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.

Enjoyable Day

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.

Not a fan

I caught a hot deal for $50.. I wouldn’t pay a penny more for it either. The course was pretty average. Greens not in good shape. Not a huge fan of the layout either. Pace of play was terrible, but who really has a Marshall these days anyway. I wouldn’t play again unless it was like $30.

Hyatt fairways back in superb condition!

The new Bermuda in fairways has grown in and is super nice. The greens were very decent but not fantastic. Rough was decent a tad high but nothing bad. Super friendly staff as always and fun time. Don’t let the previous few months of bad reviews dissuade you. Go play it!
