Rating 73.0

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.

Great course but aerated

My third time playing the course was only dampened by the recent aeration which I wasn’t informed about. It had a week or so to go before it healed so the outs were bumpy. I would definitely play there again because I know the course that it can be but I will make it a point to ask about the aeration before making a teetime.

Maintenance

I have played this course dozens of times. Well kept couse. Most recent trip, the fairways haven't filled in yet and the greens were recently punched and sanded. Bumpy and slow. That's to be expected.

Course was in relatively good shape considering winter conditions continue.

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