Maryland possesses a great variety of topography,
hence its nickname, "America in Miniature."[10] It ranges from sandy dunes
dotted with seagrass in the east, to low marshlands teeming with wildlife
and large bald cypress near the bay, to gently rolling hills of oak forest
in the Piedmont Region, and pine groves in the mountains to the west.
Physical regions of Maryland Tidal wetlands of the Chesapeake Bay, largest estuary in the United States and the largest physical feature in Maryland.
Maryland is bounded on the north by Pennsylvania, on the west by West Virginia, on the east by Delaware and the Atlantic Ocean, and on the south, across the Potomac River, by West Virginia and Virginia. The mid-portion of this border is interrupted on the Maryland side by Washington, DC, which sits on land that was originally part of Maryland. The Chesapeake Bay nearly bisects the state, and the counties east of the bay are known collectively as the Eastern Shore.
Along with its diverse topography Maryland offers a wide array of golfing facilities that can challenge any skill level.
