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.

Good layout fast pace decent condition great value

Played on hot Wednesday afternoon, very fast pace. Greens in great shape, fairway a little too dry, bunkers in good shape, rough and tee boxes need some more overseeding. Friendly staff, course has ice water every few holes. Overall great value.

Going Downhill Unfortunately

I have played Swan Point for years and it appears to be resource strained. The Greenskeeper was in the process of rebuilding the traps on the side of the 10th green which is great but it was downhill from there. The carts were filthy (right out of the cart barn) with empty divot mix bottles on the cart. The fairways were abnormally dry and several greens were burned/patchy with disease.
Golf now rate is good but it does not include the cart. The cart was an extra $20.00 for a total of $45. Overall it still is a good deal but it is no longer the gem it used to be.

A great course worth the trip!

I play this course at least three times a year and I’m always challenged. I love the layout and the challenges that come with it. The trip is very worth it as you will have a great time from the first tee to the 18th green. Bring your A game!

A great day at Swann Point

The course is well maintained. It played firm and the greens were running very well. 1 or two of the greens suffered sunburn but they were recovering and it didn't impact play. Saw eagles, a blue jay, turtles, a snake and had to fight off a few may flies. The course is a natural habitat for different species of wildlife. Aside from fighting off the annoying may flies, it was a wonderful experience. I rate it as a "must play" course.

Great Course and Experience

I've played in the fall a few times here and enjoyed myself. This year was the first time I played during the regular season. Every hole has a unique and difficult feel but extremely fun. Plenty of wild life around, seemed like we ran into a different animal on every hole. Plenty of geese running around the course but they politely move as your cruse the course. Beverage cart comes by a few times and the club house has great food, I highly suggest the chips! Great experience every visit I make here.

Excellent views for a course!

Not sure if it was time of year, but grass was in horrible shape. Views and course layout was awesome. Lots of water makes it a challenge.

judaist pigs.

Then I actually asked to talk to the two managers IN CHARGE of hiring, you know what I was told? "No." I am not even allowed to talk to someone on this earth? Who the are you to tell me what to do and who I can or can't talk to. Their excuse is "they're in a tournament." No they weren't, I looked outside after, saw no people, no tournament anywhere, and then was told they would all come back inside. Complete lies.

The absolute Robin stopped me from getting a job here and who knows who else they turned away to leave these people jobless and homeless, they don't manage they admitted they have nothing to do with employment, only with sabotaging people's rights, freedom and ability to live.
