Compass Pointe Golf Courses in Pasadena, Maryland

Anne Arundel County's newest and only 36-hole public golf facility, Compass Pointe Golf Courses in Pasadena, Maryland, is finally open.

The course's four nines - North, East, South and West - are spread over more than 800 acres of a diverse variety of golf terrains, including plenty of woodland.

The North is a links-style layout with rolling hills that transitions to the East Course, more of a traditional tree-lined layout. Compass Pointe's South Course is a lot like the East, while the West is designed more for the shot maker.

The Compass Pointe clubhouse right beside two putting greens and a large grass driving range. Nearby Bogey's Grill sits up to 50 people and has a new covered patio.
