course needs something to talk about! 
Pros: Large wooded course with a great variety; uphill, downhill, trees, wide open areas, dog legs, and 2 tee pads. 8 is a nice down hill shot, 12 hugs the edge of the woods, and 18 is a long shot into a patch of trees.
Very few thorns and ticks which infest other Maryland and NOVA courses.

Cons: No signage causes some frustration, but you can usually see the next tee from the basket. There is a lot of back tracking back to tees from the previous basket.
Course did not have the personality or uniquness of Bluemont, but it has a consistant quality through 18 holes.
You can see the river from the course, but the course never utilizes any water hazards.
Tees are gravel, but were usually lengthy enough, some were filled with mud.

Other Thoughts: Lots of deer. We saw a buck, 2 does, and a fawn on hole 18 and large does on holes 10 and 11.
Course is one of the better courses in the area, but it needs signage and a few signature holes to become a 5 out of 5.

Report this Review Cool 
Pros: Challenging.........
The review that complains about minimal mowing of fairways....... Not a problem with good throws.

Getting Closer to a 5-Star

Review By: John Merhi Played: 40 Reviewed: 7 Exp: 25 Years
This review was updated on 11/29/2010
Pros: The scenic beauty of the park. The incredible length and difficulty of the holes and the course. The variety of holes - no 2 are alike! Restrooms and picnic areas available. Water fountains on the course. The NEW TEE PADS!!!!
Cons: Minimal mowing of fairways, especially on the Back 9 (see back 9 pics). Multi-use park with bikers, equestrians, scout camps, and other park users on many of the holes. Very few restaurants or Convenience Stores near park.
Other Thoughts: This review was originally titled "Should be 5-Star". Recent improvements to the tee pads are pushing this course in that direction. Because of the tee pad upgrade, I have changed my rating from 4.0 to 4.5. While I prefer concrete to crushed gravel, the new crushed gravel tees at Patapsco are great. Tee pads are no longer a valid concern when it comes to Patapsco. IMHO, Patapsco is now tied with Seneca as the best course in MD. It has (by far) the best variety of shots in one place. Combine that with the sheer length and difficulty of this course.... it will drop your jaw in awe! Holes 7, 8, 9, 13, 15, and 17 are just fantastic. You want a real disc golf challenge? Patapsco offers the best challenge in Maryland.
Unfortunately, the problem of waist high grass across much of the back 9 continues to make Patapsco a tough place to play from May thru October. Don't take my word for it, see the pictures. While 10-meter swaths are cut through the fairways, it's not enough mowing for this huge course. It takes way too long to find your discs when they land on either side of these 10-meter cuts. It's frustrating to bring a group of mostly ams because you end up looking for plastic all day. Plus, the tall grass is deer tick heaven during the summer. With all the golfers and boy scout camps that use this land, it's unfathomable that the Park won't cut the grass nor let the volunteers cut the grass. Just the deer tick/Lyme's threat alone justifies the mowing. That said, the Park is supposedly cutting wider fairways than they did in the past. Still, much of the back 9 has waist high grass (off of the narrow fairways). If Patapsco were mowed the way Seneca was mowed, it would take sole possession of "Best Course in Maryland".
This course could be the best course in Maryland if not the Mid-Atlantic region. But until the waist high grass across much of the back is mowed, it will never be a true "5-Star". Damn close though.....

Marathon course
Pros: Great course when you really feel like airing it out. Most holes I would consider a par 4. Good mix of left and rights. Like Jaymon 1 points out, the only thing really missing is a water hazard. You can hear the river on some of the back 9 and its very private and peaceful. Deer spotting is common.
Cons: If you can't throw far, it will wear you out. More for advanced players.
Other Thoughts: 17 through the woods with the long pin setting is about as hard as they get.

An Awesome Mid-Atlantic Course 2-4 4/9/2004 9/11/2007

Pros: Long course with wide variety of landscape and challenges. Well laid out and maintained, beautiful setting.
Other Thoughts: This course has to be one of the best in the country, and is certainly one of the elite courses among the courses I've played thus far. Except for water hazards, this course has it all - well groomed and maintained, wide variety of holes and challenges, beautiful natural setting, both the holes and the course overall laid out extremely well, good teepads, good map, not at all crowded, just a great course. The big thing about Patapsco is that the worst hole at Patapsco is still cooler than 90% of the disc golf holes I've played.
Patapsco Valley is among the longest courses I've played; in fact, when the baskets are set in the far positions, I'm sure it's one of the longest courses in the country. The average player used to the average par 54 course can count on an extra 10-15 throws at this course, even from the short tees. Even a good drive from an average player can leave you a couple hundred feet from the basket out here. Big arms will LOVE this course.
Patapsco also has great variety, up and down hills, in the woods and in the open, dog legs, and fantastic, beautiful terrain. Not wild and woolly like the California courses, but longer and just as beautiful (although I bet those NorCal courses are better in the winter, when everything isn't so brown and dusty). It's hard to pick a signature hole - maybe 10 were as cool as any I've ever played elsewhere. Patapsco Valley is a must-see course for any disc golf aficianado.
Favorite Hole - #7 - Elevated teepad in the forest but not too tight down significant but gradual hill fading to the left.
