Thinking About Living in Swan Point Yacht & Country Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Swan Point Yacht & Country Club and the surrounding Southern Maryland golf market.
Swan Point began as a modest nine-hole Southern Maryland course along the Potomac River and was expanded to an 18-hole championship layout by Bob Cupp (with Jacobson Golf Course Design) in the late 1980s, at the same time the surrounding land was being planned and marketed as Charles County's only 'Waterfront Planned Resort Community.' Surrounded on three sides by the Potomac River and Cuckold Creek, Swan Point today combines the golf course with a marina, waterfront pool, clubhouse, tennis and pickleball courts, and hiking trails, with custom homes on wooded 1/3-1/2 acre lots carrying water, golf-course, or waterfront frontage. A further phase, the planned 'Villages at Swan Point,' would add more housing clustered to preserve open space and water/golf views.
Golf & Course
The 18-hole, par-72 course (6,859 yards) has been ranked among the top 10 golf courses in Maryland by at least one source. Bob Cupp, a golf-course architect and consultant to Augusta National, led the expansion from the original nine holes in the late 1980s.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
The course itself is generally described as public. Whether homeownership at Swan Point requires or bundles club membership is not consistently documented -- available property listings show materially different fee structures (some presenting club dues as a required monthly charge alongside HOA dues, others less clearly so), which reads as a genuine, unresolved conflict rather than a single answer this research can confidently state.
Living in Swan Point Yacht & Country Club
Swan Point's residential lots were planned alongside the golf course expansion from the 1980s onward, giving the community a genuine single-project origin story (golf and homes developed together) rather than a club later surrounded by unrelated development. The planned 'Villages at Swan Point' phase would extend this further.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Amenities span golf, a marina, a waterfront pool, tennis and pickleball courts, a clubhouse with dining, and hiking/jogging trails -- a fuller resort-style amenity base than most Southern Maryland golf communities.
Location & Surrounding Area
Issue, in Charles County, sits on a peninsula bounded by the Potomac River and Cuckold Creek in Southern Maryland, giving Swan Point direct water access alongside its golf identity.
