Baltimore CC
The private Baltimore Country Club, located at Five Farms, is home to two 18-hole golf courses, the highly-ranked East course and the also well-rated and pleasantly testing West course.
The East course, often called the Five Farms course, is a tree-lined parkland layout that should not disappoint, with many attractive features and several excellent holes to enjoy. Plenty of golfing challenge, a well-crafted design and usually good upkeep all contribute to the appeal of this course. This private course is generally playable only by members and their invited guests.
Private club - guests may only play if hosted by a member.
Excellent (incl a double-ended driving range).
A. W. Tillinghast designed Baltimore CC's highly acclaimed East course at Five Farms, which officially opened for play in 1926. The Club's original Roland Park course (on which the 1899 US Open was played), was closed in 1962, the same year as the West course at Five Farms opened.
Baltimore CC has hosted many top national championships including the US Open, US PGA Championship, US Women's Open, Walker Cup and US Amateur Championship (see our Tournaments section >by Venue >Baltimore CC).
