Ocean City Golf Club - Newport Bay

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.

booked 2 t-times on the Newport Bay course -- our favorite course. Was in great condition and speed of play was good

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.

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.

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.

I'll begin with the really only hiccup to the outing was the 5 hr pace of play (5hr 6min). The Seaside course was closed due to aeration so it was understandable the Newport Bay course would be full. Slow play affects my play but for the value I can't berate. Course was in good shape although the greens didn't look to be in the "customary" great shape. Some great challenging holes and Ranger Don was great and checked in with most every group along the course to see how things were going. Overall, a must stop especially if you get a fantastic rate like we did.

Course is in much better shape then it was a few years ago. Greens were very true

From the time you drop of your bag to the finish everyone is extremely warm and professional.

Staff was not very accommodating ---- --- raining, one of our party is handicapped and due to the possibility of slipping on the wet grass and raised tee boxes, decided not to play. Pro Shop personnel would not credit our credit card account for his portion of the total bill, and we were charged as if he had played a full round.

It is very doubtful that we will ever play there again.

The condition of the gold course was very nice. It had rained for two days straight just thirty-six hours before we played and there wasn't any sign of water in the fairways or around the greens. There was a very minute amount in some rough areas between holes. The fairways were in very good condition as was the greens. The greens were fast and had good roll. A great value at just twenty-five dollars.

Played de Newport Bay course on a cold and very windy day.
The greens were fast and the roll is good. The fairways definitely needs more attention. The definition between rough and fairway is poor. I preferred the backnine because of the view on the bay is very nice.

We enjoyed playing this course. Unfortunately, the grasses were mainly dormant, so fairways did not have much color in April. The views of the adjoining marsh and bay areas always are superb. The breezes can alter your shots, so be careful, or a very playable course can turn harsh in a hurry. With the discounted rate, it was a great value as well.

I'll return, great value for a nice location. i liked Newport over Seaside

This is the better of the Ocean City Country Courses. Reasonable condition for January. Greens were moderate speed, but a lot of unrepaired pitch marks. Not crowded. Played the white tees (6000 yds). Most holes have reasonable landing areas. Several holes require some planing or they can cause high scores.

Price was great. The greens are great for this time of the year.

We have played this course this fall and it was fantastic, however on this day, it was cold, windy, and rain. The course has great holes and vistas (from before), but this day it was just not a good day for sightseeing. At least no one else was foolish enough to slow us down.

Well established golf course with panaramic views of the Assawoman Bay. Difficult greens, challenging course layouts and friendly staff. Worth the value.

Played Newport Bay:

A nice break from the more demanding OC area resort couses. But you still have challeging holes and is not a push- over.
I would recommend playing newport bay in your course rotation.

Nice course, friendly staff. The green were in great condition.
