Ocean City Golf Club - Newport Bay

I played Ocean City—Newport Bay on a sunny day with winds likely gusting more than 35 miles/hour. The course (especially the back nine) has gorgeous views of inland bays but that openness made the windy conditions very difficult to play in. The extremely slow foursome in front of us made things worse, especially their lack of good course etiquette which the marshal did not come out and correct. This was my second round there and would consider playing there again as the course poses a good challenge under more normal conditions, but will definitely think twice about playing there again on a gusty day.

Had a great day. Course was in great shape. Very playable with any handicap level.

Course was great but with no gps in carts or layouts of the holes available on the scorecards it leaves you guessing on a number of holes.

The course was in exceptional shape and the staff was professional and courtesy also the new improvement to the clubhouse was surprise.

This is one of my favorite courses at the beach.

I rate everything very high because it is terrific, regrettably I had a bad experience with a guy that checked us in at the cards. Rude to the point of nearly offensive.

Certainly got the norm the rest of the guys there are terrific

Enjoyed my round. Some really nice holes. Fairly open, but a lot of dog legs. Greens were in great condition, as we’re tee boxes, fairways and bunkers. Nice warm up area. Range close to club house. Didn’t eat there but looked like pub style. Pro shop well stocked. Pace of play slowed considerably on back nine, but we finished in 4 hours. Nice parkland style course with great views. Place my occasional golfer friends would enjoy, but from back tees, it will challenge single digit hc. 18 is a birdie opportunity but the par 3 17th is a good one. Will be back

Very nice course. Great views, challenging holes. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Definitely will play here again!! Pace was very good.

Big bag drop area when you arrive, I had never played here before and the staff was happy to lead me in the right direction to the clubhouse. As a single golfer I was paired up with another 2 some. Newport bay that day was cart path only that day ,which I did not like, but not the worst. The course was in good shape, the greens were perfect. Pace of play was a little slow, but that happens when you and other players aren’t sure where they are going.. in all I had a great time at the course that day.

Was expecting more, pictures on website look amazing. Course is old and could use some changes. I agree there are some nice views of wetlands, but the course needs some renovations.

I played alone, and there was few twosomes in front of me, and older foursome holding us all up, hitting 50-100 yards if lucky. Now I’m all for everyone enjoying there round and having fun, but after 7-8 holes of waiting 10-15 mins to hit a shot. I understand some singles or twosomes should also join up, but nobody wanted to, so what are you to do, but wait. Could call and ask for ranger, but there wasn’t one, just the starter. Gave up after 8 holes.. Didn’t even see the back nine, which is probably better or the two nines. Other course looked in worse shape the Newport Bay, and looked like very small greens. Staff was nice, just wasn’t impressed with shape or pace. Golfers please let fast pace players or singles /doubles play through, it’s called golf edict, like driving on the highway, slower traffic stay in right lane..
