River Marsh Golf Club - Hyatt Chesapeake Bay

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.

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.

Dec 23, 2020

So not to expect to much. Give 44degress 10MPH winds.

Course was wet, cart path only.

Greens were soft and spongy. Very Slow.

They finally removed all the crab grass from the bunkers!! Fairways pretty good. Greens good. Some scarring from long season. Great deal on golf now.

Saw eagle blue heron hawk wild turkeys deer!!

Starter was very nice unlike the one we had when we went in August.

We have not played this course since fall of 2019. We always enjoy the design of River Marsh although the course quality fluctuates. The greens were aerated three or four weeks ago and provide a less than consistent putting service. One of my pet peeves of some resort courses are the numerous un-repaired ball marks on the greens. I must have repaired 59 myself today. The bunkers have been all but abandoned during this COVID period. The fairways were okay but it is November so understandable. Considering all the rain this area has dealt with over the past 90 days the course is in decent but not stellar condition.

The staff has been cut due to Covid and it is still in good shape considering their staff needs! A lot of rain and not a lot of staff makes it hard to keep the course great. Some burnt greens, but still not lost. Great pace on most of them!

The course, after 2+ feet of rain in 2 months, is in such great shape! Not to mention in the midst of the pandemic the staff was cut to one person doing the course management. There are a few burn sports on greens and a few fairways with drown spots, but considering their situation they course was excellent. The greens rolled at a great pace even a day after. This course is fun because the fairways are wide, but it challenges the golfer to chose wise shots off the tee a lot with dog legs and hazards.

Too back the front nine was closed and had to just play the back nine twice. Because of the rain, cart paths only, and was very wet.

The course was in very good shape given the amount of wet weather we have had recently. The greens and the bunkers were in excellent shape. Some of the fairways are still a little wet overall though it is one of the best courses in the area.

We arrived 45 minutes early and the staff was friendly and told us to go ahead as there was very little play booked. Course condition was good except for the bunkers that were for the most part unkept. The course has recovered from the poor conditions in July-August. Fairways were soft due to heavy rain 2 days earlier but in good condition. Carts were 90 degrees.

Even though there were very few golfers, we saw the beverage cart 4 times.

Bottom line, excellent value on a Hot Deal.
