Ocean City Golf Club - Newport Bay

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.

Windy but beautiful sunny day on great course

We added our round at OCGC to our planned golf weekend and it was a great start. Not the longest of courses, can get away with not hitting driver on some holes. Course was very wet from storms over the previous week, so some holes were a little soupy. Fairways were also high, probably because of not taking mowers on them. Would give the course another play on a future trip.

Nice course has several tough holes will play it again

well maintained. Difficult rough

Nice course - challenging holes - bitting flys on hot humid day - no water on course and no hole layout on scorecard or hole marker - felt like country club was doing us a favor letting us play their course

I last played this course many, many years ago when it was the only golf in the OC area. Decent then, but very crowded with horrible pace of play. Still, the only game in town.

Apparently redone, it's a very economical treat that is pleasin to the eye. Greens run true. Perhaps our speedy round was due to our tee time immediately succeeding an outing, but it's worth a try if you're in the area particularly if your skills are average at best.

Heat index reached over 100 degrees, guess how many water stations for the entire 18 holes? 1!!!!! Unbelievable how course management could take your money and provide nothing in return. Bev cart was seen twice, and could purchase water. Unreal. Have played here a few times, but after they showed little regard for safety I will never play here again. Almost passed out at 15.

Good variety in hole layouts & outstand views of bay and marsh lands.

We live in the area and this is one of our favorite courses. We went off early in front of a large group of foursomes so our pace was excellent. Fairways and greens in good condition. Even the rough wasn't bad. Very scenic on a lot of the holes overlooking the

Assategue Bay and marsh. Some carries but manageable. For the price including a cart, it's a great value. It poured for 45 minutes but they were able to reopen so we could finish the round. Fairways were very wet but the greens drain well. They used to have great hamburgers but didn't get a chance to try them out this time.
