Queenstown Harbor Golf Links


About this course
Queenstown Harbor Golf Links' Lakes Course sits along Maryland's Eastern Shore, part of a resort community near the Chesapeake Bay bridges. Lindsay Ervin designed the course, which opened in the early 1990s as part of the property's multi-course development. The layout occupies relatively flat terrain characteristic of the Delmarva Peninsula, with water features integrated throughout the design to create both strategic interest and visual definition across the holes. The course takes its name from the numerous lakes and ponds that come into play, a common design approach for courses built on low-lying Eastern Shore land where natural water tables sit close to the surface. These hazards require careful club selection and course management, particularly on approach shots where forced carries test mid-to-high handicappers. The routing moves through residential development, though mature tree plantings help frame fairways and provide separation between holes. Queenstown Harbor serves primarily as a public-access facility, drawing golfers from the Baltimore-Washington corridor who cross the Bay Bridge for weekend rounds. The property offers a more relaxed alternative to the region's higher-profile destinations on the Delmarva Peninsula, functioning as part of the Eastern Shore's network of accessible daily-fee courses that cater to metropolitan players seeking convenient escapes from urban areas.

Getting there
The journey to Queenstown Harbor Golf Links begins at Baltimore/Washington International Airport (BWI), roughly ninety minutes north by car, or at the closer regional hub of Easton Airport (ESN) on Maryland's Eastern Shore, a mere thirty minutes away. From either gateway, the route descends into the quiet waterfront landscape of the Upper Eastern Shore, where the Chesapeake Bay's influence gradually reshapes the horizon - flat agricultural land giving way to tidal marshes and glimpses of water through stands of loblolly pine. The final approach winds through the historic village of Queenstown itself, a colonial-era settlement that has long served as a haven for those seeking refuge from the urban corridor, before arriving at the club's waterfront setting overlooking the harbor. This transition from the interstate to the intimate, salt-tinged roads of the Shore marks the true arrival - a shift from the hurried world beyond into the measured pace of Queenstown Harbor Golf Links.
