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.

Beautiful, fast

We played as a twosome teeing off at noon and finishing in just under 3 hours with no need to play through other groups. Greens were in good shape, most bunkers were not maintained, and the rough was a little overgrown. No problem with new protocols, and everyone at the course was very friendly and helpful.

Nice round

Nice enough course, but conditions weren’t great. Very nice track for multiple skill level. It is tiring to walk because of long distances between tees, fyi.

Not Ready

I heard this was a nice course. Drove 100 miles to get there. I realized the course just opened last week. This course wa not managed, when closed. Grass cut haphazardly, bunkers were unplayable. Tree limbs and other debris could have been picked up. No advance warning of course conditions when checking in. Will not return.

First Round after Coviad-19

AS usual course in pretty good shape.

Greens looked fast, but were slower than normal.

Fairways very good cut tight.

Forget bunkers right now.

Tee Boxes good.

An Eastern Shore must

Maryland’s Eastern Shore has great golf course offerings, and although most of them are on the Atlantic Coast, River Marsh located in Cambridge, is a wonderful experience. The course can challenge any level with 5 sets of tees, some subtle elevations, changing winds, but also generously wide fairways.

17 & 18 are two great finishing holes!

Staff is Friendly & helpful making the venue a “must play” stop if you’re heading to or from Ocean City. Also an easy day trip from the Baltimore Washington areas

We will definitely play there again!

Great course

Well maintained, great staff, course is well taken care of.

I typically only get the chance to play the Hyatt in the winter, and the course never disappoints. Course is still in great shape and shows no harsh signs of winter. With the golf now deal you receive, playing this course is a no brainer.

Some of the course amenities are down due to the slow season but this doesent hinder the course in anyway.

Beautiful course

End of December and recent rains meant unusual situations for this course...driving range closed and fairways/bunkers did not play well. But this is a scenic course and the greens were in great condition.

Aniversary round

Played this course with my wife on our 55th weddding aniversary. Weather was perfect and the course was in excelent condition. We may have passed our prime as golfers but found the course fair and no-intimidating for our skill level. We tee'd off in late morning and were not held up nor pushed by others playing the course. Bag boys/girls and cart girls were pleasent and accomidating as were all the staff we encountered. Accomidations at the resort are first class and I would recommend staying and playing here.

Wonderful experience

I can’t say enough about this course. The course is beautiful, the surrounding area is beautiful, and Max is an amazing pro in the pro shop.

From the minute I pulled up until we completed our round, it was an amazing experience.

This is the best course that I have ever played on. And, with the deals you get from Golfnow it is unbeatable. The 17th and 18th holes alone are worth the entire price of admission :-)

nice course with beauty

Played today for first time in two years at River Marsh. The course is in good condition, and the greens were really nice. Some very challenging par 3s. This is a course where you can have a great round if you keep the ball in the fairways. Winds made it challenging today, with some heavy crosswinds and winds in your face off the tees. Several very picturesque holes and lots of wildlife made this a relaxing round though.
