When the BMW Championship returns to Caves Valley Golf Club this week, the stage will feel both familiar and brand new. The Maryland club, site of Patrick Cantlay’s unforgettable six-hole playoff win over Bryson DeChambeau in 2021, has since undergone a Tom Fazio-led renovation aimed at elevating its standing among the game’s elite. In this edition of Playing 18, TGJ Brand Manager Casey Bannon takes on the refreshed test at one of the game’s most exclusive layouts in full tournament trim.
Set in the rolling hills of Owings Mills, Caves Valley blends championship pedigree with an unwavering commitment to excellence. Founded in 1991, the club has long catered to an ultra-select membership while supporting programs like First Tee Greater Baltimore and the Evans Scholars Foundation. Its renovation brought added length, reimagined holes and precision air systems beneath every green to ensure flawless conditions. This week, the best players in the world will see just how far it’s come.
