Holly Hills Country Club was founded in 1977 by local business man, M. Robert Ritchie, Jr.
Mr. Ritchie recognized the need for a private club in Frederick and developed the land once known as Wild Cat Hills into a championship golf course and private club.
In 2021, Holly Hills remains a private country club dedicated to ensuring each member, their family and guests the finest in sport, recreation, dining, entertainment and personal service.
