Go for the green.

Good to Know

Questions you might ask.

What airport should I fly into?

BWI (Baltimore/Washington International) is the closest major airport to Turf Valley Resort. There is no airport shuttle available — please plan accordingly.

Can I play the course while I'm there?

What is a plus-one?

A plus-one is anyone joining you for the meetings and meals — usually a business partner or spouse. They don't need to work in the business, but understanding what you're building tends to help move things forward at home.

Can I extend my stay?

Yes — the discounted room block rate is offered for 3 days before and 3 days after the event, based on availability.

What do I need to bring?

Yourself, and your plus-one if you registered one. Come ready to work — bring whatever numbers or questions you want the room's eyes on.

Is there parking at the resort?

Yes, on-site parking is available at Turf Valley Resort. Rate details will be confirmed closer to the event.
