Situated along the shores of the Potomac River in southern Maryland, Swan Point Country Club has been ranked as one of the top 10 golf courses in the state. Golfers who enjoy playing in the Carolinas will feel right at home on this course. Water or marshland comes into play on 12 holes and there is an abundance of pine trees. The course is also home to a variety of wildlife including osprey, bald eagles, and deer. In addition to the water, strategically placed bunkers add another challenging element to the golf course. The par-5 fourth hole is considered the signature, mostly due to the challenging island green. Proper club selection is key in order to maneuver past the lake that runs along the entire left side of the fairway. The hole is especially hard on windy days.

Great Course

I last played this course in 1995. Decided to return to area to play the course again. The course was in immaculate shape and very challenging, considering Issue MD is not a heavily populated area. My wife and I both played. The weather was perfect, and the course was nearly empty, so we felt like we had the course to ourselves. No one chasing us and no one holding us up. Best round of golf we've had this year.

Nice challenging course. Fairways are in good condition, greens were just punched so had to judge.

Great value

Great value. The pace was awesome mostly because the course was empty which was odd for a Sat afternoon. The greens were fantastic, fast and in great shape. The fairways are still dormant but in good shape. Conditions were wet due to all the rain lately, but very playable. The staff was very friendly especially the man in the pro shop. I’ll definitely play here again.

Beautiful course on the Potomac River. Great layout. course was in a bit of rough condition. Tee boxes were very bare. Fairways were so so. Traps were hard as a rock but it did rain the day before and I’m sure they didn’t have a chance to work on them. Greens had just been punched in probably the last week. Hopefully everything gets back to normal because it can be such a nice course.
