“#6 in MD, America’s Best Golf Courses” —Golfweek 2016

Encompassing more than 150 acres of breathtaking
mountain views without one house, condo, or townhouse
spoiling any fairway, Musket Ridge Golf Club is the final
gem designed by the late Gentleman Joe Lee and 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 view this course as one of the Free State’s
best. Undulating greens, strategically located visible
hazards from elevated tee boxes, and unique bunkering
are trademarks of this superbly conditioned golf course.
The friendly, professional staff believe that a day on the
golf course should reward golfers with the “perfect golf”
experience, and the food is second to no other public golf
course. Surrounded by abundant natural beauty and unique
topography, Musket Ridge is conveniently located just off
I-70, west of Frederick, in Myersville, MD.
