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.

Not friendly to non members.

Overbooked. Started late, told to wait for those in front of us to be for the green before teeing off. Then the ranger comes to us at hole 9 to say he was told the players behind us complaining we are too slow! At that point we had been playing for under 2 hours! Given the option to “skip a hole or two, or pick up the pace.” Made for a stressful and non enjoyable experience. Felt from the beginning as if only friendly to regulars/members and not tourists. Will never play there again.

Great golf course

Fairways and greens in perfect condition. Challenging course with some very difficult par 3’s as well as the doglegs. Definitely you get your money’s worth!

Good round - one to play in OC

The course was in excellent condition, best I've seen since I've been going to River Run. It's a staple of OC, even in the pandemic to get a good round at a decent price.

Expensive- Not Informed Only 9 Holes Would Be Open

After paying a high fee of 40 dollars to play this course and finding out that only 9 holes were open today was extremely disappointing. There was not advertisements saying that the course wouldn’t be available. Extremely disappointed in the course for not supplying that info when booking.

Awesome Day!

Could not have asked for a better experience with great company on a beautiful day! Course was in beautiful condition and very clean of fall debris (leaves & needles). Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Pace of play was excellent as we hardly saw another golfer.
