RIVER COURSE – HOLE 18

Handicap: Men’s 6 | Women’s 6

This par 5 is truly a great way to finish off your round.

If you can carry the sand trap on the right, the downhill kick will give you an opportunity to reach this green in two.

Most players will play to the left of the sand trap, leaving them with a long carry over an environmental area to the second fairway.

The 18th green is one of the most undulating greens on the property.

Make sure you know your distance and land it on the proper level in order to finish your round off strong with a birdie!

PRO TIP

This great finishing hole is a par 5 only reachable by two career shots.

Make sure to leave your tee shot to left of the fairway bunker and you’re second shot must be to the right side of the fairway as a hazard hides on the left.

You’re third shot to this green must be precise as there are 3 levels to this green.

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.
