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
Can't wait to play it again
This was the first time our foursome had played the course and we all want to get back soon. Everyone was very friendly.
Great day of golf!
River Run was a pleasant surprise!
Well maintained course!
Great appetizers and friendly staff!
Wild Bill
Fun layout a bit pricey. I enjoyed the course the staff was friendly The clubhouse is not fancy but gets the job done. I would play it again .
Great Course, Slow Greens
Overall, River Run was a great golf course with a fun, but playable layout. The only "complaint" i would have is that the greens were extremely slow, but the course was in great shape and provided a fun round of golf.
Holiday Round
Always enjoy a round at Gary Player's River Run, at least 14 really interesting holes through the marshes, & meadows next to the St. Martins river. Tee to green excellent, greens consistent but a little slow, perhaps the downpour prior night did not allow them to cut. 5.5 hrs, due to cart path only, and a holiday packed course, overall enjoyable round.
A fun track
Not too long but well designed to have you hit a broad assortment of clubs. Greens were a little slow but they were still healing from aeration. Pace of play got bogged down due to a group of senior golfers that did not play ready golf - oh well. Overall an enjoyable outing and worth the money.
Great Value - Excellent family course!
Course was in VERY good condition. Very fair, greens ran true. EXCELLENT place to bring your son or daughter in the afternoon. Not a place with quick food service unless the grill/shack is open at the turn. Kind of a neighborhood club but very nice, friendly staff. Laid back. Let everyone play in a relaxed fashion. Much better condition than I recalled years ago when I played. My son & I got paired up & really enjoyed it! Give it a try!!
river run a redo
excellent value,good condition well run facility longer carry of water on par 3 15th
nice course
Course is in excellent condition. Some of the best fairways in the area. Staff was great showed up at the course on the wrong day, but they still accepted the great Golf Now rate.
Couldn't ha e asked for more
Slow today!
Hadn't played here in years,, RR has a nice layout. Today was extremely slow, 5 1/4+ hrs. ( not helped by heavy overnight rains resulting in cart paths only) Marshals on course, their job seemed to be to let us know the pace was slow! Greens just fair shape, appear to still be recovering from aeration a few weeks ago. Fairways in nice shape. Will play here again, just letting you know what present conditions are.
SLOW play...
The course was in vey good condition. However, the pace of play was so slow, it made it unenjoyable. We waited 8-10 minutes on every tee box and then teed off and had to wait again to hit to the greens.
When approached by the ranger asking how it was going, we were told "it's resort golf, this is what happens". Wow, that's the response to ridiculous slow play? We have played this course about 4 times and each time, the pace has been slower. Probably will not return. Too bad because it is a nice layout in good condition.
Nice round
Course was in great shape other than greens were a little slow and some aeration not completely healed but still putt reasonably true. Very friendly staff.
Nice little coure
Enjoyed a morning round on a very hot day. Staff was helpful and friendly. This course should be played from at least the gold tees for men. I played from white at starters recommendation and it was too short. Adjusted into round. Nice soft fairways and challenging rough with mounds etc. good place to play as your first round out here on a coast after playing in other conditions.
Nice course for the money, lack of GPS a problem
Nice course, well maintained. Lack of GPS or yardage book an issue, as many shots somewhat blind. Would play again
Great Deal
Value great for get togethers and friends will drive for the savings
great course, but eat before you go or pack a lunch.
The course was in great shape, a lot of tough shots to make. Well maintained, and the Greens rolled true. finished our round in 3 hours and 15 minutes, they definitely didn't overstep tee times. The only downside for two starving guys is that number 9 is not loop back around to the clubhouse, so a hot dog at the turn was out of the question
Nice course .
Nice course. Greens could use some work. Good pace of play.
Great experience for Mid-March
Course was in very good shape. There were a few soggy areas but considering it had poured the day before, it was in very god shape.
