Golf in Towson

Towson is the de facto capital of Baltimore County, home to county government, Towson University, and a commercial and retail district that functions as the county's downtown despite never having incorporated as a city. Country Club of Maryland serves this established community in the mature suburban corridor between the Baltimore Beltway and the Northern Parkway, providing private golf for a residential base that has been here since Baltimore County's first suburban wave of development in the 1920s and 1930s. Towson's combination of governmental function, university presence, and mature residential fabric gives it a distinct identity within the Baltimore metropolitan area—suburban in form but urban in density and institutional weight.
