Ocean City Golf Club - Seaside

Two courses
Seaside; Short classic course from the 50's. Small greens with few bunkers.
Newport: Modern, longer, more bunkered, and more difficult. Water in play.
Problems: Greens are fast,hard-many shots roll thru.
Bunkers:many have poor sand and hard.
Rough: Splotchy,uneven-play preferred lies.
N.B. This is a public golf course!

My tee time was 2:12. The course was so backed up that we didn't tee off until about 2:35 or 2:40 and finished about 7 p.m. We arrived an hour before our tee time so it makes for a long day. The course didn't even have enough carts for the golfers. The price I paid on GolfNow made it worth it. If I had paid the full price charged by the golf course, I would have been furious. The course conditions in no way reflect the rates they are charging.

Pace of play was great. 4 hour round on a Saturday. Can't beat it

Course was in pretty good shape considering it was cart path only. The rain this spring has left the course soggy and soft. Will have to come back to play when it is a bit dryer.

Greens were in good overall condition. Fairways and tee boxes were a bit rough. Not worth the premium rate Ocean City Golf and Yacht Club charge in the summer. I'd only play again for a discounted rate I would never pay full price for this course. Not with some of the other options in the area for the same price or less.

One of my favorite courses in the Ocean City area. I play this one more frequently than the others in my area. The two 18 hole courses provide a challenge for the beginner as well as the seasoned player. Great value, quick play and a fantastic staff is why more tournaments are held at the Ocean City course. Their club house, pro shop and banquet facilities a just a few of the many reasons for its popularity.10/28/2013Ocean City

Newport Bay Course is a nicer and more difficult course than Seaside, but the pace of play on Seaside is faster. That said, we enjoyed them both. We'll be back next year

Seaside is a good choice for the budget-minded golfer going to Ocean City. The course is not as scenic or as close to the water as its sister course, Newport Bay, but still has its attractions. This is very much an old-style course with many doglegs. Accuracy is more important than length.

I played on a day when they had an outing going on their other course. The staff in the restaurant was busy setting up for the outing and I couldn't get anything before my round. Fortunately they had a beverage cart operating. Other than that the course was in great condition and the pace of play was very good. We played in a little over four hours even though it was cart path only.

Course is in great shape. It is not the prettiest course but it is a fun round.

The course was in good shape., The experience from the bag drop to the end of the round was super.

Course in very good shape. Greens and fringes in very good shape. I enjoy playing the course. I play it often. Only down side no water coolers on course. Big prblem if it is hot/humid. Make sure you have water or get it at the clubhouse before you go out.

Upon our arrival we were warmly greeted and assisted by the staff. The course layout was explained to us and the rules for the day laid out. The condition of the course was very good. We moved along at even pace and never met delays.
The course is user friendly and enjoyable. There was just the right amount of challenge for the average recreational player.
Great value and we will play there again next season.

The other course had a member/guest tournament going on so we could play that course. I would skip this course and play the other course. A few bucks more, but clearly they spend more time maintaining the other course.

Both courses at Ocean City (Newport and Seaside) are always in great condition, offer a challenge for golfers of all levels with many interesting holes. The staff is always helpful and friendly, but not pushy about it. Never had a bad experience there and have played there at least 20 times per year since 2006.

We played Seaside .. I couldn't help but notice that each hole is challenging but fair .. There are no required 200 yard carries over marsh or water .. no extremely narrow fairways ... but most par 4s and 5s have doglegs and are well-bunkered ..Very playable

Greens were in excellent shape and so were the fairways. I would add some more ponds to make it a bit tougher and I would rate it a 5. Rough is tough to hit out of but that is what they made fairways.

Course met all expectations. Lots of sand and water, beautiful fairways. greens very soft and in excellent condition. The only bad thing I could say and this was a fault of a couple bad drives, is stay away from wood edges bugs were vicious!

Great condition from tee to greens. Cart girl came frequent but there was no drinking water on the course.

This course is good if you just want to get out and swing the club. I went with my daughter who is just learning the game and the course was perfect for her. Very wide open course with little trouble. If you are looking for something more scenic there are many other courses that offer much better quality. I have played about 8 different courses in this area and this course is just ok.
