River Run Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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
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.
Great golf in January
Played River Run today in beautiful January weather. Course in great shape considering time of the year. Pro-shop welcoming. Highly recommend playing if your in the Delmarva area.
It was a cold rainy day
My father and I were the only one on the whole course. We enjoyed the course and will play there again when it is not raining.
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.
Love this course
Love the course! What I didn’t like was paying a booking fee at Golf Now, only to pay the same price I would have at the course. Next time I’ll just call the course and save the golf now fee. It is a great course though.
River Run Review
Tee boxes good. Fairways good. Rough too high; made for slow play especially on the back 9. Greens good. Worth the effort.
River Run Excellent
The staff was great upon arrival. The course was in perfect shape. Highly recommend this course.
Course very wet
Course in poor shape due to rain and aeration of greens. Nothing they could help.
Nice layout, design
The course was designed by Gary Player. Has a ton of features: tight fairways, open fairways, doglegs, short holes, long holes, over water, water on both sides, dunes/fescue, hills, sand, up and down on the putting ground. Definitely imagine that it’s a premier course in the right shape, pristine. But not worth $85 they charged. With a grain a salt, there was a huge storm the night before; however, $85 is not what you charge after such circumstances. Also, all greens were aerated-sand everywhere. Might want to adjust pricing accordingly. Fairways, were torn like they’d been trampled by bulls in a stampede, just ripped up. Also would not let me out as a one-some however a one-some passed through the three-some that I was paired with, about 45 minutes into my round. 5 hours and 10 mins roughly for round, and we were the first group out at 630am. no thank you.
Horrible condition
Fairways were bare, staff should tell you greens were recently aerorated when paying.
Will not play again.
Way overpriced for conditions
The condition of the course was horrible. No fairways . If Gary Player ever came back to this property, he would not want his name associated with this course. Greatly disappointed.
poor conditions
A deluge of rain the previous week seemed to have had a deleterious effect on the fairways. There were a lot of places with no grass.
