Ocean Pines Golf Club

The tee boxes were pretty rough. Some patches of grass on sand. It was difficult to maintain adequate footing. Many of the fairways were fairly chewed up as well. Most of the on course ball washers were completely empty. Ball washer filling is easy and on a Saturday to have most completely dry is a management problem.

Course was in ok shape but grass needed cut . Spent way too much time looking for balls.

Course conditions were very pore. Crab grass growing in majority of greens. Charged $25 for my wife to ride along

I first played this course about 5 years ago after seeing it on GolfNow and I make it a priority to play the course when visiting if a discounted tee time becomes available. The only Robert Trent Jones Sr. course on MD’s Eastern Shore (I’m pretty sure), the course requires strong shotmaking, all the clubs in your bag, and consistently keeping the ball in play on the mostly tree-lined course. Although I still never have recorded a score on the 12th hole (grrr), the fact that I recorded two pars for the first time will make me want to come back!

This is a nice course but there are little to no yardage markers. We had a Marshall drive past us and I thought they were going to ask us to pick up the pace. He only wanted feedback on the course, and we suggested “simple yardage markers Red (100 yds), White (150 yds), Blue (200 yds)”. The Marshall acknowledged there were only “red brick markers on the back 9 holes indicating 200 yds”. We were left scratching our heads - that made no sense. I noticed how many sprinkler heads were marked for numerical identification - take the obvious next step and add the yardage to the center of the green. With no GPS on the cart, please make this small change. It would help the pace of play as well.

Some fairways I need much work

Course could use more water stations

Rough was inconsistent, some areas thick with crabgrass

Greens in nice condition

Course was in good shape except for a couple

chewed up fairways and tee boxes. But otherwise good. Stay out of the rough! Very thick, lush and hard to get out of. Staff was friendly and we had a good 19th hole in their clubhouse.

There were literally hundreds of huge swarming ground dwelling hornets on several greens. We had to walk of the greens and left a ball or two in the bunkers. Paid for18 but after 9 we were done. The person in the pro shop offered a rain check for 9 but were from out of state. I had to complain further to get her to grab her boss to authorize a nine hole refund. Tough course though with nice water features.

Rough to high unplayable. Greens incredibly slow. I could have got closer chipping a 9 iron

The course was in good shape on a hot day. The greens were slow but in very good condition. It was a very HOT day and they did not provide water at any of the holes for drinking or staying cool. They had a bathroom on the course with a water fountain outside, but the fountain for water was turned off.
