Ocean City Golf Club - Newport Bay

For the end of summer this course is in the best condition that I have ever played! The greens are smooth and rolling true! The tees and fairways are also in great condition! Pace of play was great and we really enjoyed the day. Will definitely play again soon!

The Newport Bay course is a great course for the money. Teed off at 11 on a Sunday and finished in 4 hours. The course is in great shape given the combination of extreme heat and tons of rain. Greens were running great.

The ranger and all the folks at the course are super friendly. And the price for food and drinks at the clubhouse are extremly reasonable.

I would recommend Newport Bay for low handicappers as well as the average golfer.

One of the best courses in OC and absolutely the best for the money. They have two 18 hole layouts. Both are excellent and have totally different layouts. The ocean course is built primarily through the wooded part of course. It consists of mostly open fairways with a few water carries. The Newport Bay course is built on the shoreline of Newport Bay which brings water into play on many holes. Of the two I prefer Newport Bay even though it might be the tougher of the two.

I think you will find either course enjoyable and the people at the course couldn't be more courteous or helpful. Next time you are in Ocean City drop by and see for yourself, I don't think you will be disappointed.

Newport a great course in super condition great staff stunning veiws along water a great value and a must play!

This course is challenging, visually appealing with a friendly staff. I have played many times, score reasonably well for a senior player. It is somewhat out of the way but well worth the extra effort to visit and play.

Good conditions. Great natural environment with wet land views galore.

Single golfer 3 hour round . Ranger assisted in making this a very pleasant experience. Let me jump to the back nine to avoid the back up, then finish the front.

Beautiful design, great conditions, perfect weather, well maintained fairways and greens. And all in a natural preserve!

The night before, we had over 3 inches of rain. We decided to call the course because unfortunately, we booked through golf now for a better rate. The only problem with that, if the course is open, you must play or lose your money.

We called from our hotel while eating breakfast and they said, of course, we are open. Well, we arrived at this old run down brick building which was the pro shop and snack shop and locker room. This place was like taking a trip back to the 70's. We arrived an hour early. We dropped off our bags and were told to go to the driving range but we had to walk and not take the cart. I explained I had MS and the old fella goes I don't make the rules sorry. So we grab 4-5 clubs, go to the driving range, the mats are soaked and there are no rubber tees except 2 for people that like to tee their driver up over 6 inches.

No one was on the coarse, why couldn't we just tee off and get it over with at this dump. They said they were putting a single with us and he had not arrived yet. That is ridiculous! We wanted to play alone not with some stranger, though he turned out to be a nice guy.

It was cart path only but on most holes, the cart path was under water! There were puddles in the fairways and sand traps, by far the worse conditions I have ever played in. Because of you policy Golf Now, I will never book another course through your service for a golf vacation. I ended up twisting my knee because I slipped while trying to hit my ball on a steep down slope. It was a nightmare!

Our tee time was set for 11:48 and we got there with about 30 minutes to spare. Unfortunately, a group of 40 players from NY arrived a few minutes before we did and so the backup would have been huge except that the starter suggested we fit in somewhere on the back nine since things were so hectic. We were a twosome and so we were happy to do that. We started on 15 and rushed through the first couple of holes until things calmed down. The facilities looked run down and the carts did not have GPS.

Wasn't sure what I was going to find but it turned out that I played this course 20yrs ago. Layout is forgiving but does have a couple demanding holes. Fairways were dormant but greens were rolling smooth. Isn't as demanding as some of the surrounding courses so it's the perfect course to ease into your trip.

Love the course normally. I play it often. Was good shape for the time of the year, but for what I expect from this course (As I said I play it often) I would have thought the superintendent would have had the sand bunkers raked. Was predicted to be 70s for the day. Not only that, but there were no rakes in the bunkers, not one. A FUH PA I hope as the courses there are usually well maintained through out the year.

I am a local and play this course often. If you ever get a nice winter day with temps in th 60's play this course. The view are still pretty even though everything is brown. Course is always in great shape.
