River Run Golf Course

The practice putting green and driving range area are underwhelming. The course was nice although it has about 4 holes that scream "target golf". Also, the rough right next to the fairway was very thick and long in places. There was no intermediate cut. A few times we had to spend a few minutes looking for balls that were only 2-3 feet from the fairway. Pace of play was disappointing. The 3some in front of us was rightfully busted for bringing their own beer onto the course.

The course was in immaculate shape. Plays long from the blue tees, even for a moderately long hitter. Greens were fast and true. Make sure you're warmed up before playing this course.

The Golf Course,staff and entire environment was outstanding. Unfortunately the round took at least 4-1/2 + hours and that was because a group or two just seemed liek they had all week-end to play 18 holes. I reported this to Pro Shop at the turn and they investigated,but there was NO marked improvement in the pace of play of the 2 groups in front of us. All in all though,a GREATGolf Value.

Had a great time...Staff was very helpful and friendly.

The fairways were excellent. The greens were in excellent shape.
Played this course on a Friday and Monday and the pace of play was excellent. Would totally recommned to a friend

I paid $35 on golfnow.com -- so for that price I feel I got a tremendous deal. That said, the normal price was $75. For the condition of the course, I would have been a bit disappointed. There are some bear spots and the tee boxes could use a mower. The greens were in very good shape and they held approach shots. The course is great for all playing levels -- as always, the golfer needs to play the right tees. I'm on older 16 handicap and found the golf tees to be a good solid test.. The staff was very friendly and I could tell my business was appreciated. Like I said -- for $35 it was a helluva deal.

I have been a fan for years until there was a issue several years ago with faulty equipment and oil leaks. We took this off our outing rotation because of the conditions. We will now put it back on in 2014 - it has come back to its former beautiful state.

Course well maintained. Fairways and greens in good shape.Played from Gold tees and played at about 6000+ yards.Beautiful landscaping!!!

Played on 9/20 and 9/21 and payed 85.00 and 95.00 dollars course was in ok condition and pretty well maintained The only real issue was that the rates should be in the 45 to 60 dollar range since it want in good enough condition to warrant the higher fees. The greens were much better the first day and the second day the hole locatioins were in the same places and they did not cut the greens we teed off at 845 and the fist 4 or 5 holes still had dew on them so they were not cut. I would go back the layout is very nice and the staff was friendlybut would not pay more than 60.00

I was not going to play because of other reviews but I was so happy we played. The course was in very good condition and such a great Atmosphere!
You really had to think your way around the course.
The people at the course were around nice and great people.
Very worth it!

This was one of the first courses I played 12 years ago in the Ocean City area. Back then it was in good shape and a difficult test from the blue tees. This trme I just wanted to see how it aged and decided to play the yellow tees that were listed at ~6100 yds.

This was a mistakebecause like mnay courses in resort areas, they moved the tees up and only 3 of 18 holes were they at the published length. At one hole (#3 ) a 500 yd par 5 they were up so far the hole measured <400yds!.

The greens were is poor shape even after the reseeding earlier in the year from damage (fungus?). None were adequately cut. Equally bad were the fairways with many wet areas that appeared to be from leaky sprinklers.

A disappointment to a see a Gary Player course this bad.

First and foremost, the staff at River Run from the cashier to the starter made you feel like you were the most important group of the day! The course provides an exceptional variety of scenery and challenging golf and uses the natural landscape to it's advantage. Be mindful to try to stay in the fairway on many of the holes on the back as the grass can be quite thick and ruin your chances of reaching in regulation. The course was manicured almost to perfection. Some of the greens have experienced some dead spots but you can tell they are aggressively trying to fix those. The front nine is pretty wide open and the back more tree lined. Also, some of the holes have incorrect yardage marking on the scorecard but there are placards on each tee box with the correct distance. Overall a great course with great staff! Even the snack wagon made an appearance about every 4-5 holes. Get a good deal and go play River Run!!

The front 9 is a little more open than the back 9, with the back 9 presenting a few more challenges. The teeboxes were in okay shape while the greens required immediate resurrection. The course was beautiful and the fairways/bunkers were well maintained. For the price I paid it was a steal and I finished in under 3.5 hours (held up on the back 9 by a group) and probably could have played it around 3 hours.

The course is always in great shape and is very challenging.

Greens are in poor shape after several of them were eaten by some kind of weevil. They were coming back around nicely but now they just aerated them and it's like plinko-putting. But, after a week, they are already rolling much better. It has been a challenging year for River Run but they definitely had a horrible hand dealt to them with the weevil destruction to a few greens. The food at the restaurant is EXCELLENT and a hidden secret if you ask me. Buy one entrée at regular price, get the second one 1/2 price PLUS a free round of golf (or two on the weekdays; at least that was the standing deal they were offering previously). I would call just to be sure. Definitely would not pay more than $50 to play here ever; not even in pristine condition, which I have only seen it in that condition a few times. Typically the front is in great shape and the back can get a little "buggy" with some soggy fairways that like to eat club-heads for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Definitely bring some "Off" for the back nine. Overall, it is a fun course to play and the woods in the back allow you to sort of hide from the sun and not get baked. I rate it a 6.5 out of 10 currently.

The course was in good condition. Very challenging with narrow fairways and bunker protected greens. Overall good fun.

Nice design...greens need a lot of improvement back tees are best

My brother-in-law played this course on Tuesday, August 13 while on vacation. I told the attendent at the front desk this was our first time so he gave us a quick run down of what we needed to know before playing. The tee boxes and fairways were in great shape; however, a few of the greens were in very bad shape with one makeshift green around hole 13. With no maps to show the course layout, we sometimes were guessing how to play the hole. For $19, this was a very fun course to play with a few challenging holes with water.
Overall, I would play this course again and would recommend it to others.

Enjoyed the layout of the course and found it to be challenging. All the greens were in need of attention. Staff were very friendly and accommodating and the price was great!

Very nice course. Still working on repairing their greens which isn't a problem. Took way to long to play. Prepare for a long day!! Would play again as long as the Marshall's move the play along!!
