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.

Great course
The course was in excellent condition. Challenging and fun.
Call ahead
Call ahead to make sure food is being served. Nothing like showing up to a high dollar course with the intention of eating your lunch there and all grills an kitchen closed. Very annoying, frustrating for a type 1 diabetic.
Disappointed
Second time playing this Hyatt location, I wasn’t happy last time so I figured I would give it another chance two years later but it was exactly the same …the greens were in good condition but that was the only thing ..the bunkers were bad not raked footprints from animals in everyone, the fairways were not great , the rough was more weeds than rough … for as much as they charge and it being associated with Hyatt one would think it would be a top notch course but far from it ..save your time and money and go somewhere else .. I’m never going back
Top notch course but not a resort
Beautiful course. Well maintained greens and fairways. The challenge on this course is the rough! The only issue I had with the course is much of the rough, which was super high, was infested with clover. It's one challenge to play out of high rough but more so when there's clover and your game gets distracted while searching for your white ball!!
Incredible
I have to say River Marsh was the best day of golf in the past 10 years, the weather was perfect. the course is in tip top shape and the pace of play was perfect. Can't wait to play there again next week.
Challenging yet enjoyable
Exceeded expectations. Well designed course. Would play again
Disappointed ☹️
When you pay a lot of money you expect it to be worth THD cost and the condition were horrible. The rough had not been cut in over a week so it hurt to hit out of rough! The greens and tee boxes were chewed up. The layout was good except for the bottle neck of par 3’s …I was looking forward to playing this course for sometime but completely disappointed!
Can’t wait to go back
First time playing and now I’m looking forward to my next round. There are several “signature holes” but the last two are amazing. If it was closer to me it might be a once a week play.
