One of the three courses in close proximity to the lake. The course is challenging with narrow fairways. The driving range is small and straight uphill. Also, the turn between 9 and 10 does no swing by the clubhouse, so stock up when the beverage cart comes by.

The best course at the lake and one of the best in the state of Maryland. The course is very long with significant elevation changes and undulating greens. It is at the top of one of the mountains and several of the holes offer stunning views of the lake.
