River Marsh Golf Club - Hyatt Chesapeake Bay
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.

A amazing day on this beautiful course!
We played this course for the first time on a beautiful fall day where things we pretty wide open for a weekday. We got off ahead of schedule and played as a twosome. The course was in outstanding condition even after the heavy rains of late. The fairways were generous, the hazards manageable to steer clear of and the greens ran true with no unexpected surprises. About 70 miles from my house this course was well worth the scenic drive across the Bay bridge. There are a lot of risk/reward shots out here waiting for you to decide on. I enjoyed the round, the staff was super friendly and conditions were perfect for a getaway round of golf. You won't be disappointed you booked here and enjoyed a incredibly scenic and fun course.
Interesting and fair course.
My wife and I like discourse on September 27, 28 and 29. The conditions were excellent as was the weather. The course is very fair, interesting, and have some really beautiful holes. We stayed at the Hyatt hotel on the golf package and the hotel conditions and food were first great. I highly recommend it for a golf getaway.
Back at river marsh
We had a good time, play there a lot. What I don't understand we got there a bit early and there is no one on the first hole. Wide open asked if we can get out early. Answer is no. Second time this happened. Group showed up late and then everyone behind them runs late. They had 2 holes open when they teed off. Don't get it. Why not bump people up until they show. Poor time mgmt
No chipping area
They have a bit far chipping area but It is ONLY open for members. Never encounter such rule in any other course. Stupid policy.
Blowing in the wind
I have played this course several times over the years. Staff is always friendly. Course is consistantly in good shape. Love the layout. Only a few challenging holes.
Nice resort course
Nice resort course. Appears to only be built with carts in mind, walking would be a stretch due to distance between some greens and next tees, etc. For the most part a generous fairway width as a lot of resort courses are which is fair and helps with the varied skill levels. Course was a little wet, not sure if that is normal or time of year, etc. Greens rolled pretty well even though wet and a little chewed up due to damp conditions and foot traffic around the hole. Got lucky with a great deal on a tee time website so felt like an amazing value. Carts included the gps with yardage to center of greens and stuff so that helped to quickly grab a club for everyone in the group. All in all a very nice facility and beautiful finishing hole along the riverfront , let alone at twilight, it was a great finish, even if my score did not look at pretty.
Nice resort course
The course has a nice layout, though conditions could have been better. Greens had been punched a week or so prior, but puts still rolled well. Starting to get crabgrass and some weeds creeping into the fairways and rough. Tee boxes were pretty rough. Not moving the tee markers enough.
No ranger miserable day
Started w no one on first tee group on the green. So instead of letting us go we waited while the late 5 some got to the tee. Stuck behind a 5 some and a drunk 4 Some that cut between us on 10. I have played here multiple times and it was ridiculous. Ruined an expensive Labor Day round.
This golf course has amazing views
The River Marsh Golf Club has amazing views right on the water. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful making it a great golfing experience. The golf carts all had GPS and a cooler filled with ice. The golf course maintenance was overall very good with only a couple downfalls, the tee boxes had a lot of crab grass and the rough was thick and just tall enough to make it hard to find your ball. The wildlife found on the golf course was very surprising with rabbits, wild turkeys, whitetail deer, and foxes. The course had some challenging shots over the water. Overall great golf course and staff!
Course in great shape except for one item
Tees, fairways and greens in great shape. Bunkers need to be raked. Looks like they haven’t been raked for some time since there were gullies in the sand on a few of them
Fairways are very wide making this a very forgiving course. Couple of long par 3 and over 400 yard par 4’s from the blue tees but still not very difficult.
Would play the course again and will recommend it.
