Welcome to Clustered Spires
Established in 1991, Clustered Spires Golf Club stands as the pioneer public golf course in Frederick County. Spanning 185 acres of what once was a bustling dairy farm, it rests serenely alongside the Monocacy River, enveloped on three sides by its tranquil waters, shielding players from external distractions. The name “Clustered Spires” finds its origin in the distinctive sight of five ancient church steeples that grace Frederick City’s skyline.
Enlisted with the task of crafting a premier championship golf course accessible to all, renowned designers Ault Clark embarked on a mission to fashion an experience both delightful for casual players and formidable for seasoned competitors. From the regular tees, the course promises enjoyment, while stretching nearly 7000 yards from the back tees, it presents a true test of skill.
Nestled just 2 miles from downtown Frederick City, despite its rural setting, Clustered Spires offers unparalleled convenience. In a county boasting a population of over 300,000 residents and home to 13 golf courses, Clustered Spires has proudly clinched the title of “Best of Frederick Golf Course” for decades. Garnering a prestigious 4-star rating from Golf Digest, it has cemented its reputation as central Maryland’s finest value golf course.
Every day, Clustered Spires upholds its legacy of providing impeccably well-maintained fairways, impeccable greens, and an unparalleled golfing experience, all at an unbeatable value. Discover why excellence need not come at a premium—join us for your next round and elevate your golfing journey.

Practice Facility
Clustered Spires has a 3 tier all-natural driving range, with multiple target greens that go out beyond 300 yards. Two practice putting greens, one for putting exclusively and the other for chipping/putting. Hitting mats will also be available when the grass tiers are closed so your practice does not have to be interrupted. Clustered Spires offers the ultimate practice facility, so you can work on your golf game just as the tour pros do. A discount range program is offered to assist you with your practicing.
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. * Please reach out to Scott Peterson directly for this request
Spectator Carts
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.
*Please reach out to Scott Peterson directly for this request.
