River Run Golf Course

Very soft, winter conditions, greens very bumpy but roll at a good pace given the conditions.

Weather was great for this time of year as was the price.

My foursome was fortunate enough to get a Hot Deal on Golfnow for $45. As other reviews mention, the course is a mess. We would play there again for the same price. Definitely not worth more than that. Staff in the Clubhouse and Restaurant were very friendly. Half way house was not opened at the turn.

To start off.....I am a USGA 5.8 handicap, and I do not generally have high course condition standards. I generally play public golf courses only, so I am used to a lot of things not being perfect or ideal, I just like to play. The condition of River Run is a shame. The layout was great, I thought some holes were very challenging but fair. The course conditions were just awful. The tee boxes were beat up, uneven, and just not in any kind of shape a course should be in during September. The greens were borderline unplayable. A lot of bare spots with sand, or just dead grass. I gave a 1 out of 5 for course conditions I chose to make it a 1 instead of a 0 because the fairways were ok.

The staff is fantastic at the course. We were rained out in the morning and had to wait for the rain to pass. We hung out at the restaurant inside and the staff kept us company, and was friendly and accommodating. It was a slow day at the course, so the chef came out and had friendly conversation. He was really cool guy, talked about his military service, and actually had an impromptu putting competition with me. He also made a very good turkey club sandwich. The staff on the course and pro shop was incredibly nice as well.

All in all, it is a shame the course is in the condition it is in. I must have said to myself a hundred times "if the course was in good shape I would come here all of the time", but the conditions was horrendous.

This course is a great layout and a great place to play when in the area

Course was so wet from bad weather. Greens aerated and not fun to putt on. Some very bad tee boxes and fairways. Water filled bunkers. No cart girl. No food at the turn. Saw 1 water cooler on the course. 2 hot dogs and 2 beers was $21.50. Not a pleasant round of golf at River Run.

I already wrote a review but forgot to say the 15th green had about 50 geese on it and it was full of goose turds you couldn't even putt it was ridiculous I complained at the pro shop and he said oh well also in the fall they have very high greens fees beware

Never wrote a review before. Had to after yesterday's round. The course is in atrocious condition! The greens - weren't! Most had large areas of non-existent grass - aerated yes - but no grass. Putting on bumpy sand basically. The sand traps were for the most part hardened concrete. The fairways were a mishmash of different grass and a lot of weeds. The course definitely has drainage problems. Not to mention geese problems. They ruled the back nine. On the 15th green we couldn't putt at all - droppings everywhere. My partner had to "shoo" them from the 16th tee - and we aren't talking 5 or 10. There had to be 50 to 75. No joke!

To top it off - 18 holes took 5+ hrs to play. Not once did a Marshall come by to monitor play. Not once did the drink cart come by. No plans to pay $70 at this course again. It wasn't worth half that.

The greens were in very bad shape the course was wet and cart path only it was an outing in the morning slowed the whole course down over 5 1/2 hours not a good day of golf conditions at the course was poor staff not very friendly or accommodating

Ive played it before, earlier this year and the grounds were ok, rough due to the spring weather. Once again I tried it and the grounds are a complete disaster. the greens are the worst ive seen. recently aerated but a lack of cleaning them up afterwards have left them a mess. I would assume that it would get better in a few weeks, but after paying a $59 mid-day mid week round price, I feel it is way, way overpriced based on the condition. I have played 1/2 dozen courses around the area in the last two weeks, none were as expensive, and all were is remarkable shape compared this River Run. The staff is friendly, restaurant is good. I think there is other courses at the current time, and weather conditions that would be better than this one. You can see by other recent reviews (that I wish I had read) that im not alone.

I played this course 2 different times this year. It was in beautiful condition great layout very fair. I got on golf now and saw me, my son in law and brother in law could play for half off. Little did I know and the staff did not tell us that they airiated the course and it was in terrible condition. I was very excited to play River Run and take my family with me and then was disappointed. At least the Club Pro and bag person could of told us what to expect.

That being said, I will be back to golf this course. I do enjoy golfing this course.

The greens were just aerated and were in terrible condition. The cost per round should be way less when the greens are in those conditions. Tough getting the ball in the hole

The greens were aerated but the top dressing was terrible. They were so bad that there needed to be a price cut.

The course has a great layout but due to the weather stressing he course and the Airation of greens was not a pretty course this day.

I will play it again sometime because I understand the weather this summer.

River Run is potentially the worse course I've ever played. The course conditions are atrocious. The fact that they would charge any money at all is an embarrassment. Typically Ocean City resort area tourist rip off. Golf Now should never, ever, promote this course

Played this course today took 2 hours to finish 5 holes. Pace of play was horrendous no Marshalls pushing people along. Greens were in bad shape. I left the course and asked for a refund. Got an 18 hole pass for another day. After playing Glen Riddle, Rum Pointe, and light house Sound all for a decent price past 3PM there are better courses and value out there. Will not be returning to River Run it is a shame because I use to like this course.

It's a nice course to play. The current heat wave doesn't help but overall it's a great course. Thanks Hot Deals!

Temp green and no snack bar open on a Sunday in August ??

There were five different sets of tee boxes to play from along with a reasonable structure for the variety of holes on the course.

I have to practice more so I can perform better the next time I play.

Thanks again for your service.

Course plays fair. Rewarded for good shots, penalized for bad shots.
