Prospect Bay Country Club

Grasonville, Maryland

Semi-Private · 18 Holes · Par 72 · 6,811 yds · $40–$75 · 4.1

A P.B. Dye design on Maryland's Eastern Shore near the Chesapeake Bay, Prospect Bay offers semi-private access to a challenging layout through tidewater terrain. The waterfront property features tidal marsh views, Chesapeake Bay breezes, and Dye family design DNA with strategic bunkering and water hazards.

History & Heritage

Prospect Bay was designed by P.B. Dye (Pete Dye\'s son) and opened in 1989, just 10 miles east of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge on Maryland\'s Eastern Shore. A semi-private club offering golf, marina, tennis, and pickleball in a tidewater setting.

The flat tidewater terrain and constant coastal breezes from the Chesapeake Bay make wind the great equalizer. P.B. Dye\'s characteristic round, flattish greens are deceptive with subtle grain influenced by the bay.
