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.

Always Like a One-Day Golf Vacation

Caught a perfect combination of weather combined with a President's Day holiday. Temps in the mid-60s in February with no rain for 4 days and low humidity allowed the course to dry-out nicely. The only drawback to Swan Point is that it needs 2 to 3 days to dry-out after any moderate to heavy rain. Other than that, this course is a gem, and it was in great condition on this day. A local golf mag once said "If your friends blindfolded you and drove you around for 8 hours before taking you to Swan Point, you would think you were playing a course in Myrtle Beach".

Best course in SOMD

Of all courses in Southern MD that are available to the general public, Swann Point stands out. Challenging for sure but i would rather that than too easy. A course you can play aot but doesnt get old.

Great Golfing experience

I played here once before, and it’s a beautiful course, challenging, fun, nice carts, pro shop, and even the food is very good. The amenities make it a welcoming place to visit. It’s the nicest golf club in the area and a great value. I highly recommend.

Southern Md Gem

This course has quickly become one of my favorite in southern Maryland the layout is quite challenging and often challenges your mental state versus your physical. The grass has that Bermuda type seating which takes a little longer to Green yet the condition of the fairways and bunkers and the Speedy greens were all in great shape.

One of best courses in MD and Virginia

Not sure when Jyaz played but pace of play was not that bad. If anything terrible 4somes were holding up play. That aside, the course features a picturesque and unique layout that truly has the feel of a Carolina course. Holes 9-14 are a fanatic stretch of holes that really exemplify the Carolina vibe. Course was in great shape. Greens rolled true - maybe a few unfixed ball marks but nothing irregular for a public course . Overall, great value and fun course. I’ve played literally every course within a few hours of DC (both Va and Maryland) and some top flight private courses across the country and would easily put Swan Point as a must play course for someone in the region who has a chance to swing it. Another plus is that the grill and turn-house are open again after COVID. Highly recommend.

Slow pace

Too many singles and doubles not paired up making pace of play SLOW.
Greens would be in so much better if people would fix their ball marks.

Swan Point Review

The course was great. However, I am not happy with the GolfNow app. Beware of the small print for Hot Deals in that in you can NOT cancel tee times. I made the tee time for 4 and 2 had to cancel. I tried to cancel them 1 day in advance an the app would not allow it. Tried to call the GolfNow phone number and was unable to connect to a human being to discuss (all automated). BEWARE OF SMALL PRINT ON GOLFNOW HOT DEALS REGARDING CANCELLATIONS!!!

Fun Day

Stopped here on our way to Richmond Va from the Northeast. Fun round, beautiful course. Better than expected. A bonus, we avoided the Baltimore/DC traffic on I95! We'll be back if it fits our plans.
