Golf in Upper Marlboro

Upper Marlboro is the seat of Prince George's County, a small community that functions as the administrative hub for one of Maryland's most populous counties. The county courthouse, government complex, and Showplace Arena give Upper Marlboro an outsized institutional importance relative to its modest size. Oak Creek Golf Club provides recreational golf in a community experiencing growth as residential development extends southward through the county's central corridor. The surrounding countryside—former tobacco farmland transitioning to residential use—provides the open character that defines this part of Prince George's County's interior, and the Patuxent River watershed's upper tributaries create natural topographic features throughout the area.
