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.

Seaside is a challenge

Had to move over to Seaside course today due to an outing and conditions were great and greens were excellent. The course layout is old school with tree lined doglegs and challenging smaller and undulating greens. If you are in the correct position the holes are accessible but tough to hit from wrong spot off the tee. Had a great day as pace was quick and never had to wait.

A Little Deceiving

There is absolutely no water on this course besides little ponds. Will recommend if you like country club style courses but if you want water this course isn’t for you.

Not the best value

Course pales in comparison to Newport Bay from the fairways to the slow greens.

Slow play

This was our fifth outing, for the week playing different courses in the OC MD area. Not impressed with the course compared to the many others available to choose from. Slow play is the understatement of the day. Could never get into a groove because every hole was excruciating and aggravating as we watched a bunch of wannabe pros take 5-8 minutes in front of their ball before swinging. The whole experience ruined what was an excellent week of golf. We left after 14 holes 4 hours...don’t believe the hype. Too many great courses to choose from in the OC area.

Glen is the best!

OMG! Here we are a twosome coming into a bunch of foursomes ahead of us and we are waiting at the first tee and up drives Glen in his cart. He says to us “Follow me. I have a better idea”. So he puts us on number 10 and we played for 9 holes with a fast threesome in front of us. Then we are again waiting one number one with two foursomes ahead of us and he puts us on number 4, again NO WAIT! We played through 9 and came back to one and who was there to meet us but good ole Glen. He apologized to us for the last 3 but said he was out of options.

Glen went above and beyond in customer satisfaction and , in my opinion, Buddy, you are not paying this guy enough! He should be treated as he treats others! You need to remember what a valuable employee he truly is.

Disappointed

On vacation and excited to play a round on this beautiful course. Unfortunately the course looked nothing like the pictures. The picture they show is for The bayside not the seaside. They don't say that online. We played along the main road..... Not very nice to be tricked. And I could have spent less on a hot deal for the bay but wanted to play along the water view so I spent the extra money. So disappointing.... Ps starter was extra cranky.
