Job Details

Preserved natural wetlands meander through this picturesque setting, offering some of the prettiest views in all of golf in the Baltimore area. A brand-new clubhouse is set to open this fall.

Rocky Point, with its many elevation changes, plays longer than its posted yardage. Par at Rocky Point is set at 72, with a fairly open front nine and a back nine that is more tree lined and highlighted by the three par 5’s. Greens are large and inviting with strategically placed bunkers.
