  “#9 in Maryland” —Golf Advisor 2016
  Rated HHHH —Golf Digest

  Clustered Spires Golf Club, located just outside of historic
  Frederick, MD, offers golfers everything they need for an
  enjoyable day on the course. Built by the city in 1991, this
  was Frederick County’s first public golf course. This gem
  has been constantly voted as the favorite golf course in
  Frederick. Clustered Spires is laid out upon 200 acres
  of rolling farmland adjacent to the Monocacy River. The
  excellent conditions of the bentgrass greens and plush
  rolling fairways provide a venue for golfers of all skill
  levels. Clustered Spires received its unique name from
  the grouping of five very old, distinct church steeples that
  make up the clustered spires of Frederick City’s skyline.
  The respected design team of Ault, Clark and Associates
  created a fun and challenging competitive course. You can
  find one of the best golf values in central Maryland just
  minutes from I-70 and a short drive from both Baltimore
  and Washington, DC. Clustered Spires Golf Club delivers a
  solid golfing experience you will enjoy from start to finish.
