Golf in Westover

Westover is a Somerset County community on the lower Eastern Shore, part of Maryland's most rural and economically modest region. The Somerset County landscape—vast tidal marshes, working waterman communities, and Crisfield's crab-picking operations a short distance south—represents the Eastern Shore at its most authentic and least developed. Great Hope Golf Course provides recreational golf access for a widely dispersed rural population with few leisure amenities. Somerset County's extraordinary natural character—Janes Island State Park and the traditional skipjack oyster harvest—makes it a destination for nature-oriented visitors who find the lower Eastern Shore's undeveloped character compelling in an era when most of Maryland's coastline has been heavily developed.
