DC/Baltimore area conditions this week?

[BaltimoreLefty]

My buddy in DC with 2 small kids, and generally no time off, randomly has tomorrow off and is looking to play. I don't see him as much as I like, so am willing to try to make something work...

 

Does anyone have insight into what courses are in decent condition this week? It looks like several (Little Bennett, Rattlewood, Worthington Manor, etc) are closed due to poor conditions. I see Blue Mash is open.

 

Also, if anyone has general knowledge about what area courses are less affected by wind, that would be very helpful as well, as tomorrow looks to be 15+ mph across the region... definitely not ideal.

I forgot to mention, we are looking for a place that is relatively equidistant to both of us... I am in Baltimore and he will be coming from picking something up from work in Silver Spring.

Good question. Given the recent snow, I'd say it's anyone's guess. I'm in north B'more, and I wasn't planning on heading to the course for at least a few days while it melts off. But, temps and weather aren't looking too promising. Might get rid of most of it over the next couple of days, but looks like rain and rain/snow mix are back in the forecast for later in the week. 

 

Obviously the further south you go, the better it may be.

I'm in northern VA. I know that most courses out in western fairfax and beyond are still closed as of today. However, I think tomorrow should be okay as we are getting rid of the last bit of snow. I know that courses along the eastern portion of the state are already open like Laurel Hills. Your best bet is to head south. Pandemic traffic (or lack of) will make it more favorable than a typical day.

We've had some rain and snow over the last week so its probably going to be a bit slow and mushy at many locations.

It is funny, I was actually more worried about wind, but every course I have called so far (in Maryland) has told me they will be closed tomorrow due to snow cover despite showing tee times online.

Thanks for the suggestion. It looks like Laurel Hill is open, but no tee times earlier than 2pm.

For what it’s worth, the furthest north I’ve gone is just past Richmond since the snow storm... and they’re all open. I’m in Williamsburg.
