Eastern Shore Yacht and Country Club dates to 1961 and plays as an 18-hole, par-70 parkland course overlooking Taylor Creek. The design is credited to Ed Ault, Russell Roberts and Tom Clark, with bentgrass greens and Bermuda fairways.
Several holes carry across Taylor Creek, opening views over the Chesapeake Bay marshlands at Harborton. The layout rewards placement and accuracy rather than distance, keeping it playable for a range of abilities.
Facilities include a clubhouse, pro shop, practice range and putting green. A Tiki Bar sits between the front and back nine for seasonal dining, with orders able to be phoned in from the course.
