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
Please get better drainage
Sorry I will not be playing here furthermore due to poor drainage and slow slow pace if pkay
Pace of play
We got there, asked people shop for cup of coffee, he looked at us like we had three heads. Asked for a bottle of water, they had one bottle left, mind you our tee time was 8:17am on a Saturday. Got to the first tee thought it was going to be a great day. Got to the second tee and realized the group in front of us had not even tee’s off yet because the group in front of them was looking for balls 150 yards to the right of the fairway. Round took 4 1/2 hours and we played it twice that day as we were on a golf trip. Gary Player should be ashamed of himself to have his name on that course. We call pro shop to complain about slow play and we’re told the course is just jammed up, no rangers, no starters. You couldn’t pay me to go back there. Thank god for Baywood greens golf club and Heritage golf club!!!
Nice basic track
Nice course, in good shape, and no waiting. They were out of balls on the practice range, but had we given ourselves more time that probably wouldn't have been an issue. Very nice staff and fun course to play.
Golf at River Run Golf Course
The golf course was in great shape, tee boxes, greens and fairways. The course was very friendly and accommodating. This was my first time playing River Run and I plan to put this on my once a year play list for me and my golf buddies. If you haven't played River Run, I recommend that you do.
A must play from the Blue Tee’s
Great layout course was in pretty good condition greens were very consistent sand was a little firm though. Very challenging from the blue Tee’s especially the par 3’s. Pace of play was great even with a 4 year player in the group. For thFoe price for the price this course is a must play this course is a must play.
Course in Excellent Condition
I played here a year or so ago and I then felt certain they’d have to close the course because it looked like it was in ruins from from perhaps weather and/or some grass disease. However, the grounds superintendent must have worked a miracle as I was pleasantly shocked today, to see the course virtually resurrected to new life.
Fairways are in very good condition and greens are immaculate, fast and rolling true.
For $45 on GolfNow.com it was a steal!
Dan B. Handicap: 12 9/22/20
Nice course need to keep the ball straight greens are nice so big greens and some slim and narrow greens. Definitely a good play course.
Reasonably good conditions
Similar to other courses in the area, it was wet and muddy. No roll on tee shots, greens were receptive but very slow.
Would play again
This course is a nice place to play for the average golfer. It has some holes that can be difficult, but it also has holes that you can make shots up on. It demands accuracy so it fits the game of shorter hitters and puts value on a good short game.the greens roll true, although were tricky to read. Overall a really nice place to play and I will be playing there again.
The course is really beat up
I played River Run today. Wonderful staff working the golf course but the course itself is in really tough shape. The fairways are really thin and it seems the rain and heat have done a major number on them this summer.
Greens were decent but a bit slow.
