River Marsh Golf Club - Hyatt Chesapeake Bay
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Tee box and green in good condition
Big improvement from couple years ago in terms of course condition especially tee box and green. Played in the afternoon in 100 degree so course was pretty empty so no issue with pace. Friendly staff. I will visit again.
Always a pleasure to play River Marsh
We always enjoy playing River Marsh two to three times per year. The layout is fantastic. The course conditions are as good as they could possibly be. Here’s my complaint. A large number of people that play this course make zero effort to repair their ball narks on the greens or divots in the fairways. I feel for the course superintendent. That person is doing all they can to make this a premier course only to watch it be carved up by a disrespectful public.
One of my favorites!
What a perfect day and excellent course! Of course #17 is my favorite, even if I don’t get over every time ha!. The staff is so welcoming and friendly. From check in to leaving after my round, the staff make it easy and enjoyable. I played on Saturday 6/1, finished just around 4 hours, maybe a little over but no complaints, it was a GORGEOUS day and everyone wanted to be out on the course. It’s expected and glad to see the place is busy! To the reviewer of “course sucked” on 5/20, did you select the wrong course to review??? Dude must have had a bad day or was playing his worst round because this course was in top shape! And the director, is LPGA…pretty sure she’s played golf. Definitely play this course!
Great job
I play out here pretty frequently and it's always fantastic. Very friendly and helpful staff as well.
Great day of golf
Very nice golf course, staff was friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the round
Canadien Geese
Geese everywhere, especially on16 where they and there droppings are destroying the fairways and greens. Desperately needs the geese police.
Course sucked
New we were in trouble when we went to putting green and it was ankle high clover. After 1st 9 holes we stopped in to ask for refund as the course rough hadn't been mowed in at least a week. Women in pro shop says" just hit it in the fairway " and blew us off. After finishing 10th hole a loosing 1 dozen balls in 6inch high rough the Director of Golf Abby met us with grounds supervisor. She expressed she's never played golf but the course was perfect and it was mowed 3 days prior. Are foursome is a very good of golfers with one having a son on the PGA tour so we know quality course's. Finally the groundskeeper admitted there budget only allows rough mowing 7-10 days and Abby was desperately trying to entice us with free rounds. Btw we saw a total of 9 golfers on the entire course. Do your self a favor just go to queenstown, cheaper and always in top condition.
Great Course
Great round on a beautiful scenic golf course, conditions were great and the staff was helpful and friendly. Will be back to play again soon.
call first
I left after 9 holes which took over 3 and a half hours The paced sucked
TOUGH DAY
LOVE THE COURSE WOULD LIKE TO PLAY IT MOORE OFTEN. LAST TIME OUT THE WIND WAS THE BIG WINNER.
Greens Aerated
I completely understand the need for green aeration, but please don't tell me when I call ahead that the greens are healed and rolling great. They were not healed and the holes still seemed pretty fresh. My friends drove almost 2 hours to meet me there after I called earlier in the week to ask about the greens.
Windy day
Fun course, the wind was 20+ MPH, greens were recently aerated. I would definitely play here again.
The movie is from 17 ... Fun hole.
