Over the river and through the woods, right before you get to grandma’s house in Poolesville Maryland is the long stretched layout of the Poolesville Golf Course. A 20-minute drive from the capital beltway, the Poolesville Golf Course offers some of the most generous and unforgiving long golf play in the area.

The 262-acre course is one of the longest public courses in the County with a mix of long Par 4s, Par 5s and just a couple of mixed in Par 3s to make for an interesting round.

Signature Hole: The Number 2 hole is this courses signature, which is a 605-yard, par 5, featuring two sizeable fairway bunkers waiting for any errant tee shot. The green is bunkered on the sides, which adds a definite challenge to any chip attempt.

Amigos favorite Hole: The hole we liked the best was a par 3, number 8. The tee shot is over a medium sized pond onto a small lading area of fairway then on to the green.

  The Amigos luck was split this day with one amigo teeing off into the drink and the other Amigo nailing his tee shot within a birdie distance putt away from the hole. Unlike the other holes this day the one lone lucky amigo was able to hit the birdie shot which made this day of other longer less forgiving holes even more memorable.
