Yes the CA golf courses are a great way to get started at an affordable price. Fairway Hills also has a Green League in the spring summer and fall that’s a great way to get time on the course with others at the beginner skill level, I highly recommend it.

A more expensive option is GolfTec in Ellicott City and they are a good way to refine your game as they have ways to video your swing so that you can work on specific things.
