Ocean City Golf Club - Newport Bay
Rating Snapshot
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.

Great Scenery
The course was in excellent shape with great water views. Overall the course is very fair with some challenging holes. I would definitely play it again.
Course was in good condition considering they plugged the greens last week.
Course in good condition. Greens plugged last week and they were good, grass had filled in the holes already.
Traditional style course opened in 60's. Beautiful water views.
Excellent value for the course fees. Friendly staff.
Good price for Ocean City
Flat, but nice layout. Four tees to choose from. Sand traps need more sand.
Great Service/Excellent Course
This course exceeded my expectations. I was greeted by very friendly staff and had a great round. I can't wait to play this course again.
Great value. Beautiful setting. Score card should have course layout on it.
This is the first time I played this course. Score card should have course layout on it. Definitely will play here again.
Great greens but you need GPS
Played Newport Bay, the better of the two courses at OCGC, and was impressed. Great greens, and lets face it, that is really what you are paying for in OC. The biggest draw back is that there are no GPS units on the carts and there are too many holes that require precise layups.
Excellent layout
Course has an excellent layout with magnificent views. A true eastern shore vista.
Beautiful track
Great day of golf on vacation with some friends. Course conditions very good but a couple of the greens were a little bumpy. We could have used a yardage book or GPS on a couple holes. Fun day and we owe it all to Golfnow.
Newport Bay - beauty, price and conditions make it best value.
Newport Bay is perhaps the most scenic course in the OC area. The back nine with the breath taking vistas overlooking the bay are awe inspiring. The wind off the bay add to the challenge. I played on Aug. 2 and the course was in impeccable condition. Truly a great value.
What a pleasure to play!
This is my third round this week at the beach. Each of the other two courses were more expensive and is terrible shape. They lost greens and fairways due to weather conditions. Ocean City Golf has the same weather but the course was pristine I sticking to this one!!!
The staff recognizes you after a few visits and that is very nice.
Loved the scenery, course condition good
Great place to play, good value, friendly staff, and some very challenging holes.
Fast greens,lots of water & marsh to play over
This course is in the best shape i have ever seen it. One of the best courses to play in the area (Newport Bay Course)
Only problem it was hot and there was only one water jug on the course and it was hot

Great value for nice course
We got a great bargain to play this course during Fourth of July week at the shore in Ocean City, MD. We started on-time, but found early that we were a 2-some behind a foursome. That group allowed us through. After we caught up to another 2, with beginning golfers, we were allowed through again. We followed another 2 for the final third of the round. We enjoyed the course, but without a book, it was difficult to know the path of some of the holes, and distances to doglegs or landing areas. It may have been better to team us up to be a four so as to not push other golfers. Staff was very nice, and the experience was good. We would return.
My brother-law and I play here anytime we are in town. 2 nice courses, great club house and staff. Always fun
booked 2 t-times on the Newport Bay course -- our favorite course. Was in great condition and speed of play was good
Newport Bay Course more interesting then Seaside
In Ocean City select Newport Bay over Seaside. Newport Bay have many interesting holes, Plenty of wind off the bay. Seaside is back and forth, not as interesting.
Both are called Ocean City - xxx in GolfNow. Same clubhouse. Nice facilities if you prefer to shower before you go to dinner. Bring your towel. Hot deals around $30 beat other nice courses in DelMarVa.
Great resort course.
I play here fairly often. The wind can really change the degree of difficulty. Bermuda fairways are finally green ! Overall the course is in great shape.
Great views of the bay and wetlands. Course design was well thought out.
Loved the layout. Good mix of chalenging holes and easy holes. Nice scenery. A little pricey if not booked through golfnow.com

great course, friendly staff, almost too friendly. Very challenging course. GolfNow price was quite a bargain for this course.
