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.

Very good conditions

Even with the course just starting to emerge from winter, conditions were quite good.

One of my favorite Maryland courses

I always have an enjoyable time at this course. Holes 17 and 18 are my two favorites. Hole 18 is beautifully set adjacent to the scenic Choptank River and 17 is a challenging par three over a wide and lovely creek. Great amenities featuring a putting area and driving range with complementary balls, a nice bar and food service area, and there is even a golf simulator available to rent.

The staff is always courteous and friendly.

Good value for the money!

Winter Golf

Played on January 1 in 45 degree weather. Course was in excellent shape for middle of winter. Greens were aerated fairly recently but were almost back to normal. Pace of play was excellent. I was in the 3rd group off in the morning and the round took just over 3 hours. Love the layout of this course and will continue playing it

Put a 2-some in front of a 4-some

Overall good experience but we were a 2-some we were there early and first hole was wide open. 3 foursomes schedule to play in front of us they weren’t ready to tee off yet and I asked starter if we could tee off. She wouldn’t let us so we waited a half hour to play behind 3 foursomes. To add insult to injury we ended up getting paired w/ another 2-some. Nice folks but I would have much preferred to have played just w/ my brother as it was a special outing. Objective should b to get golfers on the course and if the 1st tee is open and u have an opportunity to put a 2-some in front of 4-some it’s a no brainer.

Why wait?

I was playing this course w/ my brother. 2nd or 3rd time for me 1st time for my brother who was visiting from out of town. We arrived about 30 min before our scheduled tee time of 11:36. Were informed that we would only b a 2-some which I prefer rather then play w/ total strangers. We putted a bit and there was a 3-some on 1st tee. Fast forward about 15 min no one on 1st tee, group that had teed off was now on 1st green. I spoke w/ woman who was checking people in and told her 1st hole was wide open and could we tee off. She informed me that we would have to wait for 3 foursomes who were scheduled ahead of us on the reservations. So we ended up waiting for those foursomes to tee off. We ended up teeing off about 10 minutes late and now we’re behind 3 foursomes. My brother teed off and as I’m about to hit my ball I notice the check-in woman approaching us to inform us that she was now putting a couple with us. They were friendly and we enjoyed playing with them but shouldn’t the objective b to get people out as soon as possible and if you have a 2some that is ready and the 1st hole is open let them tee off. Especially if there is an opportunity to get them out in front of 3 foursomes.
