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.

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

Very nice day spent on this course. The ruff could have been cut a little lower but fairways and greens are in great shape. Challenging yet enjoyable to play.

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.

The course was having a special this weekend for green fees. We found the course to be in great shape with a friendly staff. While we teed off at 3:15 there was nobody on front or behind us. Would come back next time in OC

Played the Seaside course and was impressed with the condition and layout. Pace of play left a little to be desired but wasn't horrible. Looking forward to getting back to play Newport Bay.
