Joining Piney Branch Golf Club a few months ago has been an exceptional experience. The course is absolutely stunning, with meticulously maintained fairways and greens that strike the perfect balance between challenging and enjoyable. The staff is incredibly friendly and professional, making every visit feel welcoming. The food is fantastic, and I have to give special recognition to Chamberlyn in the restaurant and bar—she’s outstanding! Her service, attention to detail, and personable approach make dining and relaxing after a round even more enjoyable. Piney Branch delivers on all fronts: i…

Everyone thinks their wedding day was the best, but Piney Branch’s management and staff made this crazy, stressful day my absolute favorite day. In late May, the courses were beautifully tended and patio with cover was ideal incase of rain. Affordable and responsive, I’d go with Piney Branch Golf Club again and again!

My husband and I love playing golf at Piney Branch. When it comes to the course, you won’t find a more beautiful, well kept and often challenging course in the area. We love walking the course and seeing the flowers in bloom and all the wildlife. What makes Piney Branch, Piney Branch, is the people. The pros are wonderful and the shop staff are knowledgeable, helpful and fun. The members are all so welcoming and inviting. I hadn’t played in a tournament before and the women welcomed me with open arms. We travel all over to play golf and it’s always good to come home to Piney.

First time at Piney. The course itself was challenging (but I’m not a good golfer) and well-maintained. We went end of November, so it was cart path only. The course was sparse in terms of amenities—not sure if that was because it was end of the season, but I was disappointed that there were ball cleaners, trash cans, etc. at any of the holes. I’m assuming it was time of year but otherwise, would’ve been a 5 star experience.

My wife and I recently were married at Piney Branch Golf Course and Wedding venue. Wedding planning can be a very stressful experience but not when you have Emily the venue’s event coordinator. Emily goes above and beyond your expectations even when you think things can’t be possible. From last minute changes or odd requests this amazing coordinator made it happen. As far as the venue goes it was absolutely perfect for what we wanted. Perfect setting on the outdoor covered terrace for our marriage and then the inside ballroom was the perfect layout with plenty of space. Our guests are still me…

I am a new member of Piney Branch Golf Club joining in 2024. I am a novice golfer who has felt welcome and comfortable to grow in the game at Piney Branch. The environment is beautiful with well maintained grounds. The staff and fellow members are friendly and personable. Getting tee times has never been difficult nor have the practice areas ever been so busy that I could not utilize them at my convenience. The Club House dining is delicious and it offers quite a variety of choices that keep us coming back for more. The special gatherings are well attended by members and their families and are…

I’ve been a member for 4 years and enjoy the warm and friendly welcome every time I visit the club. The course is challenging and fun to play. The greens have made me a better golfer. I enjoy the groups I play with and often have a nice lunch in the grill room after a round. The food is delicious. The new renovations on the course have turned out to make the course more fun. The practice area is great!

Piney Branch is located on 205 acres of the most bucolic land in Baltimore & Carroll County counties. The condition of the course is always perfect, thanks to the diligence of the golf course superintendents and the maintenance crew. The course with its pristine fairways, undulating greens, new bunkers & rough present a challenging, but fair test of your game. Low handicappers will find plenty of challenge, wide fairways and multiple tee boxes make it very playable for all skill levels. The course features generous tree lined fairways with meticulously maintained bent grass greens which are c…

I very recently had my wedding here and it was the most wonderful experience from beginning to end, Emily was super responsive and helpful from the beginning and responded to me even when she wasn’t at work. Emily was super accommodating, and left very very little for me to worry on the big day. She answered any questions I had and covered bases that I didn’t even think of, she had the ball room set up while I got ready, and made sure everything ran smoothly the whole night. She made sure we ate and drank and offered to get us anything we needed anytime/ multiple times throughout the night. Sh…

It was only a charity tournament, but the course was top notch. Great staff, too. If you get the chance to play, go for it!

Piney Branch Golf Course continues to shine as one of the most scenic and welcoming clubs in the region. The course itself is beautifully maintained, with lush fairways, mature trees, and rolling terrain that make every round a pleasure—especially if you prefer walking over riding. There’s something about strolling the course here that makes the game feel even more enjoyable. It's a destination through the rural countryside that can be enjoyed in the car on the way out onto the course. The rural scenic sights and sounds are just another addition to enjoying PB. Recent upgrades have elevated t…

The staff is always great whether you are in the golf shop, at the bar or on the course. The conditions of the golf course are the best in the area. The greens roll quick and true with challenging contours. The new renovations look great and add new challenges with large greenside bunkers.
