Golf in Crownsville

Crownsville is an Anne Arundel County community west of Annapolis in the rolling terrain between the Severn River and the Patuxent watershed. Eisenhower Golf Course—named for the golfing president who made the game a national recreation during his administration—provides county-operated recreational golf in a community otherwise characterized by estate residential properties and preserved open space. The Anne Arundel County countryside here retains a rural character that contrasts with the dense suburbs to the north, and Crownsville's position between Annapolis and the BWI airport corridor gives it practical accessibility. The Severn River corridor and the Patuxent Research Refuge to the northwest frame Crownsville within a natural open-space context that makes it one of Anne Arundel County's more scenic residential communities.
