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.

My time here
Beautiful course even know i played during early spring can't wait to play during the summer. Bring your sunscreen there's alot sandtraps
hyatt fun as always
cart path only due to massive rains day before so we walked. was tough but good for the soul!
nobody is repairing fairway divots, we spend all day putting them back (luckily were fresh and totally wet) we didn't have seed/sand with us.
greens in good shape, bunkers still need raking - they told me they are finally getting more staff on board so expect things to get back to normal before long...
A Real Gem
This course is always in great shape and the layout is generous but interesting. 17 and 18 are two of the best holes you'll play anywhere!
Better than a few years ago
For the golf now rate, this is great. Wide fairways, large greens, in good
shape for this time of year.
Great experience
About an hour and a half drive. Wish it was closer so I could play more. A lot of nice courses out there but what made this different were the people. Lady at the front desk was extremely nice and the starter and cart girl were just as pleasant. Starter came around and bought us a drink just for pace of play being a little slow. We didn’t care it was beautiful out and wasn’t that slow anyway. I will be back for sure. Eastern shore is just a different world and I love it.
Better shape than it has been
A relatively easy course to play. Very wide fairways and large greens. A variety of tees to choose from. The views can be wonderful. It got a bit run down due to lack of maintenance during Covid, but seems to be recovering. A great bargain during slow season. A sign said the restaurant/ grill would be reopening April 1.
70 degrees in February!
not cart path only!
staff always super friendly
course always a blast
greens are not in good shape but hey it's middle of winter! fairways are decent. bunkers need a raking. but overall excellent...
spent half of day picking up other people's trash and fixing their pitch marks on the greens - ugh.
Great layout with nice greens
This is a $50-75 course all day. Greens were true despite recent aeration Lots of blind shots but carts have GPS so pay attention to yardages. Couple long Par 3’s and I didn’t play the tips. Scenery is an A+ and 17 and 18 are too of the best finishing holes I’ve ever seen. If you are headed to the beach via Route 50 and are looking to play, Marsh Island will not disappoint. I am looking forward to returning in the spring when everything is green.
River Marsh
Nice track pace of play was very slow. The driving range wasn’t open. Greens were decent, fairway was in good condition, overall a nice course would love to play again. The price was fantastic.
Hyatt Golf
The course was nice for the discounted rate - tee boxes a little shabby.
