Annapolis Area Golf

Any opinions on Queenstown Harbor and South River outside Annapolis?

[Jeff Taylor]

Queenstown River Course is the best of the lot. Just a little further down the road is Hunters Oak. It is an Ian Scott Taylor design and attempts to be a links course. Some interesting holes and it is never crowded (private but they let you play). You must use the yardage book if you want to survive.

Uplands in Denton is quite good

If you can play it, I really enjoyed the Naval Academy Golf Course.  It is a Flynn design that is fairly creative.

Over the years South River has continued to improve. Queenstown River is far superior to the Lakes but still one of the most over rated and over priced courses in MD. They have seen rounds drop significantly during the past few years. Their mandatory caddie program was a big hit last year....not!

It seems that since the elder Lex Birney has turned over the courses to his son the courses have gone downhill.

They are now attempting to take South River private. However I understand they are accepting daily fee play until they have recruited a sufficient number of members.

Lake Presidential GC, a new course in the are has been receiving great reviews and may be worth a look.

Queenstown Harbor isn't half bad...is the River the one that the 2nd hole is along the marshland/wetlands? 

I played it in driving rain, played just the front nine and bagged it, got a rain check and came back a month later and played the whole 18 - I recalled it being better on the rainy play.  Worth playing if you're in the area, which it sounds like you are....probably not worth going too far out of your way for it. 

The other course at QH was definitely inferior but not awful....just a kid sister.
