Has anyone played here? Five Farms is in the final of the Maryland State Team Matches and we play them on Saturday. I saw a scorecard and the four par 3s were 209, 223, 220, and 210. Sounds like some good variety to me . To set the record straight, I do not know if each hole goes in different directons or not so I may be a little harsh, but it would be nice to hit something other than a 4 or 5 iron on a par 3.

 You mean 3 or 4 wood don't you?

Mayday,

You obviously haven't played with Jim, AKA Mr. Hurricane

I've played there, back in 2000 or 2001.  The day I played was close to 100 degrees out, but dry and windy, and the area was in such a drought that everything was brown and running real hard.  400 yard holes were nothing but a 3-wood and a chip.  I don't remember the course too well, as it wasn't anything too special, but I do remember the front 9 as wide open and the back as a mix of wide open and tree-lined holes.  The 18th (or 9th?) is a reachable par 5 that I remember being fun, as it plays uphill to a shelf green.  The ground was so hard when I played that if you didn't make the green, the ball could roll back down the hill pretty far!

Thanks Brad, that is helpful.
