Greystone Golf Course | White Hall, MD #288

at Greystone Golf Course. Originally a private facility with the original clubhouse right behind us. This is a massive golf course. This neighbors yelling, “Fix this, please. They hit green. I hit glass. Their shots. Mine won’t pass. One sweet swing I dreamed to see. But I hit that’s just me. course was built by Joe Lee in 1997. So, this is an interesting golf course, a county course that was rescued by the county. It’s got some cool history that we’re going to walk through, and it’s one of five county courses that they own and operate. We’re going to go through the history of this course and how it ended up from a championship private facility into a municipal course. and hands down the nicest municipal course in Maryland. Arguably truly was designed to be a challenging championship private facility with elevations of 140 changes, elevation changes, and featuring a total of seven ponds and over 80 bunkers. There’s five sets of tea boxes here at Greystone Golf Club and it does make it a championship course as it is a par 72 course. Now whether you’re from the gray TE’s which is a recommended 1 to5 handicap. This course measures 6,925 yards. It’s a unique comparison to most golf courses. And there’s five par fives here at Great Stone Golf Course, which is owned and operated by Baltimore County’s Revenue Authority. Now, most of those tea boxes and greens and fairways are bent grass and all are maintained with outstanding turf management staff. And I can contest there is people throughout this golf course. But more importantly, it was extremely vibrant with flowers, at least when you come in. And throughout the course, you can see that they keep it real tight, the trees being trimmed. Everything about it was an exclusive private course. I’m wondering if they actually turn a profit here. And we’re going to talk about the prices as well because it is a little bit expensive when you compare it to other municipal courses, but you get a lot what you pay for. The hole you just saw was their signature hole in my opinion. The Tilling House hole. It was designed in memory of Tilling and his work and Joe Lee put it together. This was number 10 and it features a double dog leg concept a T. Now when you head on over to the actual practice facility, you can almost enjoy a day there itself. Total of 16 bays to hit off of that once you go out there and enjoy your round of golf throughout the tall wood trees, wetlands, and native vegetation. This blend of characteristics adds to the design because of its rarity of only having three par 3es. That is only three chances for a hole in one here and its massive par five design. This is probably not the most enjoyable round of golf. If you’re playing once a year, you’re going to beat yourself up here, I will say. But you’ll enjoy yourself because of those multiple ponds spread out the golf course. But the key here is make sure you get here early and enjoy your round. Prices are going to be a little bit expensive. We’re going to talk right into those prices. And if you’re looking at the more expensive day of the week on the weekend, yeah, you’ll spend $97 for the general public. And if you have advantage cards, you’re not saving much or anything out of the ordinary. Twilight rates drop down to about $50. So, that is nice to see. But yeah, this is an expensive round of golf. You get a lot what you pay for. I don’t think you can walk this golf course. I didn’t see anyone walking it. And the actual clubhouse itself, I assumed dated back a little bit further. It’s beautiful. It’s all brick. You could tell money was not an option when Joe was designing this course. I thought the clubhouse even dated a little bit further. The cool thing about the history of this course, it used to be an old farm. I couldn’t figure out what they actually harvest, but yes, you can see right off the bat, it almost seems like a 1920s, but the guy at least confirmed with me that the clubhouse was built right around the same time of the golf course. So, that was interesting to learn. But you could see right off the bat walking on in, there’s some cool parts. Kind of reminds me of some of those older golf courses. history that I learned is not documented online and it was from what everyone was telling me outside when I was asking a few questions about it being a private facility. Apparently, they weren’t able to turn a profit and also neighbors were causing some problems in regards to it moving forward as a private facility. I couldn’t understand that concept, but nonetheless, now it is owned and operated. It was bought by the county and it continues to be the nicest county course. I say I’ve ever been to. So hopefully get over there and play the course. That’s going to do it for us. Keep a look out for more videos to come.
