Why we love this place
We love Rocky Gap for its mountain drama and mile-wide views. Where else in Maryland do you get a true Nicklaus Signature routing, elevation changes that make you think, and Lake Habeeb glittering behind the greens? It is a bucket-list stop worth the drive.

About Rocky Gap
Set within Rocky Gap State Park in the Appalachian Mountains near Flintstone, this par-72 layout is widely cited as the only Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course in Maryland. It stretches to roughly 7,000 yards and gives players two distinct experiences across its eighteen holes. The front nine is carved from mountainous, tree-lined terrain marked by dramatic elevation changes, while the back nine opens across expansive, gently rolling meadows. Evitt's Mountain and the strikingly blue waters of Lake Habeeb frame the setting, and five tee boxes per hole let golfers of every handicap dial in the challenge. The course anchors a larger resort that pairs the golf with a lakeside lodge, dining, and a casino, making it a destination for outdoor recreation as much as a serious round of golf.
