little bennett golf course

The course is in great shape, although the greens have just been airated. Pace of play has been an issue but on Monday it was no problem. Grill offers tasty quick food. Spectacular views of the hills of Clarksburg. Well worth the drive from DC or Bethesda. Friendly folks too.

We travelled to our annual charity golf tournament that we've held at the Little Bennett Golf course for the past eight years. The course has always been in immaculate condition and this year was no exception. The staff in the pro shop, the grill, and the course rangers were kind, courteous and so helpful that our group of 72 golfers (I use that term loosely) felt so welcome and wouldn't even consider changing our annual venue for the tournament. Bravo to all the staff at Little Bennett, you're the best!!!

Not only is Little Bennett a very fine golf course, it also an absolute steal! As seniors, we paid 35 bucks for our 10:30 weekday tee time and got not only 18 holes of top quality golf, but a snack for breakfast and a "free" lunch sandwich and drink. Not sure how the county manages to do this, but you shouldn't miss out on the deal!

We had the best time ,it is a beautiful golf course and we got a great package That included breakfast,lunch golf art,18 hole and a golf glove for $42

This is a nice course but the Marshall does not make sure that the course is played in regulation. We teed off at 10:30 and finished at 3:30. It was painful!!!

Let's start with the positive. The setting is beautiful. The layout is fantastic, with a wonderful variety of holes. And weekday "member for a day" specials including breakfast and lunch make this a good value if you just want to get out and play.But things are different this year at Little Bennett. First, nearly half the greens are in awful shape; a combination of dirt and shaggy grass. When I complained about the conditions of the greens, they tried to tell me that all the courses in the area had suffered from a hot summer, but it's just not true. I've played 8-10 other local courses and only one other had problems with its greens, and not nearly this bad.Second issue is that they've swapped the front and back nines. In the past, the first few holes were great warmup holes, while the 18th was a classic risk/reward hole. Now the first hole starts you off with an intimidating shot over a ravine, into an uphill slope on a long par 5. And the new 18th has such a short tee shot, it takes driver out of your hands.Finally, while they've posted signs asking golfers to play the course in 4.5 hours, there's no enforcement. On a Monday morning, we sat behind other groups in a 5 hour round.I hope that Little Bennett can fix its problems and come back strong year. It could be a great course. But for this year, stay away.
