Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Golf Resort, Spa and Marina

River Marsh at the Hyatt Cambridge is one of my favorite courses in MD. It takes me over 1 hour & 30 minutes to get there & it is worth it. It has a challenging & scenic lay out. Course just opened back up because of all the snow & it was in really good shape but wet because of the snow. Shot 79. Almost had hole in one on #17 which is a tough hole. It was playing 230 with wind in your face from the blue tees. Looking forward to when the restaurant opens up. Good crab cake at the restaurants on property.

One of my favorite places to play. The layout is interesting and the pace of play is always good..

Played today. Nice weather around 52 sunny, 6MPH winds.

Course was soft and wet in many areas.

But only a few stay on cart path.

Green were disappointing. Not nearly as nice as before.

Very Slow and spongy.

Considering weather conditions, course was very playable. Thanks, grounds-crew.

Another fun day at the Hyatt. Course is soaking muddy wet. But not their fault. Oddly not much wildlife out today but 54 degrees was good enough for us!!!

Date was 1/2/21 but won’t allow to submit with that date.

Dec 23, 2020

So not to expect to much. Give 44degress 10MPH winds.

Course was wet, cart path only.

Greens were soft and spongy. Very Slow.

They finally removed all the crab grass from the bunkers!! Fairways pretty good. Greens good. Some scarring from long season. Great deal on golf now.

Saw eagle blue heron hawk wild turkeys deer!!

Starter was very nice unlike the one we had when we went in August.

We have not played this course since fall of 2019. We always enjoy the design of River Marsh although the course quality fluctuates. The greens were aerated three or four weeks ago and provide a less than consistent putting service. One of my pet peeves of some resort courses are the numerous un-repaired ball marks on the greens. I must have repaired 59 myself today. The bunkers have been all but abandoned during this COVID period. The fairways were okay but it is November so understandable. Considering all the rain this area has dealt with over the past 90 days the course is in decent but not stellar condition.

The staff has been cut due to Covid and it is still in good shape considering their staff needs! A lot of rain and not a lot of staff makes it hard to keep the course great. Some burnt greens, but still not lost. Great pace on most of them!

The course, after 2+ feet of rain in 2 months, is in such great shape! Not to mention in the midst of the pandemic the staff was cut to one person doing the course management. There are a few burn sports on greens and a few fairways with drown spots, but considering their situation they course was excellent. The greens rolled at a great pace even a day after. This course is fun because the fairways are wide, but it challenges the golfer to chose wise shots off the tee a lot with dog legs and hazards.

Too back the front nine was closed and had to just play the back nine twice. Because of the rain, cart paths only, and was very wet.
