Shortest golf courses on record in Maryland

The 50 shortest golf courses on record in Maryland run from 2,461 yards at Henson Creek Golf Course in Oxon Hill to 6,866 yards. Many are par-3 or executive layouts — short by design, made for a quick round, beginners, or practice. They are drawn from the 73 Maryland courses with a reliable published yardage — 46% of the 158 listed here; the median across that group is 6,751 yards. The rest carry no published yardage, so a shorter course may not appear on this list.
