Golf in Grahamtown

Grahamtown is a small community in Allegany County's mountain terrain west of Cumberland, part of the western Maryland Allegheny highlands that comprise Maryland's most geographically dramatic region. Maplehurst Country Club provides private golf in a community where the coal and railroad heritage of the nineteenth century has given way to a smaller service economy centered on Cumberland's healthcare and government institutions. The mountain setting delivers genuine seasonal variation—summers are cool, autumns are vivid, and the surrounding ridges provide a scenic backdrop that any comparable coastal plain facility would envy. The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal's upper terminus at Cumberland and the Great Allegheny Passage trail's southern anchor give the broader area an outdoor recreation identity that extends well beyond golf.
