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.

A hot day. The course was in good shape. Maybe the locals knew something we didn't since there was nobody in front or behind us. Unfortunately, the mosquitoes were out in force. Maybe the Newport Bay course would been better to keep the mosquitoes away.

Hidden gem

Tucked away near Assateague Island beach, the course was a pleasure to play. Nicely manicured and well thought out. Mostly flat which I greatly appreciated. Greens guarded by bunkers. Really enjoyed it.

Nice and somewhat challenging

Like the course. Sometimes though it seems that there are too many people on the course that are I. a hurry to get to the 19th hole. I'm a 10 handicap so I know I'm not playing slow. Relax and enjoy the day!!

Very playable track

Closed out my trip here. It's a very playable track good for the first day actually. Not alot of hazards or major trouble but still challenging enough. Has rained all week so cart paths only. I had the first tee time and played alone in 2:38 which is fast even for me. Considering the rain the greens were in great shape , There was some work being done on the tee boxes but overall a very enjoyable round

A level playing field..

Course, including greens and tee boxes were in decent shape. Had cart path only because of rain the night before but play was fast. Use to hills, slopes, etc in Pa. So enjoyed playing a course without having to adjust for those type of shots. Used Golf Now and saved $$, but the person at the counter seemed to treat me as a second class citizen, knowing they were not earning any fees from my tee time.

Course was in good shape considering the dry summer we've had. Rough was a bit challenging. Staff was very cordial. Overall a good value for the price.

Bugs and No water

We had an 8:20am tee time. We started on time. It was about 95 degrees outside. As we started the round we were all getting bitten by a flying bug. It was so annoying that we stopped the ranger and used his bug spray. Apparently it was a known issue. We then bought an $8 bottle of bug spray at the turn. It was 95 degrees out and the Seaside course has zero water to drink on the course and we never noticed a cart girl. They want you to spend money at the clubhouse. For $55 a little water on the course is not to much to ask for. The greens are in good shape. The fairways are decent, the rough had a number of dirt/mud areas. The layout is not very creative. We played lighthouse sound afterward for $14 more and it was an experience of a lifetime. I do not recommend Ocean City Golf Seaside to anyone.
