Swan Point Yacht & Country Club
About
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.

Best value in the DMV!
Very challenging layout...course is a little spongy because of the rain and proximity to the bay. Overall, a competitive track with good greens.
Greens making a comeback!
Greens had recently taken a beating with this summers weather and were almost unplayable. Was ecstatic to see them coming back on this trip down to southern MD. Course was CPO due to continued wet conditions and while greens were a bit bumpy, they were worlds better. Fairways still in great shape considering amount of rain lately.
Swan Point on Veterans Day 2018
My first time playing this course, my friend had talked about this course for the past 4 or 5 years. Really nice layout, plenty of water, so hooks and slices will cost you heavily. I plan on going back when it's warm. Friendly staff.
nice course but not when its wet
I like the layout at Swan Point but the course needs some serious renovation. After it rains (and we have had a lot of rain the last few days) much of the course becomes simply way too wet to play. One is constantly moving one's golf ball to try and find some spot that is at least a little bit dry and not too muddy. They really should think about elevating much of the course so that it drains better than it now does.
Course is shot for this year
How unfortunate. This is/was a great course. Most of the greens are probably shot for the year. Probably too much rain and not enough sun have caused great bald spots on many of the greens. It would have been nice for the starter to at least mention the aeration and bad putting surface but he never did. Sure, you can't beat mother nature but at least let folks know the condition of the greens.
Lost Season
Swan Point is my normal "go to" course especially when you can get it on a great hot deal. Unfortunately, the course was never in top condition for the entire season. The tees are terrible and 85% of the greens are just as bad.
I don't know what has changed at Swan Point but the conditions are just terrible. I find it very odd that the course would spend money on renovating the pro shop while the course wastes away. Last time I checked customers don't play golf in the shop.
Very poor conditions - greens are gone
They have lost most of the greens here as of Sept 2018. Putting on bumpy dirt and sand is no fun. Fire the superintendent, close the place down and replace the greens.
Swan Point delivers great golf
First time playing Swan Point. Chose to play it on a hot deal, MAN WAS IT WORTH IT!!!
Course had excellent fairways and tee boxes. Very green and well manicured. Traps had nice light sand. Course was cart path only because of rain earlier in the week which is totally understandable.
GOLF WAS SUPERB!
Amenities was well below par!
Only negatives for the course were no cart girls, midcourse snack shack was closed, and the bar was closed after our round at 6:30.
great layout and playability for all levels
I love this golf course but currently not up to standards as I have come to expect. Tee boxes & some of the bunkers in poor shape. A few greens were rough also. Needs some TLC!
Great day of golf
Course in good condition greens and fairways in good shape. Enjoyable day
Best of SOMD
Best course in SOMD. Always a pleasure to play here.
