Located just six miles west of Ocean City, Md., Ocean Resorts Golf Club is a good option if you're looking for a round that is fun to play but still a good value. The course is known for being player friendly enough for any skill level but there are still several challenges in store with multiple sets of tees that range from 4,800 to 6,500 yards. Water hazards come into play on a few holes and there are also several strategically placed bunkers you'll have to contend with. The layout rewards proper club selection and good strategy but it's not overly punishing for high handicappers. A unique aspect of Ocean Resorts is that it's owned by the Wor-Wic Community College.

Came as expected

The course is interesting and more heavily wooded than most courses in Ocean City. Course requires some thought , its not a grip and rip it course. The issues with conditions were noticeable particularly in densely wooded areas where the greens have not grown in. One advantage is that during the time I was there it was getting little play so it was easy to get a tee time.

Worst Course Maintenance, EVER

This course should be a joy to play, as the location and layout are quite nice. Unfortunately, they do not maintain the course, at all. The greens were atrocious to the point of being unplayable, even for the casual golfer. There is absolutely no way to justify the $85 price tag. Ridiculous. Given the location, I could see paying $50 to play there, but it was not worth a penny more.

Poppy’s review

Considering it’s winter here on the Eastern Shore of Md. , the course is holding its own. Not much grass here & greens were aerated a couple months ago, but still have a lot sand & holes on them. Other patrons before me left a lot of ball marks all over the greens, which is ashame! Maybe by spring they’ll learn! I must’ve averaged 3-5 repairs each hole

Mixed emotions

Friendly staff, nice layout, and pace of play was great. Guessing all of this is the case because they know they had a tough summer with course conditions. The course needs lots of work. Most greens were unplayable. The tee boxes neededattention. I hope they can find the answers to those issues. We played for about $50 and I thought that was a lot based on the conditions.

This is the worst conditioned course I've ever played on Golfnow when there was no warning.

I paid, prepaid 78 dollars for this round. I was paired with two nice guys. One was a member .

Eight greens were unplayable. The member felt bad for how much I had paid.. I saw in my hotel coupons for 40 dollars and even that price would have been too much. I don't mind paying for good golf courses and I understand that weekends are more expensive. However, this course needs to be removed from Golfnow or there should be a notice of the poor condition. I called Golfnow after I finished the round to express my frustration. I was traveling and had other choices.

Friendly staff, poor conditions

Played by myself one summer afternoon. The staff was friendly and apologized that the course was not in great shape. Unfortunately, they were correct. Some fairways were very wet with pooled water. Many greens were completely dry - like putting on concrete. Layout was fun and challenging I was able to play quickly. Unfortunately as is now cannot recommend. If things improved, could be a solid muni, good vale.

Horrible conditions Don't Play 2025

I've never played on a course with such poor conditions. Tee boxes were either rolled dirt with no grass or sod that was either soaking wet and dead or just dead sod. Hit a ball into hazard on 10 filled sign that said drop zone ahead to find no drop zone sign or no area mowed to suggest a drop drop zone existed. Greens were rolled dirt with grooves going perpendicular all over, NO GRASS!

Don't do it!

Last year they closed for a few weeks to remedy issues they should have done that this year!! Horrible conditions.

Terrible Conditions

This course is in terrible conditions! When we arrived the gentleman at the desk stated that the course was not in good shape! After playing the first hole we realized he wasn’t exaggerating with that statement! The tee boxes were burnt, saturated with water and sod. The fairways were terrible, they hardly had grass on them. The greens were burnt and some didn’t even have grass. We didn’t even play the full 18 holes. When we finished playing 10 holes I spoke to the gentleman at the desk and he stated that the back 9 was worse than the front nine! Since we payed through Golf Now he couldn’t give us a refund but told us to make sure we let you know so that you could give us a credit! I have played this course in the past but I will never return after today’s experience! I did take a few pictures but I should have taken plenty more but this course really should closed for the season or at least until they are in better condition!

Don't play Ocean City Resorts 2025

The course is in horrible shape. T boxes are all over the place. T boxes are fresh wet dead sod or in-mowed random place. Signs for drop zone ahead yet when you drive up no drop sign or mowed area to assume a drop area. Can't find balls anywhere.

Don't get me started on greens!!! Might as well put on cement. There is no grass!! Just rolled dirt with patterned groves in every direction. I'd do better following the yellow brick road.

Save your money. Even with hot deals not worth it

Not worth a hot deal at $53

Bummer... other reviews were right. Rip off at $53 hot deal. The greens in the shade of the tall trees are bad - rotted, baked, or just dead. Many other areas of bald dirt/sand/mud around the course too. Fact. Tried to upload photos but couldn't.

Subjectively, the layout asks questions that are hard to answer. Short and tight can be fun, but this course wasn't fun. Opinion.

The practice area and price for balls was good.

River Run has similar problems with the conditions: too wet, bit only played there once, so maybe I caught it on a bad week.

Ocean Pines was alright.

Ruark courses are expensive, but I really like the Glen Riddle property. Haven't played the others. I'm a range rat, so having the range balls included adds a lot of value for me at the Ruark Properties - not shilling, just giving my perspective.

Ocean City Club looks alright too. Nice practice area.
