Rum Pointe Seaside Golf Links:
A Stunning Setting Carved Into a Dye Dynamo.
Sitting on a gorgeous piece of land along the shores of Sinepuxent Bay, across from Assateague Island and its wild horse colony, lays Rum Pointe Seaside Golf Links. This windswept Pete and P.B. Dye design, proudly part of the Ruark Golf collection, was crafted to be a challenging world-class resort golf experience, while maximizing the stunning views of this seaside vista. Any course in the Dye portfolio is going to have creative bunkering, abundant water, wild slopes and the trademark railway ties and Rum Pointe is no exception. Routed along a beautiful shoreline, with view of the dunes of Assateague State Park to the east, the course has all but one hole garnering water views. With a beautiful variety of length, precision and heroic shots demanded, Rum Pointe is an absolute when visiting the Maryland coast.

Feature Holes Descriptions:
The holes routing back to the clubhouse are exacting approaches. Number Five is a mid-iron Par 3 with a large pond playing the entire length of the left side to the large well-sloped green. Depending on the direction of the ever present wind you might have to risk a target of the middle of the pond to stand a chance to land safely near the green. The Ninth Hole is reminiscent of another famous Dye finishing hole with a wooden bulkhead from tee to green down the left and no room to miss an approach to that side. The Par 5 tenth is the first of a series of tight heavily treed holes, this one with a narrow pond down the right side of this narrow fairway. Three precise shots are needed to get home here. The finish wraps around the opposite side of the pond that guarded the 9th. A sharper dogleg this time going to the right, this lengthy brute challenges you all the way to the bottom of the cup.
