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.

Great Course!

First time playing Newport Bay. Staff was terrific, course was in excellent condition. Pace of play was a little slow, but not too bad. This course competes nicely with the other Ocean City courses. Good value compared to some others.

The scenery is magnificent.

The course is very scenic and many holes are spectacular . The bugs are horrible and may keep me from playing again.

Great course

We have played this course many times and it is one of our favorites down here in OCMD area. The staff is great, love the course and it has always been in great shape every time we have played. Pace of play was a little slow, but that was due to a tournament, but considering it was not bad. We will be back for many more rounds in the future!

Very nice day and beautiful werther. Course was in good shape.

Was playing as 2 and was paired up. Usually don't like that, but other 2 were very nice to play a round of golf with. Course was in great shape and not too crowded to be held up waiting to tee off and shoot.

Great Course

I live in the area, so I play the course fairly often. The course as usual was in great shape. The greens were quick this time, which made putting a little more challenging. I always enjoy playing O.C. Golf Club, Seaside or Newport Bay side makes no difference to me. I enjoy both . Although , if you want to play a slightly more challenging course , play the Newport Bay Side.

Challenging--with some great Bay views

Good challenge, good mix of difficult and straight holes. Very picturesque and a good bargain from Golf Now. Greens were very quick and hard to hold with approach shots--but ran true.

Newport Bay in Ocean City, MD

Nice course, good layout and fairly forgiving for the average golfer. We played this course in early April so the grass wasn't as green as it will be later this summer. I would like to come back and play this course.

Great Course

Newport Bay is one of my favorites in Ocean City area. The course was just open after a brutal winter and cart-path only. Grass is still dormant. Still, a fun time on a course that can become very challenging when the wind picks up like today. Great value for $$.

better than expected

I play a lot of OC area courses over the years but for some reason have passed this by. The Newport course is excellent and the coastal views are awesome. Good deal and definitely will be back.

The course should not take any reqular players if they are hosting multiple outing events. So disappointed with extreme slow pace. Left after 9 holes.
