WINTERS RUN GOLF CLUB

The Gunpowder River valley provides a dramatic backdrop for this rolling Maryland layout, where elevation changes of 150 feet create natural amphitheaters around several greens. Water comes into play on half the holes, but it's the severe undulations on the bentgrass putting surfaces that separate good rounds from great ones here. The par-4 16th epitomizes the design philosophy—a downhill dogleg that tempts aggressive lines over wetlands, rewarding bold play while punishing the meek.
