Thinking About Living in Chartwell Golf & Country Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Chartwell Golf & Country Club and the surrounding Southern Maryland golf market.
Chartwell Golf & Country Club was established in 1961 by architect Edmund Ault, conceived from the outset as a family-oriented private facility to serve the growing residential communities between Baltimore and Annapolis. The surrounding Chartwell neighborhood in Severna Park grew up around the club starting in the 1960s and today numbers 650+ homes on quiet, tree-lined streets; it was named 'Most Desirable Community to Reside' by the Severna Park Voice in 2023, and local real-estate marketing describes it explicitly as a golf community centered on the club. This is a genuine, decades-long case of a residential neighborhood organized around a private club, distinct from incidental proximity.
Golf & Course
The 18-hole, par-72 course (6,551 yards) was designed by Ed Ault and has since seen work from Al Jamison, Brian Ault, and Dan Schlegel. It occupies gently rolling, wooded terrain characteristic of classic American parkland design.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Chartwell is a private, non-equity club; membership across its five named tiers (Full Golf, Sports, Social, Junior Executive, Single) requires sponsorship by a current member and is not automatically included with a home purchase in the surrounding Chartwell neighborhood.
Living in Chartwell Golf & Country Club
Chartwell (the neighborhood) surrounds the club and numbers 650+ homes developed from the 1960s onward. Residents also have access to the separate St Andrews Swim & Tennis Club without its typically multi-year waiting list -- a documented neighborhood-level perk distinct from country-club membership itself.
Lifestyle & Amenities
The club's amenity base centers on a two-story Colonial clubhouse and seven Har-Tru tennis courts (three lighted), with the Ault-designed course as the anchor amenity.
Location & Surrounding Area
Severna Park sits between Baltimore and Annapolis with easy access to Route 97 and BWI Airport, in the heart of the Anne Arundel County corridor the club was founded to serve.
