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.

Challenging

Course normally includes wind but this day was stronger. Course requires some target golf. More difficult with the wind. Will definitely look to play again.

Good course

Pace was slow, but good condition. Some of the water holes are a gimmick, forced lay up.

All the Ruark courses are cool, but this course is right there w them. Incredible layout. Fantastic design. Challenging, but worth it. The views are spectacular. Can’t wait to go back. Don’t be mad if you play it and you hit it out of bounds. That’s on you lol

Newport is much better than Seaside, still not great

Some great holes. Conditions are average but not great. Lots of members playing and can take a while to get around.

I think there are many other much better golf courses nearby. I would recommend spending more and getting more than this place.

Nice course.

Nice course. The views are great. The course condition was good. Staff is friendly. The back 9 is fun and challenging. Pace was surprisingly for a weekday a bit lagging. But not enough to make me not return.
