Wisp Resort

About Wisp Resort

You'll find this mountain resort course carved into the rolling hills of western Maryland's Allegheny Mountains, where elevation changes and dramatic terrain create a memorable round that feels worlds away from typical mid-Atlantic golf. The layout takes full advantage of the natural topography, with several holes playing significantly uphill or downhill and offering panoramic views across the surrounding valleys. The mountain setting means you're dealing with cooler temperatures and potentially tricky wind conditions, but also some genuinely spectacular scenery that makes even a rough round enjoyable. What sets Wisp apart is its resort atmosphere combined with surprisingly decent golf for a mountain track – the 4.2 rating from nearly 3,000 reviews suggests they're doing something right with course conditions and overall experience. The walking-friendly policy is a nice touch, though you'll want to consider whether your legs are ready for the elevation changes before passing on a cart. It's the kind of course that works well as part of a weekend getaway rather than a destination purely for the golf, but the mountain character and solid conditioning make it worth playing if you're in the Deep Creek Lake area.
