| Review by: Charles J. Smith (aka Chuck Smith) |
I played this golf course for many years. The layout is challenging, yet (on a really good day) it is possible to bring the course to "its knees." (I had a hole-in-one on Hole Number 2 on August 25, 1979, followed by a birdie on the difficult number 4 hole. My final score was 74. [Excuse my bragging but I am very proud of that accomplishment.]
The greens are, for the most part, true for the putt. The holes are cut in properly. The sand compositon is consistent.
There are some severe challenges on the course, but with experience you will learn how to master them.
I live in Florida now but I often "reminisce and brag" about Sparrows Point Country Club as being one of the finest I ever played. John McCloskey, the golf professional, is a "true" professional and is very attentive. He is also very skilled as a golf teacher.
I urge you to try the course. If you like it as much as I always did, I challenge you to resist joining the Club. If you give in to your deepest desires and join SPCC, you will have a lifetime of enjoyment and a place you can proudly "show off" to your friends. |
