"I live with my husband, daughter (age 4 months) and dog in Cove Creek. We moved here three years ago after buying land and building our home. We were immediately drawn to Cove Creek during our house hunting by the beauty of the landscape and the amenities of the marina and golf. As boaters we have enjoyed having the marina and Chesapeake Bay so close to our home. After we moved in we met many of our neighbors through community social events and dog walking. There are families and couples of all ages and although we each have so much privacy there is a strong sense of community and common interest in maintaining the features we all enjoy in the neighborhood."    Lindsay Presti- Young Mother

Golf Course

General Information

The Cove Creek Golf Course was designed by golf architect Linsay Bruce Ervin and was constructed in 1979-1981.  The course covers 75 acres and has beautiful Patriot Bermuda Fairways.  Additional golf facilities at Cove Creek includes a Pro Shop,  putting green, and practice range with chipping green and practice sand bunker.

The course is physically nine holes but has 6 sets of tees on each hole that allows the course to play as 18 distinct holes.  The course plays about 5,600 yards from the back tees and is USGA rated and sloped at 118 for men. From the front tees the course plays about 4,300 yards and is sloped at 115 for women.  The middle tees plays about 4,700 yards and is sloped at 101 for men and 123 for women.

The course has three distinctive par 3’s, two par 5’s and four par 4’s on each nine hole side.  For 18 holes, 22 bunkers come into play.  Some of the course meanders alongside Cove and Tanner’s Creek and its signature hole, number 3/12, is directly on the Eastern Bay providing one of the most beautiful golf holes in the state.  The number 5/14 hole is a double dog leg par 5, the only such hole on Maryland’s Eastern shore.
