Lakes Course
Queenstown, MD, USA




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.
