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.

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.
First Rate Facility
Always a great day at River Marsh. Great layout, nice staff and challenging. Will improve once they open the clunhouse.
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.
Awesome course
I have been playing the course about 5 years now and it never disappoints us. Great course layout and beautiful views of the area.
One of my favorites
River Marsh at the Hyatt Cambridge is one of my favorite courses in MD. It takes me over 1 hour & 30 minutes to get there & it is worth it. It has a challenging & scenic lay out. Course just opened back up because of all the snow & it was in really good shape but wet because of the snow. Shot 79. Almost had hole in one on #17 which is a tough hole. It was playing 230 with wind in your face from the blue tees. Looking forward to when the restaurant opens up. Good crab cake at the restaurants on property.
great course
One of my favorite places to play. The layout is interesting and the pace of play is always good..

Played today. Nice weather around 52 sunny, 6MPH winds.
Course was soft and wet in many areas.
But only a few stay on cart path.
Green were disappointing. Not nearly as nice as before.
Very Slow and spongy.
Considering weather conditions, course was very playable. Thanks, grounds-crew.
Love the hyatt course
Another fun day at the Hyatt. Course is soaking muddy wet. But not their fault. Oddly not much wildlife out today but 54 degrees was good enough for us!!!
Date was 1/2/21 but won’t allow to submit with that date.
Winter Conditions
