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.

6th "Green" Photo submitted by DrOldSchool on 08/15/2018
Nice Course and great restaurant.
Construction of homes near the course was distracting. But only impacted a few holes.
Staff was great!
The course restaurant "Hideaway " was excellent!
Needs a redo
Over the years we’ve played River Run and enjoyed it. This year it was in deplorable conditions. Most of the greens had large areas of fungus. The fairways had a lot of bare spots and the rough in manicured. Since they are building new homes on the property, the driving range has been reduced to hitting plastic balls which travel about 70 yards for every club. Next year there will only be driving cages and no range. With the building growth in the area, it’s doubtful the course will survive anticipated expanded development. If it does, it will need a lot of maintenance. I don’t like to write critical reviews but the course was so disappointing and I was glad we didn’t pay more. They were receiving new carts so maybe a turnaround is in their future. They have enhanced their dining area.
Nice people, very poor condition
Greens were in bad shape, recently punched, very slow and lots of bare spots.
Okay for $40 to swing a club and get some exercise but don’t expect good conditions. Nice layout.
New Construction Alley
If you like riding through jobsites you’ll love it.
I haven’t been there in a while - the new construction that’s going on is ridiculous. They made no mention of it at the Pro Shop.
Course conditions were average at best.
At any rate- it’s worth playing at twilight rates - but I’d never pay full boat.
Advance notice required
A few greens were fine. Half were burnt out, and four were recently pinned with sand fill. Why do you show a $95 regular rate with a hot deal for $56 when playing conditions warrant $40?
Probably should have played the Yellows
Decent course. Nice Fairways but greens were very unpredictable...some fast then othera slow.
Teeboxes placement were not favorable...one in front of a tree. Pace was slow. Starter should have put singles together or with doubles. HOT day too. Whites at 5600 yellow 6000ish
Always Enjoy River Run
Had not played in a while. Forgot about some really fun holes. Played early to beat the heat. Green needed to be cut and the cart path is like riding to Secret Beach in Belize. Lots of bouncing and bumps. Overall was a great morning.
Nice but nothing special
Overall the course was nice, greens were beat up and nobody seemed to fix their ball marks. The man checking me in at the proshop bordered on being rude, but ultimately took care of us. I’m. Not sure what I was expecting for $95, but it was an average overall experience for the money. I did enjoy the course layout and would go back, but I’m sure there are better deals out there.
