1106.0. "Courses in Baltimore area?" by HOLL1::JAMES () Thu Nov 01 1990 07:20

Any suggestions on courses in the Baltimore area?  I'll be there for one day
with nothing to do, so I would be willing to drive maybe a 100 miles or so.
Money is no object.

Thanks,

Rick

1106.1I KNOW This One is Great !ASABET::VARLEYThu Nov 01 1990 09:468
     I don't have any contacts there, but if you've got any business
    contacts or golf professional pals, have 'em give the Country Club of
    Baltimore a call to get you on their "Five Farms" course. It's an old
    Tillinghast coursethat is probably one of the best in the U.S. I
    imagine if you do get on without a member (forget weekends) it'll run
    you $100, or around $65 with a member.

1106.25 Farms if you canDPDMAI::VENEZIOMY other car is a GOLFCARTMon Nov 05 1990 15:315
    If your looking for a Muny. Try Pine Ridge. One of the best anywhere. I
    think it may be in Towson. 
    Trust Jack and play Five Farms if you can, but it may not be easy.

    If this isnt' too late, contact Al Hall in our landover office.  He is
    a member of the Prince Georges Country Club.  Great course if you can
    get on.

1106.4Another trip to BaltimoreSUBSJF::LANDRIGANMon Feb 08 1993 12:2112
Had to do a search to find it, but I figured someone had made a trip once before
to Baltimore :-).

A bunch of rotisserie guys in DEC are planning a golf outing in the summer to
the Baltimore area (to be combined with a couple games at Cambden Yards).  

1. Anyone in the area interested in joining us?  We could use a good guide.

2. Anyone who might have advice on where to play?

thx,

    I don't know what your guidelines are, or if you have any connections
    at Private clubs. If you do, the "Five Farms" course at Baltimore C.C.
    is a Tillinghast masterpiece. 
    
     If you can travel to the D.C. area there are others, like TPC at
    Avenel, that you might be able to get on. Don't know anything about
    Publinx in that area.

1106.6pennant race and 36 holes -- can't wait!!!FREE::GOGUENSportsCenter: best � hour on TV!Fri Aug 13 1993 15:0816
    Brian (.4) and I are among a small group that will be golfing (and
    watching Oriole) games late next month.  Brian has been TFSO'd, so I'm
    taking over his search for internal course recommendations..  :)
    
    .2 talks of Pine Ridge in Towson (AAA book says Lutherville) -- that
    was one on his list to get opinions on.  Others that he's investigating
    are Diamond Ridge in Woodlawn and Mt. Pleasant within the city limits. 
    I also see Forest Park Golf Course in the AAA book.
    
    We're only playing two days, so at this point, we'll likely go with
    Pine Ridge and one other, based on any other opinions -- anybody
    familiar with one of these other courses??
    
    Thanks......

1106.7you want golf in b'more, we got itCSLALL::WEWINGFri Aug 13 1993 16:5840
    my brother lives in baltimore.
    contact me via vaxmial (cslall::wewing) and i can probably
    put you in touch with him.  he could run down all the courses
    in the MD, PA, VA area for you as he plays in a traveling
    league.
    
    i've played pine ridge before.  it is a good course.
    
    i've played mt. pleasant (actually a golf course within
    the city).  it is sort of like building a golf course on
    the boston common.
    
    i have a diamond ridge score card in front of me.
    it is wide open and greens fees are reasonable.
    par is 70, 
         	blue	white	red
    rating      71	70.2	73.2
    slope       120	119	123
    
    you can make tee times in advance.   it is in baltimore county and
    the number is 410 944-6607
    
    we also played geneva farms golf club in Street, MD 410 893-1114
    geneva farms is in a housing development that didn't sell that
    well so it is a relatively new course.  it is an hour northwest
    of b'more.   worth the drive.
    
          		blue	white	red
    rating              71.4	69.5	71.4
    slope		128	121	116
    
    also played oakmont green in Hempstead, MD 410 374-1500
    again, an hour or two north of b'more, also in a planned housing
    development.   i don't think this one was worth the drive.
