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.

Wow Swan Point is going down hill
We have played here too many times to count. This has always been our favorite course in Maryland. We were at shocked at the extremely poor condition of the entire golf course. One green had two sand pot holes. Fairways had a lot of area with no grass. The landscaping was not maintained. Every green was in poor shape. Very sad to see this happening here.
Insanely good rate for this course
Have played several time before but never under Golf Now reservation. Got insanely good rate for mid-day (yeah I know its hot ...drink more water!!) Played with two others who eventually let me jump ahead of them as a single. Group in front of me let me play thru and it was "off-to the races" as course was wide open in front of them. Finished 18 in just under 2.5 hrs with a stop at the turn for food. Pace allowed me to post a GOOD score for me at this location. Green were very quick as they have just been punched.
Great layout
Friendly staff. Always a great experience playing Swan Point. Can't wait for Spring aeration to get behind us. Come on warm weather!
Nice course
The reason for average course condition rating is because Bermuda grass has not yet grown in for the season. Once it greens up course is usually in great shape. Being the first real nice weather day of the season didn't help the pace of play but I expected a crowded course
Players Course
Course is in fantastic shape, will definitely make an effort to play the course again during the Fall/Winter season.
Long drive, but will be back!
I have been wanting to play this course for a long time, but I live 2 hours from here, so I had to pick a day when I could block out 9 hours. The course was worth the drive. Bermuda was not quite dormant yet, and the feel of the place was very beachy. Largely flat, but with some raised greens and beautiful watery vistas. Very well designed to be challenging without being frustrating. Water comes into play frequently but there was always a side where you could bail out or avoid it by laying up. The greens were exceptional and rolled the truest of any I have played all year. Quick, but not ridiculously so, with undulations which required a proper read. But if you got the speed right putts tracked very precisely. We didn't putt well this day, but it was never the fault of 'clown's mouth' design, if you know what I mean. We will be back in Spring, if not sooner, to enjoy the course a second time.
My favorite course!
It's a long way to go for golf from Alexandria, VA, but totally worth it if you have a whole day.
Everything about this place is amazing!
The Graceful Swan
Returned to play The Swan after 6 days from my previous visit, it was like being at a private country club, no one in front us and no one behind us (happy wife) course was in excellent shape, staff remembered us from the last visit and made feel like we were member's or special guest. We felt the rate was a steal for this caliber of a course. We took our out of town guest from Denver, he's still raving about the course. You Da man Robbie.
Great Condition
Our tee time was in the middle of a tournement, Robbie and his staff gave us a rain check. Thanks for that, my wife loves this course and would like to be a member if it wasn't so far from where we live. The Swan was in the better shape than some of the so called up scale course north of Swan Point. Wife can't wait to play it again. Robbie thanks again for your excellent customer service.
DCtrip
Excellent condition; lots of water, of course; greens held well and putted smoothly. It was hot and very humid so not many people golfing.
Good course
Good course and a great layout. Lots of water and sand. I was hoping for a course that was closer to the shoreline of the Potomac because that's what a fellow golfer told me so, I was a little disappointed in that. Plenty of wildlife though. The greens were fast and firm but, the fairways were recently aerated and dry. They need to water the fairways more to get them in better shape. Overall nice course and I look forward to playing there again.
Worth the drive!!
First visit to the course and was not disappointed.
Overall the course was in pretty good shape. A few greens were burned and bare in spots only, but otherwise no complaints. Players at this course seem to take pride in their course and repair ball marks and divots, this is a real plus. The scenery is unmatched for beauty, especially on the back 9. Had the good fortune to see and photograph a juvenile Bald Eagle (not white plumage yet) and the courses favorite Osprey.
This course plays much like the coastal course it is with an added Florida like flavor, especially in the 98 degree heat today provided.
Highly recommend playing this SoMD gem of a course!!!
Good, but issues
First off- I love this course! The layout is challenging but fair.
However, there are spots in many fairways that are burnt and no sign of recovery- granted this is the first time I've seen it there, but disappointing on an otherwise good place to play.
Food and beverage are awesome- great beers on tap for the 19th hole and decent apps.
SPGC is still one of my favorite courses and I'll be back-
Hidden Gem
I'm hesitant to share the great experience I had today at Swan Point because I'd like to keep this place a secret! Tons of wildlife (Herons, Turtles, Ducks, Deer, Osprey, etc), great views and fun/challenging layout. Water on 12 holes, so bring your A-game. Pro shop gentleman shook our hand, introduced himself and spent 10 minutes explaining the course. Then met us when we returned to tell us about lunch and the "best" way to get back to DC. It was a great day and only a 1 hour drive from Alexandria VA (at 6:00 a.m.). I'll definitely be back! Only negative: Bring bug spray.
Will be back in Summer
I've played a lot of Carolina golf to include several other Arthur Hills courses. This is among the most fun and challenging. The Bermuda grass fairways are dormant right now, but I'm excited to see what some warm air and sun will do for them. Very well manicured and fair to play.
My dings on this course are:
1: greens were just aerated, a necessary evil I know but would have been nice to know.
2: yardage books. Make them. Give them out. Sell them. Something-just give visiting golfers a chance since cell service is sketchy (for phone GPS users).
3: on the food- yes it was Easter but we were turned away from being able to buy anything other than chips our candy bars while there was a full spread buffet sitting there getting cold with no customers. It looked and smelled delicious while my stomach grumbled.
I'll come back again for sure. Would love to see this course in summer. It really is a displaced Carolina coastal course.
Great Course
Real nice course great view long holes makeable greens real nice fairways.
