Spectacular Scenery Matched by Great Golf

At Fairway Hills Golf Club you will find a pristine course, lush green fairways, several bunkers filled with the whitest of sand and exciting changes in elevation.

     Designer Ron Pritchard carved this course through the Maryland timber. He used the natural features of the site to create an unparalleled golfing adventure. This par 70 golf course plays just over 6,100 yards from the back tees. It has three par 5's and six par 3's. There are five sets of tees for players of all levels including a set called “The First Tee” for the youth participating in The First Tee Program.

     Every hole here is a great experience, according to Joan Lovelace, Head Professional and GM at Fairway Hills Golf Club. “A lot of players look at the card and think because it's short that they're going to play their all-time best round of golf and end up spending a lot of time in the woods,” said Lovelace. “It's important to hit your driver well everywhere, but particularly important here,” Lovelace added.

    Your day will begin on a straightaway par 4 that plays 351 yards from the back tees and 275 yards from the red tees. There's trees and water to the left that shouldn't come into play.

     “#1 is open from the tee with the landing area being the widest part of the fairway.  I like it when course designers cut players some slack on the #1 tee box,” said Lovelace.

     From most of the tee boxes, you'll have to be accurate. You can use a driver but less club is probably better off the tee. “Most golfers get on a short golf course and know they should hit more three woods and three irons from the tee, but end up hitting driver all day and that works out well if you're hitting it straight, but if you're not… it can be a long day!” Lovelace continued.

     The front nine ends with a par three, 175 yards from the back and 100 from the front that requires a solid approach to a sloping green that doesn't leave too many easy birdie putts.

    #18 is a 522 from the back and 413 yard par five from the front par five that offers the chance for a “birdie” coming home.

    “This is a fun finishing hole. This is a birdie hole and everyone has dreams of making birdie on the final hole to win a major. You won't win a major here, but maybe you'll make a bird to beat a few of your friends which is pretty fun too,” said Lovelace.   
      
Message from the PGA and LPGA Head Golf Professional, Joan Lovelace:
    “This is a straightforward golf course. It's there in front of you, but that doesn't mean it's easy. We're most proud of the course conditioning - the fairways and greens are flawless. Our Superintendent deserves a lot of credit. He and his crew do an incredible job of keeping the tees well groomed, the fairways are perfect and the greens are super sweet. This is a beautiful golf course and I'm confident you're going to love it.”
