About Clustered Spires
Clustered Spires Golf Club was established in 1991, as the first public golf course in Frederick County. The 185 acres on which Clustered Spires is located on what was formally a working dairy farm, set along the side of the Monocacy River. The Monocacy River surrounds the golf course on 3 sides, creating a beautiful setting while providing a natural barrier from outside distractions. Clustered Spires received its name from the grouping of 5 very old and distinct church steeples that make up the clustered spires of Frederick City’s skyline. The respected design team of Ault Clark was hired to create a first class championship golf course for the people of Frederick. The concept was to create a fun and enjoyable course from the regular tees but a challenging competitive course reaching almost 7000 yards long from the back tees. Clustered Spires, though in a rural setting, is only 2 miles from downtown Frederick City, making Clustered Spires very conveniently located. With a county population of 300,000 and 13 golf courses, Clustered Spires has earned ” Best of Frederick Golf Course” for the 3rd straight year and our 17th time out of 20 years! Golf Digest awards Clustered Spires a 4 star rating.

Handicap Flags
We understand and respect the needs of our disabled golfers and in non-cart path only situations we will issue handicap flags for those patrons who present documentation of the disability. Our course is commended for its condition and out of respect for all patrons who pay greens fees and the maintenance staff who work extremely hard to provide these great conditions, we are protective of the restricted areas for carts. When there is a cart-path only situation, we cannot allow any cart into the grass which could cause damage to the turf.
In the event that one is in a wheelchair and has their own modified cart, we will allow that individual access.
The use of spectator carts are generally not permitted at events. However, a spectator with a physical disability may request an exemption from this policy. This request must be made at least 72 hours prior to the event so that the Golf Club can make appropriate staffing and cart arrangements. In situations where such a request is granted, spectator carts will only be used on cart-paths and in appropriate areas reserved for carts.
