Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Golf Resort, Spa and Marina, a waterfront resort located on 342 acres of Maryland’s Eastern Shore, announces the completion of a turf renovation at its River Marsh Golf Club. This upgrade to more durable and sustainable bermudagrass will provide an enhanced golf experience for both members and guests year-round.
“We are thrilled to launch an enhanced golfing experience at our award-winning River Marsh Golf Club,” said Abby Messick, Director of Golf at Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay. “This change is more than just a cosmetic enhancement; it’s a commitment to delivering a more sustainably-driven and even more exceptional playing experience for our guests year-round. We invite our local community and guests to stay and play by the Bay with updated and enhanced golf opportunities year-round.”
The 18-hole course replaced the grass at the tee boxes and fairways to “Iron Cutter” bermudagrass. Specifically designed to enhance the golf experience, Iron Cutter is a highly-rated choice by the National Turf Evaluation Program (NTEP), which is utilized by the Golf Course. Additionally, the bermudagrass is better suited for high-traffic play and is humidity-resistant making it an ideal option for Maryland’s unique climate. The transition to bermudagrass is expected to decrease water consumption by 50 percent, and chemical usage by up to 70 percent. The course’s greens have remained their original bentgrass.
The golf course has officially reopened to the public and is open to play. Tee times are available by visiting https://www.rivermarshgolfclub.com/.
River Marsh Golf Club provides a premier golf experience featuring a coastal low country feel that showcases the area’s distinctive terrain of untouched forests, open fields, and spanning waterfront views. The course provides two signature holes including the 17th hole, a par 3 stretching 200 yards over Shoal Creek, and the 18th hole which runs along the Choptank River from tee to green.
