Clustered Spires Golf Club Scott Peterson, General Manager and Head Golf Professional Open since 1991, Clustered Spires Golf Club is a public golf course owned by the City of Frederick. Comprising 185 acres, the club offers a three-tier, all-natural turf tee area, two practice putting greens, a practice bunker, hitting mats, an 18-hole course and a well-stocked pro shop. Scott Peterson is the head golf professional and general manager at Clustered Spires. He began working there part-time in 2012, and was promoted to his current position in 2015. He manages all golf course operations, inventory, merchandise, tournament operations, food and beverage, camps, clinics and a staff of 52 employees (6 of whom are fulltime, others are seasonal). Peterson truly loves golf; his favorite part of this job is the opportunity to be outside regularly. He’s a completely self-taught player, and says he’s had a lot of practice over the years, and it never ends.
Clustered Spires is located along the Monocacy River on Gas House Pike, about 2 miles from Downtown Frederick. It has been given a 4-star rating from “Golf Digest” and was voted a top-10 course in Maryland in “Washington Golf Monthly.” The Monocacy River surrounds the golf course on three sides, creating a beautiful setting while providing a natural barrier from outside distractions. Clustered Spires received its name from the grouping of five distinct church steeples that make up the clustered spires of Frederick city’s skyline. Peterson teaches adults in private and group settings and especially enjoys summer camps at the golf course, where he helps to teach kids the fundamentals of the sport in a fun setting, passing on his passion to another generation.
