Golf in Crofton

Crofton in Anne Arundel County was developed in the 1960s as a planned community built around its country club, a founding logic that is still visible in how the community functions today. Crofton Country Club and Walden Golf & Country Club together provide two private golf options within a community specifically designed for recreational-oriented suburban living. Route 3 between Baltimore and Annapolis runs through Crofton, making it one of the more practically situated golf communities in the state—equidistant from two major cities, close to the Naval Academy corridor, and positioned for easy access to the Chesapeake's recreational water activities. The planned community's design includes walking paths, community pools, and green spaces that reflect the mid-century vision of suburban life organized around shared recreation.
