Golf in Gibson Island

Gibson Island is one of the most exclusive private communities in Maryland, a gated island at the mouth of the Magothy River where it meets the Chesapeake Bay in Anne Arundel County. Access to the island is restricted to residents and their guests, making Gibson Island Golf Course one of Maryland's most inaccessible golf experiences—not through cost alone, but through the fundamental requirement of community membership. The island's water-surrounded setting, with Bay winds coming from multiple directions, creates golf conditions unlike any mainland course. The community's population is tiny, its amenities private, and its character defined by the kind of exclusivity that money alone cannot purchase.
