The name Whiskey Creek stems from the club's proximity to Bush Creek, which legend has it was used to float barrels of whiskey down to the Monocacy River. Perhaps it's a parody of the modern 'house golf' theme, but the ruins seem to fit the landscape very well. The theme works. You'll scarcely believe your eyes when you see how the course is laid out. With all this surface variation on the drive in, you're sure you'll be hitting numerous blind drives and find greens perched on jagged cliffs.
Nothing's farther from the truth.
If it's traditional to see every shot and present multiple playing options, this course is a classic already. It's my favorite golf course already, and I haven't even played it. The course's condition is also noteworthy. Seeing as Whiskey Creek's just reaching its first anniversary, you'd expect to see clumpy rough, bare spots in fairways and weak looking saplings bordering the holes. While not completely mature, it's amazing what conditions you'll find for a one-year old layout.
