Ocean City Golf Club - Newport Bay

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.

Course was in great shape, greens were very good with good pace. Not s super long course but offers enough challenge to make up for that. Great staff and a worth while stop for sure.

Wife and I played on 9/10.Pace of play was acceptable.
Greens were very fast and true as well as consistant.
An enjoyable outing. I will play there again.

Very different types of courses.....Seaside is not so "seaside" and is a pretty regular course.....I would not have been happy to have paid the courses advertised rate but golfnow made it most acceptable.
The Newport was an extremely challenging course with lots of water and bogs. Very scenic but very difficult if you don't know the course since there are visibility issues with water holes...but what a beautiful setting - be sure to take bug spray!

A decent course but not worth the money they want for it. I paid a discounted rate of $60 during the week. Course conditions and layout were ok but, nothing spectacular. There are better choices for the $ in OC.

This course plays well, and is challenging from the blues for us,and has been in good shape every time we have played it. The staff is helpfull and keep the pace of play moving.
The bay views are very nice

Newport is more challenging than Seaside but a little more expensive. Both are in good shape and fun to play
