Rating 71.0

Ocean City Golf Club boasts 36 holes of championship golf. The Seaside Course opened in 1959 and it was later joined by the Newport Bay Course. Both offer scenic views of the surrounding marshes and bay. Newport Bay is a formidable challenge but it will test your ability to think strategically, not your distance. Strategically placed bunkers come into play and the subtle contours of the landscape were utilized to their full extent. The course is a formidable test but it is player friendly enough to appeal to all skill levels. The golf course also touts some of the most scenic views on the Mid-Atlantic coast, although the surroundings are more Carolinian in feel. Both of Ocean City's courses offer something different. Seaside has a more traditional design but both offer plenty of variety.

Ocean City Newport

This course was in great shape after a wet winter. This is one of my favorite courses in the lower shore and really look forward to playing. I played with a large group and play was okay, not quick but not slow. Tine wise it was just short of 4.5 hours.

Worth the price

Greens were excellent, fairways haven’t turned but still easy to play from. Lot of fun, better than previous course conditions. Hope it stays that way.

Such a deal

I was pleasantly surprised by OCGC. The Newport Bay layout is very scenic and has some very challenging holes. The course was in generally good shape, although the fairways were still dormant and were light brown, instead of green (although they played fine.) I was skeptical because of the low price but our overall experience was fine and we'll definitely be back again.

Ocean City Golf Club Newport Bay

I read up on the Ocean City Golf Club Newport Bay course and knew that I wanted to play this course while I was in Ocean City. Unfortunately the Bermuda grass had not rebounded yet so it was golf cart path only. That was the only downside the rest of the course was in great shape and the greens Roald nicely. Recommend this course to everyone.

Course has very scenic vistas!

Very scenic course & a great value for Ocean City area courses. Course was very crowded, but they got us off on time & played in under 4 hours on a Sunday. Beautiful views of the bay & enjoyed the layout.

Great round

I have only been playing since 2013 and have played this course one time before, the course is in very good shape for the time of year greens are in great shape as well. I shot my best score with the temperature of 41 degrees and Cary path only with course soaking wet 78 . Look out , if I can do it under these conditions how low will I go in great weather. Great layout great people . Come enjoy the course.

Challenging course with beautiful scenery

Played this course twice on our foursome golf trip. Very surprised at the excellent layout, condition of the greens and scenery as compared to the Seaside course. We had a great time and will put it on the list for next year!

Average Front 9, Back 9 worth a play

Nothing special about the front nine at Newport Bay, your average run of the mill course. The back nine takes much better advantage of the surroundings, providing nice views and an interesting layout. Several holes where the marsh and water come into play, making for some more interesting shots as opposed to the front nine. Staff was friendly but did not go the extra mile to make the experience complete. Bag drop team seemed a bit scattered, no club cleaning at the finish. Kitchen was closed at 4pm. Worth a play if you're local. Will try another course next time down there though.

Good on a windy Sunday morning

The course is in good condition, as a beginning player I found it reasonably challenging. They need to improve the signage for the holes and directions to the next tee.

Great Round

Course was in prime condition due to a Pro/AM going on the prior two days. Regardless the course was healthy and clean and I play this course at least twice a month. And would say it’s in top 5 due to afordability.

Great course no water coolers

Course is great, conditions great, staff great. However it was a very hot & humid day and there are no water coolers. A water fountain at the turn was it! There was a food & beverage cart but we did not see them enough! There should be water cooler every 3 to 4 holes!

Hot Deal for a Hot Day

Ocean City Golf Club normally reserves this course for members and events and general public typically plays their other course. Temperature was upper 90's and very sunny, but a little breeze off the water helped. Challenging day of golf. Course is in very good condition. Enjoyable to play.
