Golf in Lake Shore

Lake Shore is an Anne Arundel County community on the Patapsco River's tidal mouth near the point where it empties into the upper Chesapeake Bay, a waterfront-residential area with direct Bay access and strong maritime character. Compass Point Golf Course references the navigational culture of a community where the Bay is the central organizing feature of life—recreational boating, crabbing, and waterfront dining compete with golf for leisure time. The community's position between Baltimore's harbor approaches and the Bay Bridge crossing gives Lake Shore a distinctive geography, and the course provides a recreational outlet that complements the water-based activities that dominate Bay-community leisure life.
