Golf in Oakland

Oakland is the seat of Garrett County at the heart of Maryland's mountain resort country, a city of about 2,000 permanent residents that expands dramatically when the four-season tourist economy brings visitors to Deep Creek Lake, Swallow Falls, and the Allegheny highland trails. At over 2,500 feet above sea level, Oakland experiences genuine mountain climate with regular snowfall, brilliant fall foliage, and summer temperatures that draw heat refugees from the Mid-Atlantic lowlands. Oakland Golf Course serves the local residential community alongside the resort visitor base, providing recreational golf in a setting where the mountain landscape is the primary attraction regardless of which outdoor activity frames the day.
