June 19, 2025…read more Chesapeake Hills Golf Course - Best Shape I've Ever Seen It In It's been just over a year since my last review, and I've only played once since the new clubhouse was completed -- but wow, what a difference that upgrade has made! The clubhouse looks great inside and has a lot more merchandise than I've ever seen there before. I haven't tried the food yet, but I've heard it's pretty good. Today, I played with my son -- our first round together in a few years -- and it was a very reasonable $90 for both of us (with cart for 18 holes). I'd heard from others that the course was starting to look really nice again, and they weren't wrong. As we pulled up to the first tee, I noticed the putting green on the left was in the best condition I've ever seen it. I told my son right away -- you can tell they've really been working hard to turn this place around. The tee boxes and fairways were well-cut and in excellent shape. After a few holes, I started to realize just how much improvement has been made. There used to be a lot of bare dirt or gravel patches throughout the course, but now most of those areas have healthy grass growing. The greens were smooth and well-trimmed, and putts rolled nicely. I especially noticed the 2nd hole (par 3 over water) -- the area just past the water used to be rough and patchy, but now it's fully filled in with lush grass.

So it's been a while since I wrote the original review. After that, I pretty much tried to never…read moreplay there for several reasons. Fortunately, things have changed for the better, but not everything. So lets start with the things that still need to be addressed. First one is the people working there. They seem pretty unhappy with life and it shows. Often they seen disgruntled and you're annoying them to ask for anything. The next one, is hole 15. That hole just needs to be revamped, it sucks. Finally, the driving range is garbage. The grass is often missing and its tough to often find some actual grass to hit off of. I would recommend that they put hitting mats up top and close the grass part to rejuvenate them on a regular basis. also, it doesn't help when they tell you not to hit drivers. I mean come on, that's the most fun part of hitting the range, blasting bombs with the driver. Now, lets talk about what's gotten better. right off the bat, you'll notice the new clubhouse. its nice and has a nice external relaxation area. Well done Calvert County. To go along with the clubhouse is the repaving of the parking lot, which may not seem like much, but it really makes the whole picture look that much better. The conditions at the course have gotten much better. Are there still some areas for improvement, yes (talking to you guy that dumps the clippings around the greens or in areas that are in plain sight) but for the most part they are good. the greens were in great shape, the fairways were good, and the roughs were not just all weeds as I experienced previously. The biggest thing that surprised me were the on course personnel. For the first time ever, i actually say a refreshments cart driving around. I have been going here since the 1980's when I used to work there, and in all that time, I NEVER saw a refreshments cart. Also, there was a starter AND a marshal driving around, which I have never seen as well. So well done CHGC, in upping your game. Please try and keep it going!!

White Plains Regional Park…read more This review is so relevant and, given that it appears to be one of the few reviews, it's long overdue! The White Palins Regional (public) Park is nestled in Saint Charles Maryland, at the corner of Billingsley and St. Charles Pkwy.

This park offers the following: * A 9 hole golf course with putting greens, a driving range, golf carts, a pro shop with a food and snack cafe * A state of the art football and soccer field; plus additional fields. * Tennis and Pickle ball courts * Dog Park * Playgrounds and Tot lots * Softball fields * Skate Park * Trails * Plenty of parking The tennis and pickle ball players are friendly and talented. The grounds crew do a great job and often check in with park participants to ensure that they're enjoying the facilities. So, if you are a Southern Marylander, add WPRP to your leisure time to-do list. You will be happy you did. The pictures speak for themselves.

The app is easy and friendly to use and tracks your data across multiple clubs, rounds and visits. The app has different modes of free play and some more competitive game modes and is realtime. Tracking is spot on. They have 3 different size buckets of balls, small, medium and large. They have open bays and they have covered bays. The covered bays are more money but totally worth it on those hot Virginia days. Pro shop is decent. I've only purchased golf balls from them so I can't really elaborate on the pricing of their apparel/equipment. I took my daughter there when she visited from NY and she was impressed as well. A+

I signed up for four weeks of beginner golf lessons and had a pretty cool experience!…read more It was a bit challenging for me to figure out a day of the week where I would have no schedule conflicts for a consecutive 4 weeks. The vision is that each class builds upon past lessons and also introduces you to a new skill (putting, chipping, driving etc) Enrolling during the summer definitely meant that we experienced some scorching hot temps, but surprisingly there are little pockets of shade out there that would somehow make things bearable. My instructor was Phil who I tended to vibe with (probably because I grew up with coaches and can follow instruction.) He's pretty direct and could sometimes come off a little impatient, but if you understand his personality it's harmless and actually funny. Ultimately, he wants you to learn and enjoy the game and is very supportive when he witnesses your progress. It was nice to be able to stay after lessons sometimes just to hit at the range and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding area. If you're on the fence about lessons, I can attest that Play DCGolf is a great place to start!

Just finished up the classes, and feel really good about the value, and the things we learned in this beginners class. My class had four students including myself, and we learned all the basics - putting, using all the clubs, the different swings, golf course etiquette, and the basics to playing a game. We had enough instruction time, and alone time to practice in our own bays. Not needing clubs was a plus, as I hadn't committed to getting some at this point. They have disinfected loaners available to you if you need. The golf course/ driving range is nice, the instructor was a great instructor, and the classes were well structured. Thinking about taking the level 2 at some point! Highly recommend.

I was on the fence about dropping some serious money on golf lessons, but I knew that I not only…read moreneeded lessons but also needed to follow some sort of program. Ultimately it is well worth the cost. My coach Kevin D. is great. Kevin developed a plan and we worked through a lot of different swing issues. We even did a playing lesson out on the course. I love being able to come in and practice indoors when it is cold/hot outside. I have dropped 2 points off my handicap with the 15 lessons that I took. Looking forward to dropping it some more. Overall I would 100% do it again and I plan on extending my plan out when it's time. If you decide to go this route, you need to put the practice in, if you do not you will have wasted your money. You need to take what you learned in your lesson and practice it and get ready to focus on another topic at your next lesson. Thinking of cost, it is roughly the same as going to any legit PGA level golf instructor. The difference is that you have to pay it all up front at GolfTec. But the added benefit is that you get to come in and practice, using all the technology/equipment, and you do not have to pay for range balls. Final thought, I dropped some money on new golf clubs a year prior to starting at GolfTec. I wish I had taken that money and used it on these lessons first. I would have been much further along than I am now. It's funny that people will spend a bunch of money on equipment and then complain how bad they suck at golf. But they don't want to spend the money on lessons so they can use their shine expensive golf equipment. Just go and do it.
