Musket Ridge Golf Club encompasses more than 150
acres of breathtaking mountain views without one house,
condo, or townhouse spoiling any fairway. This final gem
designed by the late Gentleman Joe Lee is known as
one of his finest works, joining the ranks of Doral and
LaCosta. From the first hole’s dramatic elevated tee shot,
golfers will see this course as one of the Free State’s
best. Trademarks of this superbly conditioned golf course
include undulating greens, strategically located visible
hazards from elevated tee boxes, and unique bunkering.
The friendly, professional staff believes that a day on the
golf course should reward golfers with the “perfect golf”
experience, and no other public golf course serves better
food. Surrounded by abundant natural beauty and unique
topography, Musket Ridge is located conveniently just off
I-70, west of Frederick, in Myersville, MD.

“#5 Best New Affordable Course” —Golf Digest 2003
Rated HHHH1/2 —Golf Digest

In the heart of the Shenandoah Valley sits one of America’s
most spectacular golf courses. A stunning 18-hole
championship golf course, Packsaddle Ridge Golf Club in
Keezletown, Virginia, features incredible views of the valley
below. Golf Digest in 2003 voted Packsaddle #5 “Best New
Affordable Course.” In the fall of 2014 $40,000 was spent
renovating the front nine. This breathtaking facility was built
on more than 500 acres of rolling countryside. Designed
by renowned golf architect Russell Breeden along with Jeff
Forbes, this 4-year project required moving an incredible
one million tons of rock and 750,000 tons of top soil. The
resulting layout will challenge all types of golfers and
overload your senses with natural beauty. Packsaddle
Ridge is located 15 minutes off Exit 247, east of I-81.
