Cedar Point at Cedar Point Golf Club

Cedar Point Golf Club sits along the Patuxent River in southern Maryland, approximately sixty miles southeast of Washington, D.C. The course was designed by Fred Findlay, a regional architect active in the mid-Atlantic during the mid-twentieth century who created several layouts in Maryland and Virginia. Cedar Point occupies a relatively flat, low-lying site characteristic of the Chesapeake Bay watershed, where tidal influences and proximity to water shape both the landscape and playing conditions.

The routing takes advantage of the property's natural features, with holes moving through corridors of mature hardwoods and pines typical of the coastal plain. Water comes into play on several holes, reflecting the course's riverside setting, and the generally level terrain allows for straightforward walking. The design emphasizes accuracy and course management rather than dramatic elevation changes or forced carries, making it accessible to a range of skill levels while still presenting strategic interest for better players.

Cedar Point serves as a public facility and has long been a fixture in the local golfing community, drawing players from the nearby Patuxent River Naval Air Station and surrounding towns in St. Mary's County. The club provides a traditional golf experience in a region where military presence and Chesapeake maritime culture intersect, offering a straightforward test of golf in a setting defined by the rivers and woodlands of southern Maryland's tidewater country.
