Ocean City Golf Club - Newport Bay
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 day of golf and beat the heat
Great day of golf and beat the heat Steady wind off the water kept the temp very manageable.
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.
Hot day to play
Course was in excellent condition. Pace of play not as fast usual due to hot weather.
Great shape, great layout
Great course fairly difficult layout, greens were extremely consistent, overall course condition was fantastic!
Best oc golf
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. Challenging par 5’s. Would definitely play again
Great ocean resort course
Interesting layout, a few forced water carries and challenging par 5s. Some great water views and mostly open layout with few trees.
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.
