The Easton Course
Waterview Grille At The Easton Club
About this course
The Easton Club sits on Maryland's Eastern Shore, a region known for its flat to gently rolling terrain, tidal waterways, and agricultural landscapes. The course was designed by Robert D. Rauch with Rich Mandell, architects who have worked on various projects in the Mid-Atlantic. The routing takes advantage of the area's characteristic topography, with fairways that likely move through open corridors and incorporate natural drainage patterns common to the Delmarva Peninsula. Eastern Shore courses typically feature strategic bunkering, water hazards fed by tidal creeks or ponds, and exposure to prevailing winds that can shift playing conditions throughout the day. The design likely emphasizes shot placement over pure length, rewarding golfers who navigate the layout thoughtfully rather than relying solely on distance. The relatively flat terrain allows for walkable rounds, though subtle elevation changes and green complexes provide visual interest and strategic variety. The Waterview Grille serves as the club's dining and social hub, suggesting a community-oriented facility that balances golf with hospitality. Easton itself is a historic town with colonial roots and a growing reputation for arts and dining, positioned between the Chesapeake Bay and the Choptank River. The club serves both local members and visitors exploring the Eastern Shore's quieter alternative to more crowded coastal destinations.

Getting there
The journey to Waterview Grille at The Easton Club begins at Baltimore-Washington International (BWI), roughly an hour's drive east across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and into Maryland's storied Eastern Shore. The crossing itself marks a distinct transition - urban corridors giving way to tidewater flatlands, working waterfronts, and the unhurried rhythm of the Delmarva Peninsula. As Route 50 carries you through Easton's historic downtown and toward the Miles River, the final turn reveals a low-country elegance befitting one of the Shore's most refined retreats, where golf and Chesapeake tradition converge in quiet harmony.
