CHESTER RIVER YACHT & C C

The Eastern Shore's rolling farmland provides an understated canvas for this William Gordon design, where elevation changes of 60 feet create strategic interest without overwhelming the senses. Gordon's routing maximizes the property's natural ridges and wetland borders, particularly on the par-4 14th that drops dramatically toward Chester River marshland with prevailing winds that can turn a routine approach into an adventure. The Chesapeake Bay's maritime influence keeps conditions playable year-round, while the club's yacht basin adds a nautical elegance that few inland tracks can match.
