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.

Very good layout

We really enjoyed the layout of this course.

Greens were a bit slow due to a lot of rain, but they rolled true.

The layout of this course is fun for players who shoot in the 80’s or 90’s .

Only downside was that it was very muddy, ( we played cart path only).

Good value

The course was cart path only understandable considering there was a lot of rain the two days prior. The course held up very well most of the bunkers had water but you could move your ball to accommodate.the tee boxes and greens were in great shape the ball rolled true and were very consistent not fast or slow. Overall the course was in great shape considering and I would definitely play again hopefully next time it won't be path only.

Great Shape

The past two years, RR has been in great shape, from fairways to greens. The only complaint I have is there's no marshal, one hole there was 4 groups on one hole with a single in the playing by himself. Other than that, I'll be playing the more often being a local.

Slow play

The group in front of me was just two older guys. They had a two hole start on me. And I caught them on the ninth hole. I finally quit on the sixteenth hole, the course is recovering well from the spring play.

Wet

You can’t control the weather conditions, course was very wet. Cart path only really slows down play. And people over rating there ability. Playing from the blue when they should be at white tees. A threesome, a twosome, is a threesome than a twosome really makes for slow play. I like this course! Also the lack of a grill at the turn, nothing ready.

Poor at Best

Worst conditions I've ever seen at River Run. Tee boxes were ridiculous, most bunkers unplayable, overall poor conditions for this time of year. We paid $40, its not worth more than that in its current state.

Review

I really like the layout of the course - very well done. And even though we played forward tees, the course was still challenging. The grass off the fairway was long and made for very difficult shots to greens - many times best to just lay up rather than try to get to the green. Course was in great shape and enjoyed the round.

Nice course

Fairways and greens were excellent but sand traps were wet from recent rains. Course layout is great with some challenging holes. Enjoyed the round but pace of play a bit slow due to special rate with a full course.
