River Marsh Golf Club - Hyatt Chesapeake Bay

Other than the greens having some divot marks, and running a little slow, course was in good shape.

Conditions are great! (Except sand traps)

Whoever came up with putting a stake on fringe at depth of flag on green needs a raise! Even knowing pin position they were very helpful. Every course should do that.

Was a blistering hot day and they had a cart come around with free water and cold towels! Thanx!!!

Nice meal at their Blue Point restaurant after our round.

I shot an 89 which made it even better!!!

This course is not what it used to be. It is overgrown, the rough is filled with clover and overgrown. The pace of play is ridiculous and the ranger was present only after we called. We ran into a 7-some on 6 that we were waiting on the tee box for and they wouldn’t let us play through, so we passed them. Then, we ran into a twosome on 7 in which one person was coaching and lining up every single shot for the next person including spending no short of 5 minutes with him ON the tee box while we were trying to be nice and wait, so we passed them…then we ran into a 6-some and that is when my husband absolutely had it. This was all on the front nine. We called in, they seemed surprised. If the ranger was truly making rounds, it would have been evident. Just upsetting to pay that much money and have that kind of experience. I talked this course up to my son as we took him there for his birthday, it was absolutely beautiful when we played there 7/2/2022 and it was a less than desire able experience today…golf is an 80% mental sport and waiting for every single shot gets you out of tempo, not to mention the frustration when other people have absolutely ZERO golf etiquette. The cart girl stopped her rounds at 1:30, before we even teed off and she told us it was her last round so if we wanted anything, we needed to get it. The brand new carts are nice though!

The course was in excellent condition. Challenging and fun.

One of the prettiest and best maintained course I have ever played. Really fun and challenging layout. Only downside was the clubhouse bar was never open when I wanted a drink. 9 1/2 out of ten overall. Strongly recommend!

Call ahead to make sure food is being served. Nothing like showing up to a high dollar course with the intention of eating your lunch there and all grills an kitchen closed. Very annoying, frustrating for a type 1 diabetic.

Second time playing this Hyatt location, I wasn’t happy last time so I figured I would give it another chance two years later but it was exactly the same …the greens were in good condition but that was the only thing ..the bunkers were bad not raked footprints from animals in everyone, the fairways were not great , the rough was more weeds than rough … for as much as they charge and it being associated with Hyatt one would think it would be a top notch course but far from it ..save your time and money and go somewhere else .. I’m never going back

Beautiful course. Well maintained greens and fairways. The challenge on this course is the rough! The only issue I had with the course is much of the rough, which was super high, was infested with clover. It's one challenge to play out of high rough but more so when there's clover and your game gets distracted while searching for your white ball!!

The course itself can be challenging due to its exposure to wind. The tee shot on 17th hole, particularly, was challenging with its carry over water and a 2-club more into the wind. There were a few holes which your driver is limited due to the end of the fairway before a hazard area. The greens are in great condition and run fast! Some tee boxes are worn as there must not have an irrigation system. Same true for the practice area. Very worn practice tees. There was no starter which can create issues as we experienced when a group late to arrive jumped ahead of us on the first hole. There also is no roaming ranging to keep pace of play. Our roam should have been quicker but one group caused us to wait for 16 of 18 holes. There was a roaming cart that have beverages but no substantive food. You’d need to get that in the clubhouse which the course doesn’t go nearby. Lastly, no OnCourse bathroom. No a big deal for guys, but is one for women.
