Fountain Head Country Club

Fountain Head Country Club sits on the north side of Hagerstown, Maryland, in a mature residential enclave that grew up around the course after its establishment in 1924. Today it is a private, member-owned club with a full-service clubhouse (rebuilt in 2006 after earlier facilities were lost to a 1965 fire), dining rooms, fitness center, racquet facilities, aquatics, and an 18-hole Ross course that plays to a par of 71 from 6,326 yards at the back tees. The course experience is defined by close green-to-tee connections across rolling, rocky piedmont terrain, tree-lined corridors, and notably small, lively putting surfaces; the club emphasizes that only modest changes have been made over time and presents the layout as the lone remaining Ross course in Maryland. Visitors encounter a compact routing with frequent elevation change, short par fives and mid-length par fours that ask for precise placement rather than brute length, and greens that reward control and imagination. The club hosts state-level competitions—most recently the 97th Maryland Open.
