HAGERSTOWN- One of the most well known municipal golf courses in the area, Black Rock Golf Course, has announced that the County and their crews will be undertaking several improvement projects this winter to enhance course conditions, safety, and overall player experience.
Over time, a number of trees have begun to impact turfgrass health by limiting essential sunlight and airflow. Several dead or diseased trees that pose safety concerns will also be removed. This work is important for protecting critical course infrastructure including cart paths, bunkers, irrigation heads, and transmission lines and will help ensure safe, high-quality playing conditions for years to come.
Throughout the winter, selected bunkers will be rehabilitated or modified. Improvements will include upgraded drainage, new bunker sand, and adjustments to green surrounds and sizing to enhance playability, consistency, and course conditions.
Additionally, construction will begin this winter on a new golf training center and driving range. This major privately funded project represents a significant investment in the future of the facility and will support expanded programming, training opportunities, and recreational offerings for the community. We appreciate the community’s support in constructing this facility.
