About Us
The Drum Point Club was formed in 1983 by a group of residents who wished to conserve a unique 25 acre property from development. This private, non-profit, social club was organized exclusively for recreation, educational and outreach purposes, and the preservation of the nature and open space. The Club is at the very tip of Drum Point where the Patuxent River meets the Chesapeake Bay.
Drum Point Club members enjoy a private clubhouse, fishing pier, fire pit and expansive sandy beaches.
Drum Point Club is NOT the same as DPPOA
There is evidently some confusion about The Drum Point Club. We are a private, non-profit club for Drum Point property owners who choose to purchase a membership. This allows paid members to use the facilities of the Club grounds. Membership information is listed below.
The Drum Point Property Owners Association (DPPOA) is the Home Owners Association for Drum Point homeowners who pay yearly assessments. DPPOA has its own beach and office. The DPPOA website is www.dppoa.org
History
Drum Point was once part of a colonial land grant called Eltonhead Manor. It passed down through many generations and owners until it was finally sold to the Drum Point Corporation in 1948 which sought to develop the land into a resort community. The Chesapeake Ranch Club acquired the Drum Point Community in 1969. In 1983, the Drum Point Project, Inc. (DPPI) was created and purchased the infrastructure of the community from the Chesapeake Ranch Club. In 1986, DPPI sold all properties, one exception being the point property itself, which was retained and operated as a separate, privately-owned club.
