Carl horton memorial golf outing

River Marsh Golf Course
100 Heron Blvd. at Route 50, Cambridge, Maryland 21613
https://www.rivermarshgolfclub.com/golf-course/course-description

Tuesday, June 14, 2022
Golf Outing, Tee Times Start at 12:30 p.m.

Overlooking the historic Choptank River, the Keith Foster-designed golf course at River Marsh Golf Club has added a decidedly happier atmosphere to the grounds of what was once a mental hospital. One of the last undeveloped spots along the Choptank, with Maryland's leading Eastern Shore golf course boasts virgin forest, open fields, and untouched riverfront with views of almost a mile to the opposite shore. The green on No. 18 sits on the river and the finishing hole hugs it all the way home. This property has a coastal, almost Low Country feel, with marshy areas carved through 90-foot tall, majestic hardwoods. Fairways are a generous 35 to 45 yards wide. Pockets of sand already there have been left as a native feature and additional four to five foot deep, lacy-edged bunkers have been incorporated into the holes and around the greens.

Boxed Lunch: A boxed lunch will be provided on each golf cart. Included: Turkey sandwich, fresh fruit, chips, and bottled water. A vegetarian option is available upon request. Please specify when registering with ACPC.

Rentals: Golf club rentals are $55. Payment is due on the day of the tournament when you pick them up. Please indicate when registering if you will require rentals and if they need to be left or right-handed. If you prefer to contact the pro shop directly, please call 410-901-6397.

Dress Code: Collared shirts must be worn and no denim is allowed on the golf course. 

The golf outing/tournament and shotgun start vs. tee times will depend on registration numbers. Start time: 12:30 p.m. Please arrive 30 minutes prior to the start time to check-in and pick up rentals.  The driving range is included in your outing fees and will be open 1 hour before the shotgun start.

Proudly brewing since the summer of 2013 with no intentions of slowing down, striving to continuously produce products that our community can take pride in."

Participants will enjoy a tour of the brewing operations, beer tasting, and 750ml crowler to take home! Located about 15 minutes from the Hyatt.
