About
River Run Golf Club in Ocean City is just minutes away from the beach. The golf course has different front and back nines that make for an interesting round. This Gary Player design starts out across a wide-open landscape before moving on to more tree-lined terrain on the backside. The tighter back nine is tougher than the first nine but overall it's an approachable golf course. The player-friendly layout is gentle enough for beginners with medium-sized greens that aren't especially difficult and generous fairways that offer plenty of room. There is modest bunkering along the greens and fairways and a few lakes and some marshland come into play as well. While River Run Golf Club may not be the most formidable test, the course provides just enough of a challenge for scratch golfers.

Golfer Reviews
River Run
Front nine is in great shape. The back 9 is in awful shape
No thanks
$100 for a course that double booked our tee time, two fairways that were completely brown and unplayable (no notice from the staff), greens that were unbelievably slow, and halfway house with no beers!
Haven't had a bad experience like this is in a while.
River Run
Good layout. Good price. Some holes were distressed (#11!), but overall the course was in decent condition. Rain night before had made some bunkers unplayable. I’d play it again.
Nice course
The course was in great condition. Unfortunately, we got rained out on the back nine. We were given a very good rain check. Will definitely play there again.
Played on Tuesday
The course is fun. Nice layout. Some holes feature bay views. Front nine easier than back. Two fairways have some condition problems but fine to play through.

Decent layout,, course conditions were not good. Tee boxes and some fairways were in rough shape. The amenities were great. Must disclose it rained all the time we golfed
Poor Condition/slow play
Course was particularly bad condition. Absolute shame in the price charged.
Play was painfully slow and no course attendants speeding up play.
Should be embarrassed to charge $144 to play. I have played $50 courses in nicer condition.
Solid course with some renovations and limited facilities
I enjoyed playing here with my buddy. It was a fairly cloudy day with some sprinkles so the course wasn't too busy. We only had 1 group trail us in the back 9. There were a few holes where the fairway was being repaired. We guessed it was from kids on E-bikes tearing up the course. Didn't mind the renovations at all but there was very limited practice facilities before our round. There were only a few "cages" to hit irons - no driver practice. The putting green also was fairly small and didn't have actual holes.
We were challenged a bit by the course but we were a little disappointed in the clubhouse and lack of warm up options.
We did say we would come back to play one day but we have a number of other courses we want to try out and for the price of this course, we won't be going back in the near future. Overall, we had a decent time. Very few staff members were around all day.
Pace of Play
I played here 2 weeks ago. The tee sheet was fairly full and we played in 4 hours. Today we played in 5 hours 20 minutes. Oof. There were marshals driving around, but it didn't do any good. The new owner is doing a lot of good things here. Let's hope he fixes this.
