River Marsh Golf Club - Hyatt Chesapeake Bay

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.

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.
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.
