THE TIMBERS AT TROY

The rolling Maryland piedmont terrain delivers a surprisingly thoughtful routing that maximizes elevation changes most architects only dream about in this region. Strategic bunkering forces genuine decision-making on approach shots, particularly where the course tumbles through wooded ravines that swallow anything slightly offline. What separates this daily-fee gem from the pack is how seamlessly it integrates mature hardwoods into play without resorting to the claustrophobic tree-lined corridors that plague too many Mid-Atlantic layouts.
