River Marsh Golf Club - Hyatt Chesapeake Bay
Rating Snapshot
About
The Hyatt River Marsh Golf Club is Maryland's leading Eastern Shore golf course. The classic design incorporates challenging elements including sculpted bunkers and mature trees but balances them with wide, player-friendly fairways and inviting greens. Water has a prominent presence on the course with Shoal Creek meandering through the course and the Choptank River serving as a backdrop to many of the greens. The riverside golf course has the look and feel of a seaside links course. The final two holes are the golf course's most memorable. The par-3 17th requires a dramatic carry over Shoal Creek to a large green strategically guarded by three bunkers. The 17th is a challenging and scenic hole but it only sets the scene for Hyatt River Marsh Golf Club's final hole. Touted as one of the best holes in the Mid-Atlantic region, this classic risk-reward par 5 has a bunker and the Choptank River running its entire length.

River Marsh Golf Course
Course was in very good shape considering all the rain the last few days. Golf now rate was $47.00 Hot Deal which was great. Pace of play was really good didn’t have to wait on any holes. Carts were allowed on all fairways, cart paths are in very good condition. Staff were very friendly.
love the layout
Course was in good shape considering all the rain. Half way through changed it from cart path only to 90 degree.
Only bummer group in front was slow thought they were in a pga tourney. wish there was a marshal
.
Is there a better value within 50 miles ?
What a fun course in to play. Lots of bunkers and wonderful views . Fast Greens so watch out . Is there a better value within 50 miles ? NO ... I drove over from Delaware to play this course and glad I did .
Beautifful course in good condition
My first time here. Got a great deal for $35 when everyone else is asking at least $40 during the week. Beautiful course with a breath-taking 17 and 18. Sand nice and soft but there is plenty of it. Had a great round
Great Course Beautiful Views
This course is in great condition. Fairways were lush and green rolled true.
The views of the River and scenery were awesome.
Pace was a little slow at first, but the back was much quicker.
Got a great deal of $48 to play there today. Course usually goes in the mid 80’s. Great value today for a great course.
Must play if you are on the Shore
In decent shape. Will ge great once grass grows
Not wet anymore. Hole two needs a “all clear” system our cart got struck by a teed ball from a blind shot. Nice bathroom layout. Sand needs raking.
Not my last play here
Still winter conditions made the greens awfully slow I couldn’t get used to the whole round. In a month I will replay allowing the grass to green up and greens to be in tournament condition. Loved the layout.
Finally dried out!!!
Dried out and thankfully not cart path only anymore. Signs of grass healing also. Bunkers have been worked on too. Hopefully they will put in more spring maintenance and keep this course the beauty she is.
