This traditional course was built on rolling terrain, so expect many uphill and downhill lies. The fairways are narrow and water hazards come into play on a few holes.

| You have got to be kidding me. If you like playing on a baseball field, you'll like playing here. The fairways looks like my grandma's back yard and the greens, well I call them browns. This course really needs a lot more work and it's evident from the price that they charge you (about $9-$14 tops). Do not get a cart because you will probably flip it over going over all the rocks. If you're trying to save money, then this is for you but it can definately throw off your game. I can drive the ball about 340 yard out here but about 275-280 on a well maintained course. Your ball never stops rolling, but it kills your appoach shots. |

Gunpowder golf, Aug 05, 2005 |

| The best part about the course is it has character and once you play here u will play other courses with ease. Ease meaning that you will be able to get a decent lie at other courses since the rough is quite litterly rough with all of the rocks and the fairway looks like a well mainted hiking trail. PLaying here also gives you the oppertunity to practice some shots in situations that you would normally not face, such as hitting out of a giant dirt pile in the middle of a fairway or chipping from behind a sprinkeler. And when your buddy coughes when you try to putt on a nice course you will be able to block it out since normally there the green is being mowed right behind you and they dont stop during your back swing.A word to the wise before you putt though, the big hole in the middle of the green, although it is usally more of a brown color with ruts and just dead grass, is a sprinkler not the actual hole. If you want a good adventure course and don't mind having to bring a hammer to put your tee into the ground this just might be a course for you. |

 The Blue colar golf courst, Dec 12, 2004 |

| Nowhere! In the Washington or Baltimore area will you find a greater bunch of fine "Blue Colar" Golfer that play the game, as it is played in Ireland or Scotland than at the Gunpowder Golf course. I know, because I have played Ireland the "Royal County Down", and Grand daddy of all the Course at "St. Andrews". Gun powder has the same Golf Spirit.

Great value for the money, Mar 12, 2004 |
| reviewer: Roger Peace

| The condition of the course has improved over the years although it is not five star. It is however the best value for the money and I play it often. You will find you can use every club in your bag and has a challenging layout. It is a great place for seniors who are on a fixed income and affordable for people who are income challanged like myself. If you are not a golf snob and like to have fun, this is the place. |
