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.

Great condition
We did not know that the restaurant/snack bar would not be open. However the great condition of the course for Feb far outweighed the lack of beverages.
Excellent Course
I always enjoy a return play at River Run, challenging and very nice layout.
Still a beautiful course
Had a chilly day and a slow foursome in front of us, but the course is in real nice shape. And as challenging as ever. Always recommend this course.
Great fall golf
Have been to River Run a number of times, and the conditions are usually good. This time they were excellent. Greens were fast, but true. Fairways were lush. Golf Now price made it all the better, since this is still High Season in OC.
better than ever conditions
course never looked or played better. the greens were superb. no doubt the best value per dollar and competes with the best five of all courses you can play in ocean city at any price
great day !
Got the chance to play one of my favorite Ocean City area courses. Interestingly I was paired with a guy with my same name. The conditions were excellent, the staff very,very friendly,making for an outstanding day. Keep up the good work River Run.
River Run
Beautiful course with a great choice of tees for everyone to enjoy. Only complaint was lack of course ranger this day to keep things moving.
River run
This course was in poor condition. After asking before hand about aeration, staff responded it was done, and in good condition. We booked it and showed up to terrible greens, 7 fairways gone, and very little staff. The grill was virtually closed at 11am and this was mid september. We won't be back. I can't believe they were asking $99 for a morning tee time.
Ocean City golf
Played every course in and around Ocean City Md, this is the most enjoyable of all.
Very nice course
Other than cart path only because of excessive rain very challenging course.
Nice course
The course was very nice, it was very hot. We were held up on the back 9 by the group in front . Wish we could have kept our pace. The staff was very good, and the pro shop had equipment fairly priced. Would like to return for another round.
Not just a golf course...
it was fun to play this course again after 7 years, still a good challenge.
need to play smart
Nice 0cean City warmup
Course was well conditioned with a few interesting holes. Nice par 3 over water and short par 4 over a marsh were my favorites. Course was empty the day I played and that allowed some practice shots. Not as scenic and the facility is not as nice as some of the more famous courses in the area but if you get a deal, go for it. Don't pay much over $40.
Great course for the money!
I had played this course about 10 years ago. This. Course is in great condition. They had just finished a tournament and decided not to have the cart girl work afterwards. She missed some good tips and the course lost revenue from this foursome.
Beautiful Course...Bargain on Golf Now
Not the most Challenging Course, I played it very well.
Several Birdy Opportunities.
Course is in Excellent Condition.
Greens were in great Shape, straight forward putts.
Friendly Staff.
I would play again when I am in the area.
OC Visitor
Golf course was in decent shape considering the date. Greens were a little slow, more ball marks than I would like. A nice place for a round when you are on vacation. Pace of play was actually less than 4 hours.
Pretty course
Tight fairways. Greens relatively slow with not a lot of break. Fun course to play. Had 2:36 tee time and no bev cart. Some water and 3 non working soda machines
Love this course
It may not get the rave reviews of other Ocean City, MD courses or offer ocean views but River Run is a great course to play. It's a Gary Player design that offers some challenging holes, and some not as challenging. Feel it's a solid course to add to the list of already great plays in OC.
Great course for the money
Greens seemed grainy, but putted very true. Front nine is definitely easier than the back. Accommodating staff. I'll be back.

I live here at River Run and I am a member of the course. I tell the grounds crew and pro exactly how I feel about conditions here too - no sugar coating. I can't figure out how this guy said 7 fairways were gone?? I can't think of one fairway that is gone. # 11 is growing new grass but it hardly is gone. It looks like a fuzzy hairy fairway if anything. #15 had the same thing done to it last year and looks great this year. The greens are in top-notch shape - the best I have seen them in the two years I have lived here. I understand how people feel about $90 greens fees but the course is in great playing shape. The greens fees are overpriced I agree. This course is $45 to $65 range and maybe $75 in peak season. -Shawn
