Reviews of Clifton Park Golf Course (Golf)

errol taylor

Urban golf at its finest. A well maintained municipal course. A good value

Nukem Al

Good city course

Alphonso Blackstone

Too much mud

Ian Kelch

Greens were ok, fairways were in horrid conditions. Price wasn't bad, but I can do better at Wetlands Golf Course for $3 more twilight. 18th hole had a nice view, but neighborhood kids ran onto the course and picked up our balls and carried them around with them. Granted it's a city course, but didn't feel like I was on a golf course at times with the sounds of cars, honking, and the such with roads directly next to multiple holes. Can't say I'll be back.

Fun course!

JOHN BARNES

Have been playing here for 10 years as well other city, county, and private golf courses. The fairways and greens are in great shape - greens much better than other courses. As ladies who play early in the morning, let me just say that we've beocme friends with the staff: Dianne, Bob, Joe...They treat us well and very fair - it's a very friendly course for women (never have we felt that we were treated less than the male golfers because of our gender). The food at the clubhouse is tasty - look for Karen and Glenn! Certainly a big change since Mike the pro there took over. And yes, you can finish a round in less than 4 hrs and 30 mins...if someone is slow, just pick up the phone and call Mike. They keep pace of play there.

Well maintained

Played it once in 2015. Hard to believe you're in Baltimore City when you stand in the fairway. Parking lot seemed a bit small. Course was in very good shape. Friendly staff.

Courses in excellent shape for this time of year staff is always nice great place to play

Phillip Burke

Fair, should reduce the price during the down time to encourage play

Sean Gallup

Great golf course for the price. Awesome discounts for students and vets. Course is always in spectacular condition. Pace of play is usually less than 4 hours 30 minutes. It's taken me as much as 5, as little as 3 hours 15 minutes.

BEWARE! This golf course is in the worst area possible. My dad and brother were approached and had all of their belongings and golf cart stolen. Staff at the golf course were not helpful at all. Refunded green fees do not even pay for half of the stolen items. Thankfully other golfers weren’t far behind! When I came to write this review, it appears it happened the day before as well.

Shelby Davis

Location not visible toain street.

Erle Garrett

Wonderful challenging layout course took on a lot of rain needs TLC has beautiful views

Donnell BURRELL

Challenging course need to stay on top of mowing the lawn

Mike Holt

I love they let u play only 9 holes and during peak time it's only $27 not bad at all

Wish I had more time and money for lessons. Convenient from everywhere in Baltimore.

This is my 2nd time playing Clifton park. The course is a mid-length park style course, bordered by a neighborhood and a fairly busy urban throughfare. To complete all 18 holes, you must cross several streets with varying levels of traffic. The respective nines are NOT in an out and back layout, so once you tee off, you aren't back at the clubhouse until late on the back 9. The opening hole is a long uphill shot -depending on your tees, between 400 and 500 yards. From that point, everything else is makeable. Lol. Several holes have picturesque views, either of downtown Baltimore, the outer harbor (dundalk ports and key bridge), or of the course itself. Its certainly worth whipping out the camera phone and snapping a picture or two. As a 22 handicap with an average 220 yard carry (driver), I was able to bogey most holes, so the course is not particularly difficult. However, because of the very wet winter we have had, once the ball hit, it plugged. At hole #3 I started playing "winter rules ", clean and replace. There seems to be an issue with cart theft. One way to mitigate that threat is to 1) have someone in the cart at all times, 2) dont leave anything valuable (phone, wallet, rangefinder, etc) in the cart, and 3) take the key when you leave the cart to putt or chip. It sucks, but it sucks even more to have to walk back from hole 8 if your cart is taken. You'll enjoy Clifton park if you are a longish (or very accurate) hitter. Follow the advice of the course staff and keep your valuables and cart key with you at all times. Hit 'em straight!!!

This course is in great shape for a muni.

Quinn Shanay

Clean well kept quiet area

Brajuon Da Goat

A lot of golf balls

Justin Bishop

I usually play here a lot. At the counter they were ridiculously slow, when I was told there was no tee time, I watched him skip over me and let others play. This place is normally slow anyway.

Paul Holmes

Greens have been aerated

Taahirah Matin

Love this place...family favorire

Travis Beckett

Wide open. All holes are can be pared if your second shot is on the green. Love the view of downtown.

evettta Richardson

Fun place to be

Daniel Shaffer

Not bad for some chill golf

Gregg Holland

Great

John Rickard

I love Clifton Park GC. Great staff. Friendly. Helpful. Forgiving open fairways, gorgeous greens!

Tom

GOLFERS BEWARE TEENAGE THUGS ALLOWED TO ROAM THE COURSE! Last Sunday our cart was stolen. The second occurrence that weekend. It would be helpful if management warns golfers since they will not take any preventative measures. Thanks to a frequent golfer at Clifton our clubs were recovered at a local pawn shop but NOT our personal items. This should never happen. Someone is going to get physically hurt one day. STAY ALERT YOU PLAY AT YOUR OWN RISK! NO WAY I’LL PLAY THERE AGAIN NOT EVEN A FREE ROUND!!!!!!

ChrisGregMai Adams

Great for peaceful to enjoy.

Dee Wilson

Very friendly; reasonably priced; And course in very good condition

Mike Curtis

I'm a regular at this course, but I will never be back after today. I was on 6th hole today and was approached and chased by four thug kids, one of which pulled a gun on me. Thankfully, I am safe and made it out ok. But today was my last straw. It's not worth risking your life to try and save a few bucks on a round of golf. To make matters worse, the BMGC (and course mgmt) don't seem to think there's a problem. It's gonna take someone to get hurt (or worse) for them to take real action and that's really sad.

Jerrod Jones

Golfing while Black still remains an issue on this public course. I believe diversity on the field of sports has the power to finally defeat racism. Golf is a gentlemans game, yelling down course is never appropriate. No one wants to be rushed while in play. If you want to play through, simply ask. But calling management and then hitting balls in the direction of my cart is where civility ends. After all, it's everyone's tax dollars that make it possible so that all residents can benefit from a manicured course and a relaxing outing with friends and family.

William Heid

Great golf course

David Walker

Very nice looking place

Dennis Sawyer

Caribbean day.

Kim Thomas

Nice scenery

Rob Bostick

Very well maintained city course with great hole variations. Forces you to use your whole bag. Me like!

Theo Kuczarski

This course is, by a wide margin, my favorite track in and around Baltimore City. It is pretty humbling to play on the former estate of Johns Hopkins. The greens are always in excellent shape due to the mushroom soil that Johns Hopkins used to build his farm. The staff is very friendly and the pace of play is FAST! The course sets up well for my game - short and open, but there are some tricky holes that make you think. For the price (typically around $35 with a cart), this is the best value you will find in Maryland. Highly recommend!

Terri Speas

Its nice

George Hammerbacher III

I absolutely love how calm this place is. My friends and I always find ourselves here whenever we want to play golf. The size of the golf course is really reasonable as well as the services you can get here. The place is just amazing.

Rachael Evans

Great show

Emmanuel Price

Great greens .

Emma Wilson

Was just chilling with my husband talking

Greens are in excellent shape. Excellent price for twilight.

The Clifton Park Golf Course, built in 1915, is the first public golf course in Baltimore. Hole #1, directly adjacent to the Clifton Mansion provides a starting point for a panoramic journey through new and old Baltimore. From the first green, players can look south to the city skyline and Clifton Tower. You can imagine Johns Hopkins himself standing in the tower with his telescope, searching the horizon for one of his many merchant ships. With any luck, he could discern his personal flag from the others, hop in a carriage down to the harbor, and greet the captain, personally. To the distant east is the silhouette of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. A few blocks away, Baltimore City College High School (est. 1839 is perched on high; the “Castle on the Hill”. The golf course has beautifully maintained greens, well manicured fairways, and a delightful layout. Convenient, value priced and PGA managed, Clifton Park is a perfect answer to today’s fast paced, time-restricted lifestyle. It is an ideal natural resource, adding charm and value to the neighborhood; ecologically, socially, economically, and psychologically. mmdreyer,pga, head golf professional Clifton Park Golf Course 1915-2015

Boyd Newlin

Best value in the city

james chadwick

No balls

Kendell Powell

Service is a plus but overall its not that great

Miquil Diggs

Nice clean

Malia Byer

I didn't go there so I dont think I can judge

Loris Bryden

I enjoy my time there.

Alex Gruzs

Horrible course. Safer to walk than risk flipping out of the cart on the paths because of all the pot holes. Save the money and go a few more miles to a better neighborhood and nice course. Staff is also sketchy as well as neighborhood.

Rob Levendosky

Great views of downtown Baltimore from high on the hill. Good prices for a fun, forgiving tract with some very cool holes.

Kimberly Maxwell

Playground is unsafe and destroyed...the view and track is gorgeous

Ryou Bakura

It's ok but I don't like the golf course.

Vonnie Kane

Beautiful

Tyrone Brown.

Nice place to play

Security & Investigations

One of the secret gems. Always an enjoyable round with fun par 3's

Rena Jordan

Clean but not in a good area

Charles Holmes

Eye sore

Larry Mitchell

Pleasant. Hadn't played there in several years. Good public facility to learn on. A variety of shot conditions to experience. Hilly, rolling terrain with plenty of trees and obstacles. Course management is vital to a great round. Cart paths leave much to be desired. It appears that the majority of the maintenance is focused on the greens. Things in need of repair 10 years ago still need attention.

Aaron Hatemiami

Challenging golf course, but in an unsafe neighborhood. The group in front of us had their golf cart stolen, and staff didn't seem to think this was a problem... Sadly, I won't be back.

Andrew Jackson

Very nice golf course

Sherrell Savage

Great place for family outdoor activities.

Edward Huett

Best city golf course. Have been playing for years. Everyone you talk to while golfing at different clubs agree Clifton is a great course

Regina Lemmon

It's a good place to take ur family or just the kidz, u can even go alone n either sit in ur vehicle or get out n read a book or watch the golfers play or go to the gazebo n just watch the views

Yolonda Jenkins

the city could do more Clifton park, they need to fix it like they did patterson.

Kim Buchanan

Hime

Jesse Collins

I've been playing Clifton for a few years now and it's in the best shape I've ever seen. The greens were great as always but I was stunned by how nice the fairways set up. If you can look past the neighborhood it's probably the best value close to the city.

Jake Lloyd

Great city course

James Wojtanik

Support your local muni. Greens are pure, not speedy but surprisingly well cared for. Not many cuts in the rough/fringe and fairly wide open - very fun! Best value in the Baltimore area

Guillermo Barragan

Lugar historico. Su cancha de golf bien diseñada y agradable para jugar.

Shawn Bessick

Nice

Dion Moore

Clean

Gary B.

A great place to take my boys to learn and play golf
