Course Overview
Perched on the Eastern Shore of Maryland near Queenstown, Queenstown Harbor Golf offers an engaging golf experience enhanced by its dual-course layout and natural waterfront setting. This private golf facility features two distinct 18-hole courses, the River Course and the Lakes Course, each carving a unique identity within their surroundings.

Visitors and members appreciate the calm atmosphere paired with the thoughtful course design. The facility’s setting along Eastern Shore waterways ensures golfers can appreciate a blend of maritime climate fresh air and carefully crafted holes.

Played the river course. Great challenging course layout with a lot of character. Course was well maintained, has amazing views and great facilities. Pam, the in the beverage cart was super friendly. Drove an hour and a half to play here and will be doing it again soon due to how great the experience was.
Kyle Walker
The course was great last year, however, things are drastically different this year. Tons of burnt fairways, greens punched during mid summer, and lack of grass all around the greens due to sod being placed. Not sure why the prices are at a premium when the course isn’t in good conditions.

Queenstown Harbor Golf is a great experience and perfect for a weekend golf trip with friends. The courses are fun and well-maintained. (The Lakes course was easier to navigate, and the River course was more challenging and scenic.) But the differentiating factor was Ron R. and his team going above and beyond at every step to help my 20-man, two-day outing be an overwhelming success. Looking forward to going back next year!

WOW what an experience!!!! Have 26 years of Military and Law Enforcement in our group. Upon calling speaking with Spencer, he advised that he could honor the Wednesday Military/Law Enforcement Price for a Thursday round. Wednesday did not work for our group as you know We are 24/7 on call. Spencer advised that I need to call back two weeks out to make our tee time. Upon calling back, JR answered the phone. JR advised that Spencer did not come in till later that day. I then informed JR of the conversation I had with Spencer with the discount being honored on our Thursday round since Wednesday were hard for us with our work schedules. JR was a complete asshole!!!!. JR stated he was Spencer s boss and Spencer did not know what he was talking about. So here we are playing on a Thursday having to pay full price. Good to see you care about your first responders. This will definitely be a one and done course.

We have been enjoying Queenstown Harbor Golf for over a decade and decided to hold our first weekend 12 person event there. Unfortunately we were not able to do the Stay and Play (it was booked), but Ron, Mike and the rest of the service team were impeccable. From the second we arrived everything was more than taken care of - top to bottom - from golf, to food / beverages, etc. etc. We never had to even ask for a single thing. So huge thank you again to Queenstown Harbor Golf. That's for the awesome weekend. ps. We did not even say how nice the course was as well. Saw other reviews on this and not which golf course they were playing. Both River and Lakes were impeccable.

My favorite course in MD over Whiskey Creek, Bulle Rock, etc. Can't beat the views, and the layout rocks. The condition has always been good, and the staff is excellent.
