Golf in Spencerville

Spencerville is a Montgomery County community in the upper Patuxent watershed near the Howard County line, a transitional area between the county's dense suburban core and its protected agricultural reserve. Hampshire Greens Golf Course provides county-operated recreational golf in a setting that benefits from the open landscape character of the reserve boundary—farmland and stream corridors preserved by the county's agricultural easement program. Route 108 between Burtonsville and Ellicott City runs through Spencerville, connecting the community to both county centers and providing access to the broader recreational geography of the Patuxent watershed. The Patuxent River State Park and the Brighton Dam area contribute substantial natural open space to the Spencerville corridor, giving the community a greener character than its proximity to Montgomery County's dense suburban core might suggest.
