| For the time of year and the snow it was in great shape. Almost no snow on the course and greens/fairways were in good shape. Greens were slow but rolled well. Overall it was a good day to get out playing |

| Start was delayed in order to allow snow to melt off of the greens. Course was a little wet but very playable. Only the sand traps were not playable. Although grass in fairways and on greens was still in winter hibernation, both seemed in good shape. Snack bar was open in spite of limited number of golfing customers. |

| Played the North and East courses today. The course was very wet after two straight rainy days. The best part of the course had to be the greens. The greens were consistent throughout and in really good shape. The fairways were in decent shape, but that was probably because of all the rain. Overall, a very enjoyable round. |

| Played the North East courses. Greens in good condition with a lot of unrepaired ball marks. Traps OK but san a little heavy. Tees, fairways, and rough show a lot of hard traffic. Several fairways on the North course had recently been aeriated. Snack bar was good but a little expensive. |

| It was very soggy on the day we played, but its really a good course. It requires some thinking to get around. |

| Played the South West Course which was in overall good shape. Considering the wetness of the course from yesterday's rain, the greens were pretty much unfazed and rolled true. Probably the most impressive part of Compass Pointe was the staff, they understand how to move people from cash rep, to starter to tee box. We finished a Saturday round in a little over 4 hours (with cart path only)...that was pretty impressive. |

| Course is in great shape even after a fair amount of rain. Tee boxes look like they're getting a bunch of play, but the fairways and greens were in great shape. Greens drained exceptionally well and rolled true. Saw the ranger at least 3 times throughout the round, but only saw the cart girl once. Play was smooth; round was 4:30 and only had to wait briefly after the turn. Overall a solid course and I look forward to playing again soon. |

| I do not find anything special about either course at Compass Pointe. It is not a bad place to play, but I personally do not like the layout. It was just ok. |

| We played the Northeast course and it was in great condition. The rough was spotty in places, but that is why they call it the rough. The greens were awesome, being firm yet receptive; you had to have some spin on your shots. The course was crowded, but we played in approx. 4 hours and twenty minutes. One good thing was the cart rule; to protect the rough, we were told to stay in the fairway. The staff was friendly and attentive. Compass Pointe is now a place that you must see. |

| Course was in ok shape the fairways and greens were better than most for late March. Lot's of plugs on the course and they are charging summer rates. I would hold up on playing till the grass turns since you pay full price for a course that does not even have a cart girl or water on the course yet. |

| My buddy booked a time on 1-31-09 for 2-1-09; he gave them his credit card to hold the time. He and three other guys then drove one hour to the course. The attendant in the shop then told them that the courses were closed due to snow cover! He asked why they took his CC info the day before; there was no answer. Then, the assistant pro told them that there was nothing he could do about it. Needless to say, they have lost at least five customers. |

| I played Compass on 9/22 and was very disappointed with the conditions of the entire golf course. Not sure what has happened to the course, maybe it had something to do with the problem of illegals working there and the press getting wind of it. Not sure what is going on now, and if they even have a greens crew but I sure hope the conditions turn around soon. My group does enjoy Compass but we don't plan on going back until we hear some good things about the course conditions improving. |

| I was somewhat disappointed with the conditions at Compass Pointe yesterday. I played this course a little over a month ago, and it was in much better shape then. The greens had tons of ball marks that were not fixed. Based on the conditions from last month, I will give this course another chance though. |

| I played the course with a friends company. It was a scramble tournament and we had a blast. The course was in great shape and has above average difficulty. It was 100 degrees but the beverage cart made it around to us 4 times during our 18 holes and the experience was great overall. |

| Only got to play 9 before the storms came thru. Course was in very good condition. Staff in the pro shop were extremely accommodating in crediting us back for the 9 holes that we didn't play. Breakfast sandwiches were a plus. |

| Very nice golf course in Pasadena which houses two full 18 hole courses. The conditions on the course were above average, the fairways and greens were in great shape, however it looks like they are working hard to get the rough back in good shape. The rough was patchy is some areas and uneven, good thing I spent most of my time in the fairways. Regardless this course is a great play and has some very scenic and beautiful holes. |

| Very difficult course in fairly good condition. Greens and fairways are in excellent condition. Rough has numerous bare spots. Tees are in good conditions. Sand in traps was a little heavy but ground crew was working on them today. Course had heavy play today. Had several outings scheduled. Staff was friendly and courteous. |

| Compass looks like its ready to go for the golf season, the grass is alive and well :). Tee boxes, greens and fairways all in pretty decent shape for this early in the season. I can't wait to play this course this summer. |

| Overall, I would say the course is in good shape, it should be it is only mid May. In a couple of weeks when the weather starts getting ugly, who knows. Grass in the rough is non-existent, can't imagine what it is going to be like in July/August. Each and every fairway is framed by mounds of bare rough, which acts a spring board to send your ball in the hazard if you hit them. You are either in the fairway or taking a penalty, period. I know, I know, hit the ball in the fairway and I wouldn't have a problem, but for $55 on a Tuesday afternoon I want some grass under my ball when I am lucky enough to have it stop in the rough or when I am chipping around the green. |

| I played the North-East course with that Ronicles guy and agree with just about everything he said. The tee-boxes, fairways and greens are in excellent shape - there are a couple of greens that will probably burn up in another month or so (maybe 2). This course is still fairly new and the county rushed the opening and didn't allow the rough to grow in properly, although it is still a problem it is getting better. However, dropping $70 on the weekend (not including range balls, they have a grass range but I have never seen it opened???), you would expect to have grass under your ball.
The tee boxes are nicely trimmed and well kept. The greens look really good, except those two I mentioned earlier, and are very hard and moderately fast.
I would not recommend this course for hackers/beginners. The North is a links style course that plays fast and usually a lot of wind. It is not forgiving at all, and there are many forced carries.
In the area this course is definitely a step above Eisenhower, Timbers of Troy, Enterprise to name a few but you definitely pay a premium. I think in about 2 years this course will be well worth the money.
See you next time! |

| I don't know if it was the week of rain or just terrific course management, but the course was in beautiful condition. We played the north and east courses and they were both nice. I had never played here before, but the other guys I played with were veteran Compass visitors and thought the course in tip top shape. Play was slow (5 hours and 15 minutes) but I think it was just the guys in front of us. |

| This course is owned by Anne Arundel County and has just been reconstructed, the views are beautiful and it has a lot of potential. The conditions were ok, but they could be better. |
