Hampshire Greens Golf Course

Situated about 40 minutes north of Washington, D.C., Hampshire Greens is a municipal course owned by Montgomery County. Unlike some nearby courses which have Bermuda grass fairways, Hampshire Greens has bentgrass on the fairways, tees and greens. Though the course can be visually intimidating, with trees lining most holes, the landing areas play wider than they appear, as large shoulders on the edges keep wayward shots in play. Higher handicaps should make sure they play the proper tees, as the par 3s have forced carries over fescue, depending on which tees you pick.
