Cross Creek Golf Club will get the attention of golfers of all skill levels right from the start. The par 5 first requires a precise drive over water with trees lining the remainder of the hole. The par 70, Ault, Clark & Associates design embraces the natural forested landscape while carving out fairways that will make accuracy and shot making a premium. On the back nine the remnants of an old gravel quarry afforded many unique opportunities to forge spectacular holes amid the weathered vertical sand backs.

The two most visually striking holes are found on the back and once a golfer reaches the crest of the par 5, 13th, a panorama unlike any other in the Washington area unfolds. “Man and Mother Nature have given us an unbelievable opportunity to create something that looks like the high country of Colorado, versus the low lands of Maryland,” says Clark.

This championship course and residential community is delicately laid out to provide a balanced interaction with numerous creeks, ponds and spirited elevation changes. With bentgrass tees, fairways and greens Cross Creek Golf Club is a “must play” for golfers in the Mid-Atlantic/ Washington DC region.

Tight and quirky. Agree with kenjab. Fun to play now and then, but not as a steady diet.

I played on a weekday afternoon, $29 incl cart, good deal. I think we were the only foursome on the course, we had to let a twosome and a single play through, so pace was no problem.

Course is tight and tough, no doubt. Any thing that is tailing away from the fairway is in danger of going into a hazard. I played the "Creekside" (blue) tees, but they were up on most holes, which you'd think would make it easier but it actually brought a lot more trouble into play. Course is overall pretty dry and looks a little unkempt in places, but greens are still green and smooth.

I like the course and the challenge, but I couldn't play here all the time.
