6/7/2002 | I was invited to play in a Charity Scramble at Maple Run in Thurmont Maryland on a Friday so I called in sick (cough cough) and “sacrificed” the day to golf! I had never been to Maple Run and heard about the back nine being difficult and tight. Being a scramble, we were able to have a play on every hole, however playing your own ball, I can understand why I heard what I did. The front is farily wide open with sloping terrain and several challenging shots while the back has several 90 degree dogleg holes which can’t be short cut. Several holes will require an iron tee shot to reach the corner of the dogleg for your approach in. The greens were not the quickest I’ve played, however they were well maintained and rolled true. This is NOT a resort type course, however it was nice enough and the price is definitely right! For a nice round out in the country, try Maple Run! Lefty's Team |
