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.

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.

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.
