Golf in Accident

Accident in Garrett County carries one of Maryland's most memorable town names—attributed by tradition to a surveying dispute over a land grant in the 1770s. What is not accidental is the setting: the town sits in the Allegheny highlands at an elevation exceeding 2,500 feet, within easy reach of Deep Creek Lake and the Wisp Resort complex that anchors Garrett County's four-season tourism economy. Fantasy Valley and Lodestone golf courses are both Wisp Resort properties, offering mountain golf that benefits from genuinely cool summer temperatures and Allegheny ridgeline vistas. Autumn here is spectacular, and the golf season runs from roughly May through October.
