Rating 73.1

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.

Great Course

Fun course in good shape. The greens rolled true, and the back 9 had some beautiful views. The greens are a fun challenge since they are so well protected with bunkers and water. The hot deal did not include cart, but it was a great value still. It was a long drive from the DC area, but definitely worth the drive. The clubhouse is older, but kept up nicely. Cart path only was tough, but not a knock on the course. Definitely will be back.

Great Course!

The only issue I had this round, other than my swing, was the amount of groups on the course. Dealt with a lengthy backup at each tee box. Ended up cutting my round at 9 holes since I was already approaching 3 hours. No big deal, I think everyone just decided to go golfing that day!

Could be great, needs some improvement

You just need to know a few things before heading out.

The good- design of course, scenery, and convenient snack bar.

The bad- some greens were not in good shape, sand bunkers were hard as rocks, some areas of the course were muddy, grass in rough is long and hard to find balls.

Do not believe everything you read in review -_-

Played at Augustine many times while back [15 years ago] and back then, it was beautiful and amazing course, in fact it was in top 100 !! I paid $80-$85 and was so worth it! After the recession the course went down hills and I playes there less and less and I stop going there by 2017 since it was just terrible even after new management took over. It got better but still not worth $60~$80!!

Fast forward, tbis week, September 2024.

Saw the review few days ago amd few reviews say amazing,....well, the tee boxes and fairways is nice, NOT AMAZINGLY but better than average [grasses too tall in fairwaays not full ] However, greens were were under par condition. Bit of crab grasses and burnt marks. I am glad at least I paid only $42 in Hot Deal , not $50-$65.

In all honesty, the greens got hit by the heats and see few crab graasses and bald spots and they tried to punch the greens.

It is getting better that I can see but One Reviewer said It is 100% back and few reviewers says amazing, and that was why came back....

I do hope the condition gets really better soon.

I might try again next year when fairways are full with good grasses and greens recovered.

If you paying in that 40 range, go there and have fun!

Unacceptable Greens condition

The greens were horrible. Potential customers should be made aware prior to reserving a tee time. The layout of the course is great. The potential is there for a very good golf course but the condition of the greens ruined it. For the price there are plenty of much better options.

Fuzzy Greens

The front nine had a fungus on every green. The back was a little better. I like the course and its layout but the greens have to be fixed

Terrible greens

The greens are in terrible condition. I usually only give positive reviews because I know all business is difficult. I was excited to play here because it does feel different than a traditional MD course. The layout is nice. The scenery is very good. The fairways were also good. My two negatives were the completely lost greens and the beverage cart person was not attentive and came across as bothered. Because of that I only bought from her once at hole 1 and fortunately the small turn shack had better service.

Sorry I would not pay even $20 to play there based on the greens.
