LAKES COURSE – HOLE 9

Handicap: Men’s 13 | Women’s 13

The shortest par 4 on the golf course can help you finish the front 9 with a great chance at making a birdie.

For the bigger hitters, you can go right at the green and the wind will typically help you get it there.

Any shot in the fairway should give you a good look at this green for your approach.

A ridge running through the center splits this green in half. Sand traps guard the front left and back of this green.

Any shot played to the center of this green will funnel to the back.

PRO TIP

A short par 4 that can hopefully keep your low round going or help you to finish your 9 holes strong.

For the bigger hitters, you can go right at the green and the wind will typically help you get it there.

For the rest of us, just play it to the right center and at most you should have a short iron or wedge to this green.

The green is split by a ridge so make sure you make to the correct side of it.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

Queenstown Harbor is home to many species of trees that line the fairways, wrap around the shorelines, and provide deep pockets of protected forest. You’ll notice a variety of tree groupings as you play both courses – often consisting of pines, oaks, maples, dogwoods and evergreens.

The fairways at Queenstown Harbor are a beautiful Patriot Bermuda grass. The greens are a type of turf grass called bentgrass. Bentgrass consists of very thin blades of grass densely packed together that offers a smooth surface for a perfect putt. Bentgrass is a popular choice for golf courses in the area and even the choice at Augusta National.

In addition, Queenstown Harbor has a wide variety of native grasses that grow around Queenstown Harbor. Along the shorelines you’ll find wetlands with a variety of Chesapeake Bay vegetation. The inland are freshwater lakes offer a new variety of native plants.

WILDLIFE HABITATS

Each and every day, a wide variety of wildlife can be found on the golf courses. These animals find refuge in the waters, trees, and woods that surround the property – and we are committed to preserving these habitats.

One of Queenstown Harbor’s most popular inhabitants is the whitetail deer. While out golfing, you’ll often spot these deer huddled in small groups, walking across fairways, or grazing along the wood lines.

The most notable bird overhead is the osprey that arrives in mid-March after completing a long flight from South America. They return to South America by mid-October and will return to the Chesapeake Bay (often to the same exact nests) to start families and fish from the abundant waters.

Bald eagles grace us with their presence regularly and blue herons are often spotted along the shorelines both on the river and lakes courses.  They will quietly hunt the inland lakes and coastal shorelines.
