyable. Thanks

When a golf ball hits your windshield(which regularly occurs) they tell you they’re not responsible even though they don’t have netting and tee off next to the road. Low rent golf course. Spend your money where you’re respected.

Beautiful course. Attended a tournament there for a worthy cause. Organized and efficient. Carts were gas so that was different, but not bad. So used to electric. Would have liked to have GPS maps in the cars, but overall a great time and challenging course.

Nice Track 2 18 hole courses friendly staff

Beautiful Course ! Great Staff !

Good shape for the middle of a very harsh winter. I played here last Thursday afternoon. As always the staff are friendly and attentive. The practice area at this course is stellar!!! A hidden gem which may be the best in the immediate area! Great putt and chipping area, plenty of mats with ample targets and a practice bunker left of the range. My round was cart path only which was expected after heavy overnight rain. Still didnt stop me from enjoying the 60°+ day in the middle of February. The course was in very good shape. Drained very well! The greens and fairways are surviving the winter better than expected. The bunkers were par for most courses in the area after a overnight mid winter rain storm. I really like how the grounds crew are continuing to cut back growth while addressing and eliminating many hazard areas. This will eventually speed up play and lower my handicap. Win/win! It was a pleasant experience overall and cannot wait for spring!

Tee box and fairways were very nice. Greens were horrible, they recently seedes greens. They should let you know and give a reduced rate.

Great time golfing today. North-East course was in really good condition.

Great staff, carts recently upgraded and the grounds crew has done a great job transitioning the course. Pricing is right

Compass charged me for a round that they say I no showed for when I did in fact call them and cancel. They didn’t even notify me of this until over a month later. This is the same place that charged me club rental fees for women’s clubs a week prior. The course has potential to be good but the management sucks and the conditions always suck.

Courses are in very good condition. Some people still need to replace divots and repair ball marks. All in all very enjoyable.

Extremely rude Marshall named bill. Starting yelling and being extremely rude when he approached us during play. Had he allowed me to finish what I was saying and maybe investigate the issue he would have found out why our group was slow because the group ahead constantly walked and didnt use their carts properly. So our group was right behind them and kept getting hung up because of it. . He chose to cut me off from talking and berate me.

Early spring golf, conditions were great. staff was nice and accommodating. def will return.

First time here and it was a nice challenging course. Some fairways needed some work but overall the course is pretty well maintained. Will definitely be back to play again!

Love that they offer 36 holes. Course this year is in great shape. Always see wildlife, deer & resident Eagle. Staff are always friendly. Only downside, when booking on-line for your tee time, not always accurate and even book when they have a tournament going on. This has happened twice this year and after driving all the way to get there, have had to turn around and leave

Play here regularly and usually enjoy it just fine. People are friendly and the courses are generally in decent shape. Good value overall.

Good golf course. Well kept

Played a month ago. Hope the greens have improved and there is some real grass in the fairways by now.

Greens and fairways not in great shape. Only good for those who dont play really well.

Reasonably priced, good for beginners and those wanting a change. Staff is friendly.

Course is a great play for the money. Fairways were in great shape. Greens were nice, not the fastest though (not a negative, just is what it is). Staff that I encountered were extremely friendly. I will definitely be playing there again and recommend that anyone can as well. For reference, my handicap is a 7.

Way too overcrowded on course, two group wait at every tee while it was 96 degrees. The course is beautiful and in great shape, however, the overcrowding ruined the experience.

Driving range is nice. Not matted, but has the option. Use nice condition white balls, no painted stripes. Great for club cleaning afterwards. Been going to other for years. Very happy to find this one. Will be back. Course looks great. Very excited to try it! Will be back

Love playing this course when I come here

I played here yesterday June 28 2016. I found the course, staff and price to be fantastic. Everyone out there was friendly, the other golfers let me play through since I was a single. Really great experience. If you are a nice person who understands golf etiquette please come out and play this course. If you are a jackass please go play somewhere else. I played the North and the East course. The north was very open, a lot of bunkers and a few hazards here and there. Very scoreable. The east on the other hand was very difficult, tight fairways, guarded greens and long from the tips. I dont know if it was the heat or my brain but I fell apart after the 14 hole. Very mentally challenging. Great course though, love my experience I will def be back.

This is my home course ! I find it very hard to go anywhere else it makes you feel good when you can call and 8 out of ten times and they recognize your voice. LOVE THIS COURSE!!! Mike keep up the good work see ya this weekend

Nice course. Beautiful view.

Just finished playing Compass Pointe. South and West Courses (10/12/15). The courses are in great shape and pace of play was excellent (4 hours). Really interesting and challenging (especially the West Course). The fairways are mostly lush and the greens and well maintained. For $38 bucks through their website, I think this is the best golf deal in the Baltimore/DC area.

Open, feels different that much of the surrounding area.

Played it once in 2015 just to see if it was a better experience. First time back in years. I thought the course was in rough shape. One of the bunkers looked destroyed. Some forced carries seemed ill-placed for me. Didnt like the greens - felt like putting was a bit of a random exercise. Staff was friendly. I really want to like this course more but with limited time to play golf I have so many options that work better for me.

I am a regular at this golf course. I love it here. The staff is amazing however, after an experience I had recently, I will not be returning to this course. I have noticed multiple times, the same staff member being under the influence of something. The first few times I thought she was under the influence of alcohol until I witnessed her consuming drugs in the bathroom. This is very unprofessional. I will be contacting the appropriate authorities to have this matter handled correctly.

Nice club house. The course sponsored a political candidate fund raiser. It did a superb jon.

Its April and perfect golf weather. The South and West 9s are not in terrible shape but not good shape either. Very little drinking water found on the course and no beverage cart. No bathrooms to be found except at the clubhouse. And $3.50 for a large soda - $4 with a tip. yikes! One day soon Ill try the North and East 9s. I wish others who rate Compass Pointe would note which 9s they played.

It was a really good course. Cant wait to go back.

This is my home course. 2017 I havent played near what I normally do. The course is a local muni that has friendly people and good facilities for the price. Some holes need work but the course has been bringing up the quality of the grass and you can see improvements on the east and south courses.

Easy going attitude.

Course was in good shape. ..staff was friendly

Just played 9 holes. Course as good as youd think this time of year. Friendly people.

Good course the southwest side is tough

Great laid back course.

Great golf course. Challenging enough for good golfers

Thank you golfers for your most recent reviews. We are excited to be converting the South tees and fairways to Bermuda grass this summer. We will also be working on some bunkers as well. Lastly we are creating a program for the rough.

Four 9 hole courses. Very challenging, but good scores can be had. Staff is very courteous and friendly. Tee time preferred, seems course is always busy.

Played north -east...East is a little rough, but all 18 greens good &speedy

Nice course always nice staff.

Wonderful course. Pleasant Staff. Fun!!!

Tough course but a great value. I love playing here

Good placeI like

Staff is friendly and helpful. The course is in sad shape. Apparently no one repairs ball marks on Greens. They are really damaged. Many fairways have significant dead spots.

Ive played here quite a bit the last few years and even have a pointe card. Not the best kept course by any means but hard to beat in value or convenience. Staff is always easy going and the place has a laid back atmosphere. No overly-strict rules / regs and other than the occasional upkeeping is kept quite well. Best yet, with 36 holes youre always able to get on without too much waiting or back-loading at holes.

What I really like about Compass Pointe is the rapport one can have with the staff when scheduling outings or even a tee time. We have scheduled several years worth of our Golf Association end of year function there and have been afforded North, East, South, & West for the event and a superior luncheon after event is over. Truly, we were blessed when CP management welcomed our yearly event and they allowed Wendy to handle our food services.

Played the North/East course today for first time and have to say since moving here from Kentucky this (so far) is the course Ive been looking for. This reminds more of the courses Im used to playing in KY. Staff were friendly, fairways and greens in good shape. Excited to go back as soon as I can to play the South/West course. As far as a negative I would say not thrilled to learn about switching to Bermuda grass in the fairways. Some courses in Ky do this as well and it stays dormant too much of the year. I am a fan of bentgrass for this climate and would like to see it stay that way but this wont keep me away, love the layout. Definitely recommend and really enjoyed my day. Just for reference around a 7 handicap.

Nice place has batting cage is also very good.

Decent condition

Cant find a thing wrong. Its amazing.

Nice off the beaten track

Very nice golf course and challenging, if youre not a very active golfer.

I played here on 24 Dec 13. The course was in decent condition for the time of year. The fairways and greens were still green, the only problem was the bunkers which were basically mini swimming pools. The staff was very friendly.

A pretty forgiving course that is usually in good/fair condition. The staff is pretty friendly and the rates are reasonable.

The course could be one of the finest around if they took care of it. The greens on East are under repair. The bunkers are in bad shape and they were pumping the water out of them into the fairways(swamp). Not worth the $60 greens fee in those conditions.

Great course. First round of golf ever played here

I dont know they decided to build a course that had so many sand traps with no intention of keeping them up. I have played here 1 or 2 times/year for 10 years and the sand traps are really sad. I asked the starter about this and he got a little pissy with me about how much it cost to maintain sand traps. See my original sentence in this review.Besides the sand traps, the course is harder than your standard muni. You can add 5-10 stokes to your game here. I dont know why I play here. You are much better off making the ride up to Baltimore County golf courses.

Great service good food nice golf course

I had a reservation for 4 people. 3/4 were 16. They didnt let us ride carts and they told us we had to walk 18 holes. Rain was scheduled for that day too. I hate Compass Point. Pat was the guy at the desk.

My scores would be higher if the prices were less. This is a muni course (AA County), that is charging between 55 and 75, depending on which 18 you play. There are 2 18 hold courses. The course itself is maintained well, but this is a 45 to 55 course. They run price specials sometimes, so its worth it to sign up for the email alerts, but the course is not worth the money at full price.

Played The North/East Course on 9/15/2013 under deplorable conditions. The bunkers were all washed out, The fairways, especially on the East nine, were mostly dirt and the greens were average at best. We teed off at 8:00AM and finished at 2:10PM. I do not see how this facility is going to remain open much longer under these conditions. It is really quite depressing.

Located in an amazing neighborhood.

I golf here at compass Pointe, on the womens golf league. The staff really is helpful, they always treat us with the utmost respect.

Played in two turnaments this week and had a great time and the service was great. Wendy Rohls was of great help with everything . we needed.

Corey is great!!

I live less than 15 minutes from Compass Pointe, but would rather drive an hour to play elsewhere.

36 hole golf facility with a large driving range and practice greens close to the clubhouse. Greens are usually in good shape but rough is very inconsistent.

Nice course

Saw this when landing in Baltimore

Some fairways needed work

Home sweet home

Good layout

Great course challenging

Good day to play golf.
