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
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.
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.

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
