The Links at Perry Cabin occupies a waterfront setting in Saint Michaels, a historic maritime town on Maryland's Eastern Shore along the Miles River. Pete Dye designed the course in the mid-1990s as part of the Inn at Perry Cabin resort property, bringing his characteristic design approach to the Chesapeake Bay region. The layout incorporates the flat to gently rolling terrain typical of the Eastern Shore, with water features and strategic bunkering that reflect Dye's preference for visual intimidation and precise shot-making. The course plays through a landscape shaped by tidal marshes and mature hardwoods, with views across the Miles River providing a sense of place distinct to the Chesapeake. Dye's design includes railroad ties, pot bunkers, and undulating greens that require careful club selection and course management. The routing takes advantage of the property's water frontage on several holes, though the layout balances risk-reward opportunities with more forgiving passages suited to resort play. Saint Michaels itself is known for its maritime heritage and colonial architecture, and the course serves primarily resort guests and members in a setting that emphasizes both golf and the broader Chesapeake Bay experience. The Inn at Perry Cabin, a luxury property with historical roots, provides the context for the golf facility, which operates as an amenity within the broader hospitality offering rather than as a standalone championship venue.
