Ocean City Golf Club - Newport Bay
About
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.

Wide open course
Course is in great condition ! Courteous staff and helpful attendants ! Will play there again soon !
Hot deals rule
Course in great shape after many days of rain.. Hot deal was perfect made for a great time..
Never again
We finished our morning round early and headed here for our afternoon tee time. In the parking lot/bag drop area were two groups for 5-6 foursomes. Each going out on different courses. They were drinking to excess to say the least prior to going out. While on the course they were loud and rude. They threw beer cans and insults at other golfers. The speed of play was at a crawl. The ranger were told repeatedly. He did nothing but say they paid their money to play. After nine holes the rangers were no where to be found. At one point at the 14th hole their were 6 groups on the hole or waiting to play. After the end of this 5 Hr and 20 minute round, the course staff was gone. The pro stop closed and all the rangers and starter were gone.. Possibly the worse golf experience I have ever had.
Nice and Slow
The golf course is an excellent layout in pretty good shape. We were very disappointed in the pace of play. Never saw a Marshall the entire 5 1/2 hours plus to play 18 holes. We waited on every single hole, every single shot and it never opened up. One group playing extremely slow was allowed to stifle everyone behind them. Very poor job of monitoring pace of play by management.
A pleasant, uncomplicated course
Seaside is a fun course for a high handicap golfer. Skilled players will not be challenged. Not particularly scenic but well maintained and in very good condition. Regular green fees in the $65-$75 range are too expensive for this course. However, a Golf Now Hot Deal rate of $34 was a great value.
Ocean City GC: Newport Bay
The Newport Bay course a OCGC is one of my favorite tracks on Delmarva. However, playing it this past week was quite a disappointment. The bermuda fairways were no where near ready for play and the greens still had pock marks from the last aeration, all at a premium price. Given the condition, a significantly reduced green fee should have been applied.
Cold and Windy
Even though the weather was bad; 50 degrees, overcast and gusts up to 30 mph we had fun. This course is most challenging because it has a half dozen dog leg lefts, so shaping shots is key.
OC Newport
Always in nice condition always challenging always fun to play
Great course awesome value on golf now.
Played Newport Bay 1st and pace was great. Enjoyed it so much did a replay on Seaside. Two different courses and both were in good shape. Greens rolled true! We spent 100.00 total for 2 people and played 36 holes of golf each. Can't beat the price, will play again.
Course was in nice shape
Haven't played there in several years. Couse was in great condition and challenging. Staff very friendly. Only problem was they ran out of practice balls. They need a bigger automatic ball machine. Would play again
Great staff.
The staff could not have been nicer. There is not much water in play. Well maintained course and facilities. Large clubhouse. Frequent beverage cart. Overall very good golfing experience.
Smooth Greens
Course was in amazing shape. The greens were in super shape.
Very good layout. Nice little practice area next to the putting green.
Must play if in OC MD area
Country club treatment and playing conditions. Newport course was in immaculate condition. Fairways wwre evenly cut and greens rolled true. Extremely friendly staff with good food and service. Definitely a must play if in the OC MD area.
This course has beautiful vistas .
Newport Bay is a beautiful course with many challenging but fair holes. The place of play was a little slow but ok. The greens were in excellent shape. The price is right if you have a discount.
Excellent value
The Newport Bay course is a joy to play as the conditions are excellent, and the views spectacular. With friendly and very accommodating staff this course rates as one of my all time favorites.
O C Newport Course
Course in great condition. Very friendly staff. Great value.
Great Day
Played with 3 other visitors really enjoyed the course , back nine was really great with wind coming off the bay, loved it!
great course for vacationer
course was in good condition, fairways and greens were well maintained. the views are excellent. played this course before and returned because of them.
Bad Score Card
I'm not sure if they updated the golf course or what happen but the back 9 does not match the scorecard. It really confused us and I wish we were made aware of this when we started.
Mosquitos were horrendous
I almost quit the course the mosquitos were so bad. We should have been warned by the club house and by the starter and we should have been told to load up on bug spray. We were not.
