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.

LOOKING GOOD

Compared to the last time we played here, much improved. Fairways looked as if they were just cut. The was rough wasn't that penalizing. The greens rolled nice. The best of all, we didn't get paired with anyone. My girlfriend is a 25 handicap. Made it nice for her to play her game. Overall, a great day on the links in under 4 hours.

River run golf club

This was the worst maintained golf course I have played in many years. It made you wonder if they have anyone on staff and if they ever spent any money fixing things. Looks like no one has done any work in years.

Good course

I took the kids out for a holiday weekend round to end the summer. The price was okay, especially once we started playing and realized how bad of shape the greens were in - large sections of greens appeared to be dead. Otherwise, the course was in good shape, it was not terribly difficult and not overly long (although the par 5’s were long) but the course played well. The pace of play was great - we teed off at 4:06 on a Sunday afternoon so I wouldn’t have expected pace of play to be an issue.

What happened?

I play here a bunch. However not in a two months. The fairways and greens are in terrible condition. Even paying a local rate right now until I hear the conditions drastically improve I will not be back anytime soon. It’s a shame because I enjoy playing there.

Good municipal course.

Good municipal course It was easy to navigate. Being a holiday weekend they should have had a marshal on the back 9. The greens were slow and a little burnt but that is to be expected with the dry weather and probable non working sprinklers. I would like to play the course in the springtime when it is better shape.

Course is in bad condition

Greens were sparse and inconsistent, Fairways were also very inconsistent. I was able to play without interference so it was worth the money I paid.

Too much rain

This course layout is nice.

However, the entire area has see heavy rain for weeks-up to 9 inches one week

. This cause a great deal of fungus and killed a lot of fairways and greens

I would have thought the Management would have alerted players to the poor conditions.

They really should have charged less then normal to
