River Run Golf Course
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
Nice course
Enjoyed the round. Very nice track to play. A different course from every different tee box.
A good choice while visiting Ocean City !
Played here 2 years in a row! Pace of play on the front 9 was extremely slow ? Marshalls needed to monitor the pace of play ! Otherwise, the course is enjoyable. It will present some challenges at times !
Needs some work
Course is in a low area and wet. No rain in over a week and still wet. Cart path only. Tees were in poor condition, many fairways had dead black spots and were not mowed lately. Greens were in good condition and firm. Would not rush back to play again.
Good course but very short only need drivers go 2 holes , not for low handicaps
Cart Path Only Made Day a Downer
Considering we played on a Hot Deal it was worth the money we paid. Nice layout and Course was in decent ahape but unfortunately had alot of standing water all over. So it was cart Path Only which really ruined the day. Fairways were wet in spots so it was the right decision. Greens were really slow but not in bad shape. Would give it a try again once it dried out a little.
A fair course not great
I like the layout and people. My concern was it was hot and humid. Not water coolers until the 13th hole. In addition, several bunkers had at least 6 inches of water in them. I felt they should have been drained. Overall for the price $50, I felt it was fair.
Loved it!
When I arrived the staff could not have been more friendly. I booked as a single and showed up an hour before my tee time. When I checked in with the started he gave me a cart to get my bag out of the car and joined up with another single right away. The course is tight, but if you hit the shots you are trying to hit you can have a great time. I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of playing there. We had a ton of rain the night before, but I can't wait to go back when it is dry. For the value this course can't be beat. I'm a single digit handicap and plan to play there many more times when I'm in the area for sure. PS - The pace of play was amazing. As a twosome we played in 3.25 hours on a Saturday!!!!
Excellent value at the bargain price.
The course itself was in decent shape, especially considering the GolfNow HotDeals price. Played from Blue and there were several challenging holes that probably were the reason for the relatively high slope (133). Would consider playing there again, especially if we could get a similar price deal. The problem was the amenities. Despite being assured twice that the beverage cart would be out all day and that the Grill at the turn was open, we saw the beverage cart satisfactorily on the front nine, but the grill was locked shut at the turn (which we were counting on for beverages and a bite of lunch) and we never saw the beverage cart again. We did not encounter any chilled water coolers until late in the front nine and once again in the back nine. There were a couple of beverage vending machines, but the one we tried was not working. And this was early afternoon in August. Lesson learned - enjoy the course, especially if you can get a good deal, but DO NOT count on getting any food or drink on the course. Staff friendliness was mixed. The Pro Shop guy was friendly as was the starter, but the elder gentleman at the cart return was rude and unfriendly.
Great Value
River Run is a great course. Very close to Ocean City with friendly staff and good amenities. Would highly recommend you include this course in your next outing to OC.
River Run
Course was in good shape and was a great valve compared to the others that I played during my stay. Greens were a little slow, but expected during the hot August weather. I recommend this course.
Slow Greens
Course was in good shape, only complaint would be greens were slow and few bad spots on couple of them.
No rain check
We purchased through golf now and after playing 9 holes it was lightning so they came to get us obviously cause course had to close. While returning back they said they couldn't offer us a rain check even though we paid at the course. Very dissappointing because we paid for 18 and were only able to golf 9 holes. No compensation what so ever. The girl in the restaurant was super friendly though that was the only plus. They knew it was going to rain and should have stated that first I would have cancelled! VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE! WON'T GO BACK
Nice layout
Course was nice and relatively in decent shape. Read reviews from last fall and had low expectations, but was pleasantly surprised. Played "cart path" only round which extended the play time, but not by much. Holes weren't that wide and walking to ball was manageable. Will play here again.
Fun layout. Good for all skill levels. Good value for your money.
