Rated HHHH—Golf Digest

One of the most beautiful courses that the Free State
has to offer is Rocky Point Golf Course on the shores of
the Chesapeake Bay. This long standing stalwart of the
Baltimore County Golf five course contingent, Rocky Point
provides outstanding golf value. Don’t be fooled by the
6683-yard length. Positioned at sea level, Rocky Point
plays much longer around a varying array of water hazards.
The front nine lies relatively flat and open while the back
nine features abundant elevation changes, tree-lined
fairways, and stunning views of the Chesapeake. Rated 4
stars by Golf Digest, Rocky Point makes a terrific daily fee
venue and an ideal location for your next golf outing with
their outdoor waterproof pavilion that overlooks the bay. It
is located on Back River Road in Essex just 15 minutes off
Exit 36 of the Baltimore Beltway.
