River Marsh Golf Club - Hyatt Chesapeake Bay

I gave the course "good" on the conditions because of the bunkers. And Only because I was in a lot of them.
In some, the ball came out fine others were hard pan and the club skipped instead of splashed. But for February 20th, 2023 playing golf in 58-degree temps, everything was GREAT!!!

One of my favorite courses in the area to play. Good value for the money. Very beautiful scenery along the Choptank River. On one of my recent outings we saw an Eagle and a buck with a very large set of antlers.

Its weather so, not perfect all around as it is in the Spring and Summer. It was fun to get out and play there again.

Course is great had to play the back nine twice, but everything was great.

Nice course. Got a great golf now rate. Course could be epic. Not in the best shape with some strange weed that has overtaken the fringe around greens & is spotty throughout fairways. The greens are super spongy. Almost too spongy. Bunkers are very soft. Almost too soft. But the course layout itself is great. Beautiful track. If they invested some money into more upkeep this place could be top 5 in Maryland public access. A few memorable holes. Huge fairways. Wind off the water comes into play. Main negative was the water containers were too far spaced out and a couple were empty. Only saw bev cart once around hole #3. It was a very hot day. Overall I had a great day, great guy I paired up with. Didn’t play great but that’s on me. I will def play here again.

This course is not what it used to be. It is overgrown, the rough is filled with clover and overgrown. The pace of play is ridiculous and the ranger was present only after we called. We ran into a 7-some on 6 that we were waiting on the tee box for and they wouldn’t let us play through, so we passed them. Then, we ran into a twosome on 7 in which one person was coaching and lining up every single shot for the next person including spending no short of 5 minutes with him ON the tee box while we were trying to be nice and wait, so we passed them…then we ran into a 6-some and that is when my husband absolutely had it. This was all on the front nine. We called in, they seemed surprised. If the ranger was truly making rounds, it would have been evident. Just upsetting to pay that much money and have that kind of experience. I talked this course up to my son as we took him there for his birthday, it was absolutely beautiful when we played there 7/2/2022 and it was a less than desire able experience today…golf is an 80% mental sport and waiting for every single shot gets you out of tempo, not to mention the frustration when other people have absolutely ZERO golf etiquette. The cart girl stopped her rounds at 1:30, before we even teed off and she told us it was her last round so if we wanted anything, we needed to get it. The brand new carts are nice though!

One of the prettiest and best maintained course I have ever played. Really fun and challenging layout. Only downside was the clubhouse bar was never open when I wanted a drink. 9 1/2 out of ten overall. Strongly recommend!

The course itself can be challenging due to its exposure to wind. The tee shot on 17th hole, particularly, was challenging with its carry over water and a 2-club more into the wind. There were a few holes which your driver is limited due to the end of the fairway before a hazard area. The greens are in great condition and run fast! Some tee boxes are worn as there must not have an irrigation system. Same true for the practice area. Very worn practice tees. There was no starter which can create issues as we experienced when a group late to arrive jumped ahead of us on the first hole. There also is no roaming ranging to keep pace of play. Our roam should have been quicker but one group caused us to wait for 16 of 18 holes. There was a roaming cart that have beverages but no substantive food. You’d need to get that in the clubhouse which the course doesn’t go nearby. Lastly, no OnCourse bathroom. No a big deal for guys, but is one for women.
