Turf Valley
COLUMBIA ASSOCIATION
Fairway Hills
GOLFERS FROM BEGINNER TO PRO
will find plenty to love at Howard
County’s scenic and challenging
courses. The WaverlyWoods
Golf Club is an outstanding course
designed by Arthur Hills, and
upscale Hobbit’s Glen, three-time
host for the Champions Tour, has
recently undergone a complete
overhaul. Howard County also has
such neighborhood golf courses
as Timbers of Troy, Willow
Springs and Fairway Hills . The
lush TurfValley offers 36 holes
of championship golf and a full-
service European spa for relaxing
after a long day on the links. Those
who prefer their golf on a smaller
scale will appreciate the three
putt-putt offerings, where visitors
can practice indoors and out.
