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.

Nice course

Best conditions we’ve seen here in recent years. Pace was fine given that there were 4 foursomes in front of us.

Excellent value at Golfnow prices.

Excellent but...

First time players at River Run and we enjoyed the friendly staff, interesting holes, beautiful water views, great pro shop and restaurant...BUT the pace of play was unacceptable and on the 15th hole, we found out why. There were 5 groups on the one hole which included a five-some on the green. Where was the ranger?

Course

I had a awesome day on the course. Weather was perfect and pace of play was fantastic. Some holes were still a little wet a d some work being done. But had a great time and course was well maintained. Greens were great - still had a little hop due to aeration.

Course fantastic

I was very impressed for the condition of the course - especially this early on the season. Several wet spots and some course work - but overall in great condition. Plus it helped that it was sunny and 70 and pace of play was awesome

Really enjoyed the course, wonderful layout, the pro let us precede two foursomes, because we were playing as a twosomes. Flew around the course played in 3.5 hours. Quite wet because of a big rainstorm the night before. Loved the course!! Pro was very friendly and did a great job. We would play there again. Loved it.
