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.

This review is for the Newport course. I signed up for the seaside, but from what I can tell, that is an inferior course. Anyway upon arrival they moved my time to play with another group on the Newport and I am glad they did. Make sure they do that for you too if possible. Great condition, traps were still wet, but no big deal. Great views, placement of shot important (played from blues). Ranger a bit pushy but friendly. Rate is fair. Would play again.

Good time

Seeing how it was week of the 4th of July and it was crowded as expected. But yet all went well and smoothly great staff and course was in very good condition seeing how it was the middle of summer and have been getting hit with a hot heat wave for the last week plus.

Ocean City Golf Club:Seaside Course

I found this course to be in the best condition of the local courses I've played in a long time. Fairways, greens were very nice. Highly recommend, at least for the weekend golfer.

Day at the club

Discounted price was good.

Warm welcome upon arrival.

Easy check-in.

Started on-time.

No one in front of us.

Fast play.

Group behind us was a little slow.

Marshall asked us to pick up the pace for some reason. - that was a little strange since we were way ahead of next group and playing ready golf. It bothered one of our players.

Frequent visits by refreshment cart.

Course was in good shape.

Overall a great day.

Course Unplayable

I had never played here before. We had received a ton of rain. I was surprised the course open. The starter informed me it was cart path only, which I expected considering the amount of rain we had. I played 9 holes and quit. The course was unplayable. You couldn’t take relief from casual water because there was no relief. Balls disappeared in the fairway plugged below the surface. I guess they’ll do anything for money.

Avoid it if you can.

Driving up the fairways looked weird and at that time I had no idea what was going on. Asked the Pro Shop employee and he explained that the front nine last year was closed for reseeding. Well the fairways on all 18 looked the same. They were patchy at best and completely saturated by 3 inches of 2 days prior. The weather has nothing to do with the lack of grass. I’ve played 5 different courses since January and none looked remotely like this. I think it’s going to take many more months before it resembles what a fairway should look like.

I personally do not like playing target golf. Almost half the holes seemed to have some kind of significant dog leg to them.

I think the next time I play there I’ll definitely play Newport as that offer much nicer views of the water. Seaside is just tree lined and no views of the water besides a pond or two. . Hopefully the fairways are not in the same condition.

Not For Me

$85 for a round of Golf during the “off season for a course that at best is “ok”. Wasn’t worth the $$

No gps on cart, so unless u are playing with a member, navigating the course is a challenge. That would be the one thing that makes it not worth the $$. Price included 12 range balls.

Practice area is decent.

Greens in great shape. Fairways had been over seeded for winter, fair shape for October.

Not a course to bomb your driver unless u are very accurate.

Bag drop and starter clueless. Steve at the bag drop in 40 years of playing golf all the world is the rudest and nastiest individual and should never have direct contact with the public.
