River Marsh Golf Club - Hyatt Chesapeake Bay
About
The Hyatt River Marsh Golf Club is Maryland's leading Eastern Shore golf course. The classic design incorporates challenging elements including sculpted bunkers and mature trees but balances them with wide, player-friendly fairways and inviting greens. Water has a prominent presence on the course with Shoal Creek meandering through the course and the Choptank River serving as a backdrop to many of the greens. The riverside golf course has the look and feel of a seaside links course. The final two holes are the golf course's most memorable. The par-3 17th requires a dramatic carry over Shoal Creek to a large green strategically guarded by three bunkers. The 17th is a challenging and scenic hole but it only sets the scene for Hyatt River Marsh Golf Club's final hole. Touted as one of the best holes in the Mid-Atlantic region, this classic risk-reward par 5 has a bunker and the Choptank River running its entire length.

Par 3 17th Photo submitted by u528713553 on 11/30/2015
Put a 2-some in front of a 4-some
Overall good experience but we were a 2-some we were there early and first hole was wide open. 3 foursomes schedule to play in front of us they weren’t ready to tee off yet and I asked starter if we could tee off. She wouldn’t let us so we waited a half hour to play behind 3 foursomes. To add insult to injury we ended up getting paired w/ another 2-some. Nice folks but I would have much preferred to have played just w/ my brother as it was a special outing. Objective should b to get golfers on the course and if the 1st tee is open and u have an opportunity to put a 2-some in front of 4-some it’s a no brainer.
Why wait?
I was playing this course w/ my brother. 2nd or 3rd time for me 1st time for my brother who was visiting from out of town. We arrived about 30 min before our scheduled tee time of 11:36. Were informed that we would only b a 2-some which I prefer rather then play w/ total strangers. We putted a bit and there was a 3-some on 1st tee. Fast forward about 15 min no one on 1st tee, group that had teed off was now on 1st green. I spoke w/ woman who was checking people in and told her 1st hole was wide open and could we tee off. She informed me that we would have to wait for 3 foursomes who were scheduled ahead of us on the reservations. So we ended up waiting for those foursomes to tee off. We ended up teeing off about 10 minutes late and now we’re behind 3 foursomes. My brother teed off and as I’m about to hit my ball I notice the check-in woman approaching us to inform us that she was now putting a couple with us. They were friendly and we enjoyed playing with them but shouldn’t the objective b to get people out as soon as possible and if you have a 2some that is ready and the 1st hole is open let them tee off. Especially if there is an opportunity to get them out in front of 3 foursomes.
Awesome golf in December
Wonderful customer service all around! Great conditions for December 9
Course was aireated so play wasn't great.
A little late in the season to aireate so recovery was slow but course is a great design. I'll be back in the summer.
Getting more expensive. Getting less
Range balls used to come with a tee time. Now a small bucket cost nine dollars. The greens were in below average shape for this course. The GPS cart is nice. The staff is friendly.
They now have a simulator that cost $45 per person per hour. Their pricing is a little ridiculous. I would not consider using the simulator at this price.

The weather was perfect, the pace was great, a really fun course.
