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.

Okay but……

On Newport Bay we had to play the front twice -because the 3 some in front of us were so obnoxiously slow.

The cart gentleman was just an awesome individual- offered to let us play the back that we had skipped.

At any rate - it was a good day to be out there - that’s what you get at the beach.

Brad

This was my third time playing this course and it was in excellent condition! Newport Bay is one of my favorite courses in all of OC. The greens rolled very true and had good pace to them. Being Memorial Day weekend the pace of play was very slow, but that's to be expected. Can't wait to come back!!

Awesome Views!

Normally playing in PA you don't get to experience the views that this course had to offer. Staff was friendly, and course was in good condition. Wind was a little challenging on the back 9.

Good bang for your Buck

Good layout. Got in a Hot deal and it was well worth the $50. Course is a beast in the wind. Some of the best water holes in OC. 6 sets of tees make it playable for all. Will definitely be back hopefully there will not be a 2-3 club wind blowing

Nice Concrete Cart Paths

We played Newport 11/18/21 for the first time. Course was in very good condition for this time of year, especially greens and sand traps Not an exceptionally long course. Some challenging holes. I am a fan of the concrete cart paths.

Newport Bay review

The course is in good condition with fairways well maintained. Personnel courteous and helpful.

The course is scenic and give you a filling of being in the middle of the nature along dear and birds.

I will go back any time I have a chance. Many thanks to those who make an effort to keep the course beautiful and playable.

I have played here off and on for the past 20 years.

I would have preferred to know it was cart path only when I made my reservation.
