I see your point. We normally played up to November 15th. Although my last winter there they said the day after New Years was going to be warm, that would of been January 2, 2011 and it did get into the upper 40's. The place was packed more than in August, it was an unreal crowd and I played with 3 young guys, neat experience. We normally would start back sometime in March, as long as there wasn't any wind, low 40's was our beginning number. Those Footjoy gloves weren't bad either, they helped a lot.
I just checked that course, Geneva Farms which is my favorite, and tomorrow Thursday I can get a teetime at 11:03 for $27.75, forecast tomorrow is 79 degrees but a 50% chance of rain. This is the one course I really miss playing. There is so many different elements to the layout, elevation changes, a lot of water, blind shots, things you don't see here. Rates are way down, Saturday morning until 10am, teetimes are only $33.95 and then they go to $37.95. You have to click the teetimes button to get those rates. In the big scheme of things, Baltimore is sandwiched between DC and Philly, and it's probably the cheapest place to live on the east coast until you get to the Carolinas.
Welcome to Geneva Farm Golf Club
This is not a Par 3, it's the second shot on #10 a Par 4 dogleg right. The white tees is the same as our blue tees, about 6200 yards. From the whites, you need to hit about 230 or more to get to the corner because of heavy trees on the right. Then your second shot is only about 120 to the green, but a large pond is on the right and a creek crosses the fairway completely about ten yards short of the green and then there are large dropoffs on the back and left side of the green. This is what I mean when I say there are a lot of fun holes and this is only about $30.
