Clifton Park Golf Course

Clifton Park Golf Course, founded in 1915, holds the distinction of being Baltimore's first public golf course. Its 18 holes wind through a landscape that frames both the history and the skyline of the city. Play begins adjacent to the Clifton Mansion, and from the first green, views stretch south to the Baltimore skyline and Clifton Tower — a reminder of Johns Hopkins, who once owned the estate. To the east, the silhouette of the Francis Scott Key Bridge marks the horizon, while Baltimore City College High School, established in 1839 and known as the "Castle on the Hill," stands a few blocks away. The course is PGA managed and offers well-maintained greens, manicured fairways, and a layout that suits golfers looking for a quality round without a long commitment. It is value priced and accessible, making it a practical choice for those with limited time. Clifton Park Golf Course is a popular round among Hole19 golfers in Maryland, rated 4.2 by those who have played it.
