Thinking About Living in Chester River Yacht & Country Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Chester River Yacht & Country Club and the surrounding Eastern Shore — Chesapeake Bay Country golf market.
Chester River Yacht & Country Club, founded in 1929, is a private club on Quaker Neck Road outside Chestertown that pairs an 18-hole golf course with genuine yachting infrastructure -- a private boat launch, storage and slips on the Chester River -- reflecting the northern Eastern Shore's long-standing combination of golf and boating in one club. It is a dues-based, application-driven private club rather than a bundled residential amenity: no single subdivision is built directly around it, though the surrounding Chester River waterfront corridor, about a mile from downtown Chestertown, is an established area of custom waterfront homes and estates.
Golf & Course
The 18-hole course is routed through farmland, woods and ponds, bounded on the east by the Chester River. Architect, par and yardage were not confirmed from a first-party source this session.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Membership is by application, with dues described by the club as 'reasonably priced' across multiple membership options, but no specific dollar figures are published. Homeownership in the surrounding area does not include or require membership.
Living in Chester River Yacht & Country Club
No single residential subdivision is purpose-built around the club. The Chester River waterfront corridor near the club, about a mile from downtown Chestertown, includes both classic mid-century ranch homes and larger custom waterfront estates, per local real-estate marketing -- but this is a general area characterization, not a documented club-to-neighborhood relationship.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Amenities include golf, a swimming pool, dining, bocce, and full yachting infrastructure (private boat launch, dry storage, slips).
Location & Surrounding Area
Chestertown, the Kent County seat, is a historic Chester River town about an hour and a half from both Baltimore and the Bay Bridge -- a quieter, more rural counterpart to Talbot County's Easton/St. Michaels corridor.
