Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Golf Resort, Spa and Marina

Very good layout, several memorable holes, 15, 17, and 18th in particular. 17th with carry over water was exciting. 18th is not a hard hole if you hit two straight shots. Just a wedge to the green. Water along the entire left side and the hotel behind makes it very scenic.

Had an awesome Labor Day weekend! My wife and I stayed at the Hyatt Resort next door and she supported me in going to play the following day after the rain. I actually played two rounds on the same day, The first round (Golfnow hot deal $74 versus $112) with her driving the cart and the next (play it again round $21) alone. The staff was very friendly and professional. I normally try to remember the names to highlight however this time their names elude me.

Before the course, I'll give a little background to help maybe gage based on my background:

10-12 handicap, average drive 280, fairly accurate with my irons and descent putter. I played from the blue tees about 6,300 yds. There weren't too many tricky areas as long as you played more placement shots versus raw distance although there were plenty holes that required it. More pronounced were the number of fairway bunkers. This is the most I've ever played however shot placement proved rewarding. Hole #6 (par 3, protected environment between you and the green), 8 (par 3 water along the right side, 17 (Sweet, sweet, sweet par 3 must hit across the water 190yds & 18 (the bay along the left side however not really in play yet scenic along with finishing the green toward the resort) had the most character to me. Shot 88 the first time then managed to shoot 78 the second. Love the course and plan on adding this to my annual tour. Highly recommended.

Had a good time golfing with my wife. course has a nice layout but the fairways were poor shape for the money to play.

The course has relatively wide fairways, but there are numerous well-placed bunkers. The greens were in great shape, but a little sore from the recent rain You have to play the course smart, rather than try to overpower it. Hole number 17 is a bear The staff could not be more friendly and helpful and the off-course amenities are top of the line.

Arrived early. Directed us to the range to warm up. Starter was able to get us out early. Very windy day, but that made it more challenging. Greens were average speed. Course was in very nice condition overall. Had heard it was a very nice place to play, and we received good value. Shop staff was very friendly. Many holes bordering water, or had water in play. The 18th hole was very scenic as water was along the entire left side of the hole. Was a very enjoyable experience.

FIrst of all, the course was really nice and is in a really beautiful location. I am local (30 min) and I don't play this course at full price, it is a little rich for my blood and there are fairly comparable courses in the same distance that offer local discounts or lower pricing and are just as challenging, so this round I took advantage of a Hot Deal and played 18 with a cart for like $23.00 so there is no way I can really complain. The course was in great shape period, no further comment needed on that. It was hot, but I played in the summer and it gets hot and humid here so I wasn't shocked. I had the option to pair with another single, he was younger and a cool guy and we had a good time, there was hardly anyone else on the course and this was on a weekend around late morning. The staff was friendly and there is a nice bar at the start/finish and of course a overpriced but fancy hotel right there also, maybe it is just overpriced for me so in all fairness the place is really incredible, even so it just seems a little steep on both the hotel and golf side of things. Get a Hot Deal or discount with the app and you will feel like you got your moneys worth, certainly a steal for anything under $60 and the OC courses that are similar charge $80-$110. I don't remember there being a cart girl but I was drinking water because of the temperature so it didn't really matter. Bottom line in my opinion, if you have a ton of money bring your family and stay the weekend for $600 plus and play the course for $109 and don't sweat it. If you have some money but like to have some left after the weekend, find a deal or play later in the day when the rates drop and drive back home and stay at your house. When I say it is peaceful and fun, I mean you will see deer hanging around on the fairway and in the woods, not annoyingly like the geese at some places but rather nice to see. In this area they are lucky they don't get shot at (hunters not gangbangers) Plenty of water for scenery as it is right on the Choptank River, anyway it is a golf course, you get the idea, go play it for yourself

Second time I played this course this week! The course well manicured, staff always around keeping it pristine! The greens were just right, not too fast and not too slow. Had some simpler holes up to complex and well designed holes to keep it challenging and fun. Staff was as friendly as could be and helpful. Will definitely be playing here more often! First hole in one on 17!

I have played River Marsh many times. It is always in great shape and fun to play. They have an excellent staff and ground crew.

Very friendly staff. Can do better with range balls. They only had 1 small bag with about 20 balls. The fairways are in great conditions and greens too. Greens are hard to read, sometimes fast and slow in others; and then there is the wind. The wind adds a high level of difficulty. However, an over all great experience.

I had the pleasure of playing this course in May 2017. The Golfboards were relatively new to the course so they weren't super popular in terms of the number of people using them that I saw; however, I went for it and rented one! It was pretty awesome! Especially for someone playing solo or looking for a quick round.

In terms of the course, it's a beautiful layout with that has many tricks and turns. 17 and 18 are worth the cost of admission alone. Definitely make or break type holes. I will recommend this course as well as this resort to anyone.

The only aspect that was not great was the pace of play. Pace of play was pretty terrible honestly. At one point there was a 3 group wait on the 13th hole (we suspect a foursome jumped in front of us at the turn, even though we never stopped for lunch). Anyways, I was on vacation so it didn't bother me a bit. Awesome day at the course and I'll definitely be back.

For the 3rd of Apr the course was in decent shape.

The greens will be totally healed in another week. The greens were still about 9 and when healed will be there normal 10 to 12. Has a lot of bunkers and some are deep. Need to be accurate on tee shots.

they have just aerated the greens but they were still puttable. The fairways are so nice the course for this time of year is in very good shape. the staff from the first person you meet to the last one as you are finished are courteous and professional. I look forward to playing here again

Early season round, greens recently aerated and turf still in "winter mode", so can't comment in too much detail about general condition of the course. The pace of play was quick for a 10am tee time on a 75 degree Saturday at the end of March (18 holes in 3rs 30min). Some interesting hole layouts (17th in particular), but overall it's not a difficult course...if you are staying at the Hyatt, definitely recommend playing a round.

I This course was in great shape for the heavy rain we received and so close to winter. The greens rolled true. Fairways looked good (wet, but good) and the layout was very enjoyable. I look forward to coming back to play this course in the spring or summer.

Great course and great views. Course was in good shape considering they had two days of rain prior to our tee time. As a GolfNow Hot Deal I was extremely happy with the round.

Couldn't pass on the hot deal the weather was cold and windy with snow shower but course was in good condition enjoyed having the course by myself looking forward to playing there again. Especially love the large putting greens

Found the course to be in good shape and greens were in good condition not fast or slow. Did not like the fact that you had to carry your clubs down about 20 steps to the golf cart. Also having drinking water on the course would of been nice. Would definitely play here again. Eighteenth hole is beautiful.

Went as a two-some. Was behind a four-some so was slowed down but played through on the back 9 and able to finish the round in about 3 hours. Course in great condition for February.
