River Marsh Golf Club - Hyatt Chesapeake Bay

Course was in relatively good shape considering winter conditions continue.

Zoysia grass hasn’t turned green yet but greens & tees were ok

First this is my home course. Last summer they cleared the fairways and tee boxes to go from bent to bermuda grasses. It is trying to take hold, but we had a very dry summer and fall, and a cold winter, and so far this spring has been cold. So the course is sort of neglected since there isn't much you can do for now-------, but in sure it will perk up soon. Sand traps are not racked, no rakes available and are hard. Most greens were ok, some need attention, but once again it's winter time still, so not expecting much. Got it on a "hot-deal" price so hard to pass up at the heavily reduced rate. ($36). Looking forward to it coming around, and it was still fun to play regardless.

Great round, given that it is February. I was able to get around quickly, as few folks play when it is only 45 degrees out.

The course was wet as a result of past snow and recent rain. Experienced standing water on some of the fairways. The greens were also bumpy and slow as they had not had a chance to tend to them for some time, understandably so. Bunkers had not been raked, and oddly enough, I didn't see any rakes. They were hard.

The course was definitely playable. All the regular tee boxes were in play and no temporary greens, which is a huge plus.

I was intimidated to play this course because I am a scratch golfer. It was actually a very fun course with the right amount of hazards and fairway widths to allow players like me to enjoy , but with some challenges for better players.

I played on New Year's Day. It had been raining a lot, so the course was (very) wet in spots. That being said, this course drains better than most courses. They changed over to Bermuda grass in July/August and it is dormant at the moment. The bunkers had not been raked.

Although I walked, my playing partner took a cart and it was cart-path only. The GPS tracker was off, so he had to drive in reverse in places to go forward. Very frustrating. We saw the group in front of us drive in reverse across the bridge to the 17th hole. I am sure it was just a glitch.

The front desk staff was great, as always.

This course is good layout and nice view. Club house service was very kindly. I will play again.

Quite enjoyable day of golf with a surprise awaiting our group on the 18th green. Parents looking down from an hill behind over the green watching their 3 young kids running in circles on the green near the flag. Took about 7-8mins of waving and eventually yelling at the parents from 150 yards away to get them to clear the course so no risk of them getting hit and approach shots could be hit. Come on parents, you need to be better than that! I did let the clubhouse know and they sent someone to address the situation.

Course was in great shape and pace of play was the best I have ever seen it.
