At times she may have been hard to get in touch with but she was excellent at helping out, giving ideas for setting up, and working with us. When we arrived the night before for rehearsal and set up, she was already setting up the chairs for the wedding outside and had a lot of the things set up in the room for the reception. Overall, the experience was excellent and the view for photos was great. We do not regret picking this place as our venue for our special day.

Our most recent time was mother's day, the course was in decent shape - the tee box grass was a tad high on some holes. The clubhouse leaves a bit to be desired. The women's restroom has an out of order sink and stall, which happens, but it SMELLED. Their beverage offers are sadly linked to Pepsi and they don't have any recycling on premise. I will say I enjoyed my turkey sammch on rye, simply because the bead was so good. Otherwise it was american cheese and pre-packaged turkey. They don't have a real range, you have to hit squishy foam balls, which kind of sucks. As another reviewer mentioned, it's also near Budd's creek so depending on the day, you might get noise from the track.

June 19, 2025…read more Chesapeake Hills Golf Course - Best Shape I've Ever Seen It In It's been just over a year since my last review, and I've only played once since the new clubhouse was completed -- but wow, what a difference that upgrade has made! The clubhouse looks great inside and has a lot more merchandise than I've ever seen there before. I haven't tried the food yet, but I've heard it's pretty good. Today, I played with my son -- our first round together in a few years -- and it was a very reasonable $90 for both of us (with cart for 18 holes). I'd heard from others that the course was starting to look really nice again, and they weren't wrong. As we pulled up to the first tee, I noticed the putting green on the left was in the best condition I've ever seen it. I told my son right away -- you can tell they've really been working hard to turn this place around. The tee boxes and fairways were well-cut and in excellent shape. After a few holes, I started to realize just how much improvement has been made. There used to be a lot of bare dirt or gravel patches throughout the course, but now most of those areas have healthy grass growing. The greens were smooth and well-trimmed, and putts rolled nicely. I especially noticed the 2nd hole (par 3 over water) -- the area just past the water used to be rough and patchy, but now it's fully filled in with lush grass.

So it's been a while since I wrote the original review. After that, I pretty much tried to never…read moreplay there for several reasons. Fortunately, things have changed for the better, but not everything. So lets start with the things that still need to be addressed. First one is the people working there. They seem pretty unhappy with life and it shows. Often they seen disgruntled and you're annoying them to ask for anything. The next one, is hole 15. That hole just needs to be revamped, it sucks. Finally, the driving range is garbage. The grass is often missing and its tough to often find some actual grass to hit off of. I would recommend that they put hitting mats up top and close the grass part to rejuvenate them on a regular basis. also, it doesn't help when they tell you not to hit drivers. I mean come on, that's the most fun part of hitting the range, blasting bombs with the driver. Now, lets talk about what's gotten better. right off the bat, you'll notice the new clubhouse. its nice and has a nice external relaxation area. Well done Calvert County. To go along with the clubhouse is the repaving of the parking lot, which may not seem like much, but it really makes the whole picture look that much better. The conditions at the course have gotten much better. Are there still some areas for improvement, yes (talking to you guy that dumps the clippings around the greens or in areas that are in plain sight) but for the most part they are good. the greens were in great shape, the fairways were good, and the roughs were not just all weeds as I experienced previously. The biggest thing that surprised me were the on course personnel. For the first time ever, i actually say a refreshments cart driving around. I have been going here since the 1980's when I used to work there, and in all that time, I NEVER saw a refreshments cart. Also, there was a starter AND a marshal driving around, which I have never seen as well. So well done CHGC, in upping your game. Please try and keep it going!!

A cypress swamp sounds like something you'd find in Belize or in Dinotopia, but in fact we have one…read moreright here in Maryland. It's free, and from the parking lot one finds a visitor center with several animals (including some disabled rescue raptors outside). Restrooms are the first thing you see upon walking in, a wise choice given that this place is a pretty decent drive from almost anywhere. It is, however, not far off Route 4, and a viable stop on the way to other things in the region. After the visitor center, a boardwalk leads out into the swamp, and make no mistake it is pretty swampy. The trees apparently put their roots out aboveground to stabilize themselves, leading to a bizarre aesthetic of knobby root bits sticking up everywhere. The area is quiet but for the slow flow of water, and you can almost feel nature renewing itself; wetlands are tremendously valuable. It isn't a large area; not something you'd spend a whole day at with just the boardwalk and a few other areas to walk through, but it makes for a nice diversion.

My wife and I frequent this trail to ride our bicycles and enjoy it. The only trail head is…read moreactually at "John V. Baggett Park" in the parking lot near Three Notch Rd. The far end of the trail doesn't have anything, not even a bench or potty. The trail is always clean and has several locations with benches and Port-a potties. The only complaint I might have would be that there are no active watering stations. Bring your drink with you. All crossings with the roads are well marked. The crossing at Leonardtown Rd can get a little crazy as twice we waited for cars to pass and some cars would come to a screeching stop. Don't be too close to the street while waiting for cars to stop at this location. Some crossings have buttons to push so the crossing lights are activated which helps but you still need to be cautious. There are no sections of this trail as to where you have to share the road.. its a full trail. There are some spots on the trail that you might want to go see, like the Amish market at the library or the BBQ restaurant that you will eventually smell and see if you go far enough. There are a few sections of the trail that have rough surface, the Amish buggies are using the trail and you'll eventually see horse poop in the middle of the way while the ruts of the buggies are bumpy. Its a nice trail with farm, city, urban views. If you're looking for a place to exercise, or a relaxing place to ride or walk you should try this trail.

People will throw your laundry out of the wash so beware of the selfish people that come. It's nice that there's so many cabins because it is easy to have last minute visitors make a reservation.
