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.

Such a Beautiful Course

Played the Course on Friday May 30th. My GF had stayed at the Hyatt Chesapeake on numerous occasions and played River Marsh during those stays. We decided to turn into the Resort to check on things and I decided to play a round at the GC. I was a Walk-on so the rate was $62.00 single player + $48.00 Cart Fee for 2 riders. She did not want to play so our Total Cost was $112.00. We followed 2 groups and we enjoyed the day looking at how this place has grown with Townhomes and Condo's. On the 2nd Hole, you will notice a row of T/H on the left, on the very end some of the homes at holes from hooked shots off the tees. SCARY!!. Upon heading to the 17th Tee, we noticed a plaque, which turned out to be a burial area of the previous residence back in 1935. We also came across another plaque which talked about the Plantation and Mansion. Such a historical place. The 17th, is a Par 3 across a small river, which played 184 to the pin. The 18th is a Par 5 with spectacular views of the Bay and the Hotel. When we got done, we decided to stop and have a late lunch. We decided we would plan a get away for the July 4th weekend back to the Hyatt at Cambridge.

River Marsh Golf Course

Staff was very pleasant during check in. Started promptly at our tee time. Course was not crowded. Pace of play was quick. Course was in excellent condition. Some holes were more challenging but basically the course was good for an intermediate golfer. Hole #18 is very scenic,

Beautiful course

Excellent course! Even with all the recent rain the course was not overly soggy. Greens were perfect, with one exception. While playing, wild turkeys were spotted, along with 8 or 10 deer. A very enjoyable day.

Beautiful course in great condition

The River Marsh Golf Club is a fantastic course. The golf course is in great condition except that some of the tee boxes need to recover from too many divots.

The layout is challenging because there is water lining the side of many holes and marsh land strategically placed across many fairways. However, the fairways are fairly wide so only strong slices of hooks will generally find major trouble.

The course is women friendly because the you never have to carry across marsh land off the red (carry across marsh land is still required in many fairways).

We will definitely play River Marsh again!!!

Great course and weather cooperated

The weather was to be hot and humid, but the cloud cover kept temperatures down. The course was in good condition although fairways were wet due to recent rains. The rough was very difficult due to it not being mowed. Greens were in fair shape, but speed did vary from one to another.

Good & Fun Course

I play this course 4 - 5 times a year. They're advertising $122/person on their site, this is not a $122 course, and if you're going to charge that much, at least have the course in "excellent" condition for those that may pay that much. The greens were really rough and hadn't healed from being aerated. Thanks to Golf Now only paid $45. Other than that, it's a good course to play....
