Golf in Cumberland

Cumberland is Western Maryland's dominant city, compressed in the Potomac River gorge at a point where Maryland narrows to barely a mile wide between West Virginia and Pennsylvania. The C&O Canal Towpath ends here after its 184-mile run from Georgetown, and the Great Allegheny Passage trail begins its run to Pittsburgh—a convergence that has made Cumberland an important cycling and outdoor recreation destination. Cumberland Country Club serves the city's established private golf market in a community whose economy has transformed from coal, glass, and railroads to recreation and healthcare. The Allegheny mountains that surround Cumberland provide a dramatic setting—real terrain relief that flatland courses can only simulate.
