Marlton Golf Course Review

I love the course layout.
The fareways and greens are getting better and better.

Call Charley did Jumpstart on 2 cars. All went well

Very friendly staff. They even let us play extra holes since it was a bit slow. Only pay the golf now prices though

Worst golf experience I have had in probably 5 years. The condition of the course is horrendous. The rough was full of tall weeds and crab grass. the fairways were very spotty, and there were random holes with about 3-5 gallons of water in them. The water most have been in these holes for sometime because there was algae growing in all them. Needless to say, there were a ton of mosquitos. The bunkers were also terrible. About 10% of the bunkers were marked "Ground Under Repair", but the rest of the bunkers looked exactly the same and did not have signs in them. Doesn't make much sense. The greens had a TON of spots that had no grass, but a weird green mud (I will post pictures). This course is worth no more than $25 to play. I got a hot deal on GolfNow for $35, and I want a refund.

I also had a bad experience with the service there. There was no organization for tee times. I booked a tee time, went to sign in, and the guy said I could go out earlier and that there was a large group behind me. So I go to the tee box and that large group was already in front me.

The only good part of this course was the guy driving around. He was very nice.

This course, while could be wonderful, is in horrible shape from tee box to green. I don't know how they can call dirt with weeds a fairway. Also, I notice another reviewer stated that signage is base that, and the course said this would be taken care of...this was back in February and they said they would improve that...well as of mid-July there are still no signs directing first timers around the course. Personally, I won't have to worry about this as I do Not plan on ever returning. For the price to play, I can go to m1any PG County courses that are in super condition.

Marlton...you could have a great course..but it will take closing it down for a while and fixing everything...including sprinklers on the fairway mid-day..and a man watering the greens during the heat of the day...no wonder the course is in bad shape.

Good course, well maintained. Greens were in good shape and firm. I play here a couple of times a year through Golf Now hot deals.

Awesome new beginning at a great location... #MGC3

It was a beautiful day. Was really looking forward to playing. You could tell at one time the course was beautiful. Nice layout. Very competitive. The biggest disappointment was that the people who live on the golf course don t even have enough respect for the golfers to keep their music turned down. Last thing you want to hear is rap music while you re trying to concentrate.

Only visited once, but enjoyed it very much. The owners were very kind and welcoming to the community.

4 stars only because I don't golf. I have lunch there and the owners and staff make me feel right at home. Well, better than home. More like a valued guest. I enjoy the hospitality.

Love the owners, course needs help though. Get an investor in there and the place would be AMAZING!! Keep working on it fellas, you'll get there!!

I played the course today and besides being very wet was in terrible condition. There was spotty patches of grass if none at all in the fairways the greens were littered with bare spots and bumpy and overall I'd be surprise if it last thru the upcoming season.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME!!!
This is the worst course I've seen in my life.
Every Tee Box is horrible. The tee boxes are so bad, on a few holes, there is a driving range mat to hit off of...and they are in horrible shape as well. Cant tell the difference Between parts of the fairway and the rough except for the parts of the fairways on EVERY hole that are burnt out.
Almost every bunker has grass and weeds growing in it. They must've waited over a month to cut the grass. Clumps of it everywhere. No need bothering blowing it off the cart paths either. The greens are shabby on most holes. It's like they don't even care.
It a shame what they charge to play this course. #OVERPRICED!! They should PAY golfers to play here.
Don't worry about yardage markers....
They don't exist or they are covered by the weeds, I mean grass. They could easily at the bare minimum grab 54 wooden stakes, divide them by 3 and paint them red, white, and blue to indicate yardage. I was totally guessing out there.
Sadly, it has potential to be so good. It needs so much work. I agree with a previous reviewer that they should shut it down and do something to get this course in shape. It needs so much help! At best, this is a practice course....AT BEST!! Not even sure how they are still open. I would NEVER play here again!
Don't do it. There are so many other courses to play. Don't play here!! I wish I could give this course 1/5 of a star. This course is disrespectful to the game of golf.

I was going going here to play in a tournament, but it was postponed. We stayed to play a round anyway. The course is not in good shape. Tee boxes full of weeds, fairways have bare patches and some bunkers have rocks and grass. It needs work.

I've always liked the layout of Marlton, but it had been in decline. Under the new ownership the quality has really improved. It's still under renovations but this late in the season and it's still looking good.

I had to give it a star just to post this review. This place is closed even tho it says open. DO NOT COME HERE!!!!!

The place is awesome they seem to be partnering up with an American Legion I'm feeling some type of annex they're going to be doing shows their concerts there comedy night and helping Soldiers with PTSD and I understand they going to start helping vets when they get out of service awesome place Golf Course to play golf on I'll give it a 5 out of 10 but they seem to be working very hard to making the greens perfect staff was awesome

Looking a bit better. Many fareways still are a bit bare and contain numerous weeds. Rough was reasonable where as in the past, it was quite high. Greens are still be a work in progress.

This is not the same Marlton from years ago people. I played there yesterday and felt like I should have been paid just to play the course. Very bad course condition, no pro shop, no anything like balls, hats, ball markers like years ago when I played there last. I was in shock at the total lack of upkeep on the Entire golf course. Greens, burned out patchy, not mowed, majority of the fairways are just tufts of grass, full of dandelions and goose poop
The positive I got from it was ... instead of hitting on the range for an hour and a half I was able to at least hit some shots, so the $16.00 was not wasted. . I shot a 39/43

I am disappointed that I have to write this type of review but it is with the hope that this will motivate or inspire the staff there to do something about the persistent deterioration of what was and still could be a great place to play a round of golf. The greens are in HORRIBLE SHAPE and the fairways are littered with big clumps of old grass clippings that make it close to impossible to find your ball after hitting it. While on the parking lot waiting to get to the club house I overheard several players complaining about the condition of the course and they obviously weren't happy. I feel as if I just flushed $35 down the toilet........never again until this problem is fixed. I also noticed where the owners are thanking people who give a good review, however, what about the constructive criticism that you're receiving and it should be a lot. I love the slogan "we know you have a choice and we're glad you chose us" .....never again.

Call Charley does roadside assistance for the parking lots

Course has some exciting challenges there were times when the direction to theTee could have been better.Needs care

We went out on July 19th. I'm not sure I've played a course recently that has been less taken care of. There is graffiti on nearly every hole on the front 9. The rough is easier to play out of than the fairway or even the tee boxes. There isn't provided water on the course and we actually weren't able to buy anything at the turn either. We won't be coming back.

Needs grass seed and fertilizer. Greens need to be aerated, seeded and rolled. Apparently it needs money and care. I used to play there a lot. With Twin Shields, Robin Dale and the Patuxent course closed Marlton could get a lot of play if put back in decent shape.

This course is so sad. April thru June of 2016, I said this was a suitable local replacement for Twin Shields. Boy was I wrong. Played today (2 Sept 2016) and was utterly unplayable. They must have hired a local blind man to cut the grass. Greens are absolutely atrocious, fairways are Un Fair Ways. I feel like I was robbed. I give no stars to a course that can't afford to reinvest to keep the place playable. Short term cash to owners is short sighted. When you buy or lease a course, you should expect to operate at a loss for at least two years and sink cash in to keep players coming back. Instead, they have no knowledge of golf business or golf course maintenance. I'm embarrassed to have ever spent a dime at this cow pasture. Saw scrawny deer all over course that were bone thin, even they couldn't find enough vegetation on the lunar landscape to keep lbs on. Never EVER play here! Unfortunately, had to give one star to post this...if negative five was an option, still wouldn't be enough.

First time playing this course this year (used to play weekly). Course is in very poor condition, has went downhill over the years.

This place is awesome. I want my 50th birthday party to be here. Thanks Marlon and Lynn for letting me be with you all. HAPPY birthday Lynn!

Dog track! But for 30 bucks what should you expect.

So disappointing. They have to fix this course. I used to live on this course until 2013 and hadn't played there since - and it was in pretty good shape. I saw on the website it got new owners in 2015 and a new "vision" and there had been renovations and was excited to come back. What a let down. I really want to support this local course but they have to invest in getting this course playable again. They are doing themselves a disservice by charging people to place this course. Many of the folks I talked to in the parking lot couldn't/wouldn't play some of the holes in disrepair and said they wouldn't be back. Sad for me to see an hear, but I understand.

I don't have a handicap, I don't consider myself a scratch golfer. I have played this course more than enough times to know that if I want to relax or talk business I need to play at Congressional. I learned my game under the eyes of Maryland Golf Professional Bobby Bilbo. This course just might be difficult for the novice and those afternoon men's club that tipped a few too many (BAC 1.4) or those that Wilson or Spaulding 3-5-7-9 means a full bag of sticks and a cart is needed. I can shoot 3 under using just my 4 iron. I can't imagine what the greens would be like if they actually resembled one. I guess practicing on pitted concrete sidewalks does come in handy once in a while. I put my oil can wedges to the test here, that is if the grass isn't too long.

This is our go to golf spot, staff (Ms Linda, Anthony and Mr Gavin)make you feel like family.

One of the worst experiences I've had at Marlton. Horrible conditions, been playing there for several years and I have never played there with the course in such terrible shape. I was saddened by what I witnessed. It resembled a course that looks as if its been abandoned and was going to close for good. Staff offered their apologies for the conditions. Was once a course I looked forward to playing, no longer the case. Very disappointing.

Not only is this a golf course, but they have other events here for late night entertainment! My cousin invited me out for comedy night and I had a blast! Apparently, this is something that happens every Friday and it's only $10. I will definitely be coming back to enjoy myself again and the food here is soo good. I LOVED the fried shrimp.

Stay as far away as possible. The course was in terrible condition (greens and fairways burned up and damaged everywhere you look, the tee boxes look like sand traps, and graffiti was scribbled on anything that could be drawn on). Given that it's summer I'll let that part slide. The inexcusable part of our experience was the staff (went into the clubhouse at the turn to grab gatorades and no one was to be found, we walked around the building and the lady working their was out under the pavilion chatting on her cell phone). The course is littered with trash, seriously on every hole, and none of the water stations had water. Driving through the course there are no signs to point you in the right direction, you have to drive around aimlessly in hopes to find the next terrible tee box. Oo, how could I forgot, while we were about to tee off on the 16th hole a bunch of hoodlums on dirt bikes came riding through the course. I honestly shouldn't have expected anything different with it being in PG County. Don't waste your money!

I enjoyed my round.... the course is being kept in very good shape. Looking forward to my next round here!!!
