Although geographically a small state, Maryland hosts some big golf events each year.  The PGA Tour stops in Bethesda for the AT&T National at Congressional Country Club on June 29-July 5^th.  Anthony Kim was the 2008 winner.  Congressional also hosted the 1997 U.S. Open won by Ernie Els – it is a real test of golf for these players.

Maryland is also home to the 2009 McDonald’s LPGA Championship.  This 2009 event was played at Bulle Rock Golf Club in Havre de Grace. Hotel and Resort space can be at a premium during these events, try to book yours well in advance.

The Lodestone Golf Club and Community recently opened providing golfers with a highly anticipated new addition to the Maryland golf scene. Designed by Todd Schoeder, an award winning golf course architect with a 25-year career spanning design, construction, maintenance and operations. Todd led the design for Lodestone implementing a vision that let the natural features of the site dictate the risk/reward strategy found throughout the 18-holes. Lodestone Golf Club is located just two hours from Pittsburgh and three hours from Baltimore and Washington D.C.

The unique residential communities have been carefully designed to integrate seamlessly into the extraordinary four-season mountain environment that makes Wisp Resort so special. Many of the homesites and townhomes feature ski-in/ski-out convenience; others offer sweepingly panoramic views of mountains, valley and Deep Creek Lake. Residents will have access to lake activities through private membership at the Lakeside Club, championship golf at the Lodestone Golf Club, and skiing at the popular Wisp Resort situated within miles and miles of interconnecting hiking and biking trails through a very special natural environment. Wisp Resort is Maryland's only 4-season ski, golf and recreational destination resort.
