Golf in Clarksburg

Clarksburg in northern Montgomery County straddles the boundary between the county's expanding suburban landscape and its protected agricultural reserve. Little Bennett Golf Course sits within Little Bennett Regional Park—one of the county's largest natural parkland complexes—and the surrounding landscape of hardwood forest and stream corridors provides an unusually natural setting for a county synonymous with dense suburbia. Clarksburg has grown rapidly in recent decades as residential development has pushed northward along the I-270 corridor, but the park's protected status ensures that Little Bennett's rural character will persist amid the surrounding growth. The Damascus and Hyattstown communities nearby mark the current frontier of Montgomery County's suburban expansion into formerly agricultural territory.
