The Gunpowder Golf Course is an 18 hole, par 70 course that’s great for people who love the challenge of a true Scottish-style green that meanders through hills, valleys and woods. Not only that, but it’s a bargain at only $22 on weekends and $17 during the week for walkers.

The course has been open for more than fifty years and it remains challenging to this day. The fairways are narrow, adding a degree of difficulty for even the most talented golfers. Of course, novices still enjoy the course too, and Gunpowder Golf Course has a couple of on-site pros to give private lessons and group lessons to golfers of all skill levels.

Self-serve frozen yogurt shops are the latest dessert trend to sweep the country, and Ellicott City’s Tutti Frutti is one of the most popular in the area. This modern shop is decorated with futuristic white furniture and a row of frozen yogurt dispensers offering a wide variety of flavors.

Tutti Frutti’s flavors include both tart and creamy classics like almond, cheesecake, and taro, and they also include soy yogurts and sorbets for those with milk allergies. Guests can serve themselves from the yogurt station and the expansive selection of toppings, and then the friendly staff weighs each bowl and calculates the cost by the ounce. Though the shop’s formula is similar to most other frozen yogurt places, regulars appreciate Tutti Frutti because of its high quality yogurt and its late-night hours.

Tutti Frutti is open 11 a.m. to midnight every day of the week.
