Ocean City Golf Club offers two championship courses: Newport Bay and Seaside. Opened in 1959, the Seaside Course is the club's original layout and since opening it has remained an Eastern shore favorite. It has a more traditional design than the other course, which underwent a renovation and rebuild. Seaside offers classic greens tightly lined with bunkers that are balanced with wide-open, player-friendly fairways. It is a challenging but playable test that is popular amongst locals. Five sets of tees make it even more approachable. The views of the marshes and bay, as well as the trees, give the course the feel of one in the Carolinas. In addition to the two courses, Ocean City Golf Club also offers a driving range and putting green before teeing off.

Seaside is nice, Newport Bay is Amazing

We booked not knowing either course. Seaside is a nice course but if you want scenic, amazing, challenging, “destination” golf, the Newport course is the one to do. The staff was absolutely phenomenal. Paul who was managing the flow of the golfers, made the experience 10x better. We will absolutely return.

Good course

Flat, tree-lined fairways and small greens. Over and over again. Fun but not challenging layout. Course overall is in great shape, and the greens are nice if a bit soft and slow. It's an easy course if you can get off the tee's and keep it on the correct side of fairway. Old trees overhang nearly every fairway and create sometimes tight corridors toward several dog legs. Place the tee shot in right spot and the approach shot is easy. Bunkers are in good shape. Rinse and repeat. Par 3's are simple. Each one is a Birdie opportunity.

Enjoyable.

Course is in excellent condition. T.ee Boxes, fairways and greens We're in amazing shape.. Green speed actually matched the practice green.. Played the seaside course, which is Mostly tree-lined. It has quite a few doglegs, so positioning your ball for a shot to the green was important. Played the course in the afternoon on a very hot day and the air quality was not good.Because we had some of that smoke from the canadian fires. Which I think kept people away, that's why we did it in less than 4 hours.. Overall, really enjoyed The round. For $49 on Golfnow, it was well worth it.

Welcoming course

On vacation for the week, and found this course in golf now. Nice course, flatter than we’re used to. Our threesome got paired with a local who was very helpful navigation the course. Starter we dealt with was a great guy, chatted a bit and was great with my two sons. Would play again

Slow play!

Nice course. We had a 1pm tee time and play was slow all afternoon. Unfortunately, we had to leave after 14 holes as it was 5:00pm and there were two foursomes ahead of us waiting to tee off on 15. Not ideal.

Vacation Golf Round

The golf course and layout the were in good condition. The staff was offputting and not inviting to enjoy the facilities while we were waiting. We felt rushed and pushed around from the clubhouse to the bar area without too much information as to when we would tee off. We were paired up with a wonderful player/anniversary member— so that did help the day and we enjoyed that most of all!

Always enjoyable

This is my go-to course in Ocean city, Not extremely difficult, but plenty of sand play if you chose 😉. I don't know, but I just like it!

Great value great shape.

Great outing! Pace of play was a bit slow with all of the walkers. Tee boxes and fairways were pristine!!! Greens are always an issue in Ocean City. For the love of Pete please fix your balll marks on the greens. Rule of thumb: fix your mark and someone else’s. Will definitely be back
