So if you want to play a big, strong thoroughbred of a golf course, one that could easily host a PGA Tour event, Bulle Rock will not disappoint. The course occupies pretty land that was once a horse farm. It's pure Maryland, with rolling hills, mature deciduous trees, creeks, ponds and far-off views of the Chesapeake. The course is always in pristine condition. The course yardage from the back tees is 7,375 yards.
Many holes require some length off the tee, but the landing areas are generous.
Most of the danger lurks around the greens, which are heavily trapped and not all that big. Dye's layout tests your tactical abilities and requires a complete repertoire of shot making. And at Bulle Rock you'll experience the exacting standards you'd find at private clubs. Among the high-fashion golf course designers of the day, Arthur Hills would be among most people's top 10. Celebrated or not, Hills has earned a reputation for entering a piece of property where a golf course has been proposed, summing up its parts and putting together the best layout possible.
