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.

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.

Well kept

Very nice course. Very good condition. Greens, fairways and tees were in great condition. Only suggestion would be to have a hole layout on the score card to get an idea of where the hole was going. I wasn't sure weather to layup on a few par 5's. There's a par 4 that was a yard longer than a par 5. If definitely return to play Newport bay.

Average course but can't beat the price.

Golfed alone, Paid $22 for 18, teed off 5 minutes late behind a father and his young son. They let me play through. Caught up to a couple of older gentleman, I was sitting at every tee box on the back 9 waiting for them. Finally on the 18th hole, they asked if I wanted to play with them. Course was in decent shape, just other golfers need to learn etiquette. Would recommend this course, but not if you're paying full price and/or have somewhere to be after your round

Ocean City Golf Club - Seaside

The course was in good shape and pleasant, though not challenging to play. The pace of play was good until we caught up to a group of some 6 or 7 foursomes for whom the drinking, shouting and cursing were clearly the highlights of the day. Even though their behavior was observed by the person operating the drink cart, no action was taken by management either to speed them up or shut them up. These people spoiled the day and we did not finish our round. Fortunately, we had a great Golf Now rate, so even the 16 holes we played we a bargain.

Good for higher handicaps

Reasonably priced with tree lined fairways on most holes where errant shots can be played back to the fairways. No forced carries over marsh like many of the other OC courses. Conditioning OK but not spectacular.

Horrible

Course conditions horrible! Would not recommend. They have 2 courses here. If you use golf now, they make you play at the "seaside" course that is horrible. The other course there is much better but they said since we payed through golf now we play on seaside course. Do not play this one... Conditions are horrible, would not recommend and will not go back!

OC trip

Please put some water on the course. You can't get a drink until you make the turn. 90 degrees plus without a cold drink is tough. The staff told us there was a drink cart on the course but we never saw it. Ranger and pro shop staff courteous. One other thing, the course is called seaside and the water is a distant view.
