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.

An Amazing course!

I've seen photos of the course but once I was there, I could see that the photos were spot-on. Check-in was simple and easy and since there weren't many teetimes around my time, I got to go out an hour early, which meant I could take my time and actually work on my game. I don't usually play courses of this level, so for me, the course was phenomenal! The next time I'm in the area, I will absolutely play there again.

Very nice course

Very nice, we happened to go out the day after 2 inches of rain. And so very wet, cart path only. Bunkers were washed out. I have golfed there before and is usually in great shape.

River Marsh Golf Club Cambridge MD

I have played several times in the last month. The staff is excellent, on course their is usually a beverage cart. Water and ice is provided. The bar hasn't been open on any of the days I played. Great layout, on the shore of the Choptank as it merges with the Chesapeake. Plenty of water, marsh and hazards to boost your score. The sand trips need some love.

New grass taking root

Last season they reseeded the entire course and it is taking root still. It is in good shape right now, and will only get better. It’s a beautiful course that has done absolutely breathtaking holes. If you play at twilight rates it is a phenomenal deal.

Aceman

Tough conditions with blinding rain & wind during about 6 holes during the round!!

Course was in generally good shape & is always a challenging blast to play.

Staff are always super friendly, courteous & polite.

The only draw back about the course is the homes they are building adjacent to many fairways taking away the ambience of an links course
