Situated along the shores of the Potomac River in southern Maryland, Swan Point Country Club has been ranked as one of the top 10 golf courses in the state. Golfers who enjoy playing in the Carolinas will feel right at home on this course. Water or marshland comes into play on 12 holes and there is an abundance of pine trees. The course is also home to a variety of wildlife including osprey, bald eagles, and deer. In addition to the water, strategically placed bunkers add another challenging element to the golf course. The par-5 fourth hole is considered the signature, mostly due to the challenging island green. Proper club selection is key in order to maneuver past the lake that runs along the entire left side of the fairway. The hole is especially hard on windy days.

Wet but really fast greens

First time I played here. Really liked the course layout. Guy I played with, Allen, works there and was really nice and helpful . Course was very wet to the point that the ball plugged on several holes. Expected maybe for this time of year. The greens were by far the nicest and fastest I have played all year. I mean really fast! I would definitely recommend to others and I will be back next summer after pandemic.

Wet but Wonderful

The layout of the course is lovely as it winds around marshes and water associated with the creeks and river in the area. However, being at sea level, even after some dry weather there were bogs all over the fairways creating a great number of lift, clean, and place situations as well as quite a number of unplayable lies. There was no run out of drives or long irons and quite a number of plugged balls in the fairways. The greens are quick; contoured and quick! Challenging certainly.

I was surprised by the course conditions...

I was surprised by the course conditions and not in a positive way. Swan Point has always been in excellent condition...has typically rivaled some private courses; however, this is the first time I've ever seen it this wet, soggy, muddy, and nearly unplayable. It was cart path only, but we still saw people running all over the fairways--and getting stuck so others in their group had to push the cart to get it unstuck. We walked--the course is flat and very walkable...normally. However, with the soggy course conditions, it was difficult to walk because you would have to walk around large patches of "bog" in the middle of the fairway, or sink up to your ankle in all the soggy, soft areas. It was just not a pleasant experience today. In fairness to the course, the course layout is a nice challenge and has great views of the water throughout. There are some really pretty par 3's (#11 and #12), and there's water on 12 out of 18 holes. It was a good pace of play today, even with a couple of group of walkers (because the course is stretched out with lots of walking green to the next tee...not because walkers are slow!!). It's a great course, but it really needs more TLC--I've never seen it this soggy, wet and muddy, so I don't know what's changed in their maintenance.

Excellent course!

This is an excellent course with fabulous views and a great layout. This was my first time playing the course. The course was very wet and muddy so the conditions were not optimal. I will play again very soon when the course dries out. It's also a great layout to walk and enjoy the course.

Left after 9 - pace of play - place has tons a potential

Wife and I drove over from Fairfax... This place is no doubt a hidden gem but, conditions were less than ideal due to recent rain and I’m guessing how close to sea level the course is. It’s right on the water.. very saturated, balls were plugging in the fairways every shot.

The layout is top notch - really they have something special, I’d need to come back on an early summer day 1st group out. After two weeks of no rain.

No Marshalls checking on pace - 2.5 hours to finish the front - I left and didn’t bother asking for a rain check. Two groups in front of us were early 20 something college bros making a total mockery of the game with no regard for anyone else on the course.

This place has truckloads of potential to be something really special. Going to give it another shot next summer.

Conditions worsening

Have played this course over the last 25 years or so about 10 times w most of them being longer than 5 years ago. Well I’m the last 5 years this course conditions have gotten bad. Lots of cart paths are broken and the course doesn’t drain water at all. Also when I paid for the round on GolfNow unbeknownst to me cart fees were not included. Very unsatisfied with this golf course. The only thing I enjoyed were the greens are still in great shape but I think the greenskeeper was mad at someone because the pins were in the toughest spots on the green on like 14 out of the 18 holes.

Now charging for carts??

I booked a tee time online which said included carts and ).00 due at the golf course. When i got there they charged me 19.00 to use a cart. I've played this course 50 times and they said it was a new policy.

Misleading because online cart was included. Not happy

Great layout!

Best public course around. Greens could use some work a little slow but it’s wet so could be the reason.

Play the right tees

I always try to stop here on my way to southern Maryland,. Good layout and scorecard gives you many options to play the right tees for an enjoyable round. It was cart path only after much rain so walked the course which is a very doable with just a few long walks from green to tee. Other than wet course it is in good shape and if in the area worth the detour.

Best value in the area

Played swan point for $25 dollars on a hot deal. Greens are the best I have ever seen them and I have played the course 10+ times. The views alone from the golf course makes it worth the money. By far the best golf course in southern maryland. The cups even featured a mechanism that let the ball fall in the hole and touch-less retrieval. The range is grass and make it a pleasure to warm-up. Overall a great experience

Nice Course lame pricing via TeeOff.

Swann Point is a beautiful and challenging course and the staff are very welcoming. . I enjoy playing it.

I was disappointed, however, when I learned that TeeOff postEd a price of $35 and after a 20% discount brought the price down to $27 for a walking rate. But the reality is, $27 is Swann Points standard walking rate. I felt that I had been scammed. It made me very disappointed in TEEOFf, which I used to use quite often. Nothing like this ever happened to me prior to the merger with GolfNow. Not t sure what you guys are thinking about but I prefer dealing with business relationships that are trustworthy. You lost some points with me after this experience.
