Fountain Head Country Club Top 100 Review

Fountain Head Country Club, located in Hagerstown, Maryland, features an 18-hole championship golf course designed by legendary Donald J. Ross. It is the only remaining original Ross design in Maryland. The par-71 course spans 6,326 yards from the black tees with a course rating of 71.3 and slope of 125, with additional tee options accommodating various skill levels including family tees.

The course is characterized by tree-lined fairways and small, undulating greens that emphasize positioning and strategic play rather than distance. These design elements demand thoughtful shot selection and creativity from golfers. The layout has undergone only minor modifications throughout its history, maintaining the integrity of Ross's original design by contemporary standards.

The course offers five regulation tee sets plus family tees, with yardages ranging from 4,871 to 6,326 yards. Yellow and green tees play to par 72, while black, blue, and white tees play par 71. The course is situated on manicured grounds within a full-service country club that also features fine dining, tennis, swimming, and fitness facilities, making it a comprehensive recreational destination in Western Maryland.
