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.

Awesome greens

I’ve played golf over 40 years, and have been so many different courses surrounding Washington DC area.
I would give two thumbs up for maintaining superb green condition to Swan Point Yacht & Country Club..
I’ve had awesome day golfing this course, I’ll definitely come back more.

Pace of play was ridiculously slow. We spent more time waiting at the tee boxes than playing.

First time out for the season

Swan Point is out of the way unless you live there. The course itself was in great shape. The back a little firmer than the front. Clubhouse and staff are very nice.

Looking forward to going back.

Best Layout in Southern Maryland

If you like Championship Golf, then this is the layout for you! Tips out at 6800 yards, lots of hazards, doglegs, OB, etc. Better bring your A-game! It’s currently really dry conditions though and needs water badly. It’s been hot and dry lately so maybe a few good rains will help. I didn’t see a single sprinkler going. This place could be the best course in all of MD if it was lush and green. Off the course amenities are top notch. Nice range, putting green, halfway house with food and drinks, and a super friendly staff. Final verdict, Swan Point is a 5 star experience, but currently a 4 due to super dry conditions. Play well!

Rude

I have been playing Swan Point for over 20 years. As long as it’s dry it’s a great course. My last round there however I returned to a cracked windshield. There are no errand ball signs. I provided my information and after 3 days I reached out to them. The administration office interrupted me and transferred call to general manager. The call cut off. Called again and general manager just said “And, we will not pay for it if that’s what your asking.” I don’t care to play this course ever again. Simply disrespectful and rude.
