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.

The overall condition of River Run was very good. I was very impressed .The opening of the 13th hole made it very pleasing to the eye. Fairways and greens were well maintained.

Well maintained course. Worried about construction near first few holes.

Too bad if they are taking the range away to satisfy the greedy developers! Hopefully it’s not true.

Winter &wet

This course is still coming out of winter and very rainy weather. Cart path only and understandable why. Traps had water.

Did like the layout and would play again come summer to see how it is in full season.

Nice course, nice staff.

I have played here several times, it has always been in good shape. The day was windy and overcast, but the course was well maintained. Greens a little slow but rolled well and I noticed that there were very few ball marks(don’t know if that’s because people are actually repairing them or course is doing it). Only a few holes path only and they were well marked so there were no questions on wether path only or not. All in all course was enjoyable and as an added bonus 1 of the guys I was playing with had a hole in one. Pace was quick, mainly because of very few people on course. Would play here again and recommend it to my playing partners.

Course was in great shape for being this late in the year. Greens were very slow from not being cut or rolled but otherwise in exceptionally great shape.
