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.

Nice course: got a really good deal on Golf Now

Played from the back tees, pretty good course and we got a good deal on the tee time. Only $55 which was a steal for this course

Poor at Best

Worst conditions I've ever seen at River Run. Tee boxes were ridiculous, most bunkers unplayable, overall poor conditions for this time of year. We paid $40, its not worth more than that in its current state.

Review

I really like the layout of the course - very well done. And even though we played forward tees, the course was still challenging. The grass off the fairway was long and made for very difficult shots to greens - many times best to just lay up rather than try to get to the green. Course was in great shape and enjoyed the round.

Nice course

Fairways and greens were excellent but sand traps were wet from recent rains. Course layout is great with some challenging holes. Enjoyed the round but pace of play a bit slow due to special rate with a full course.

Nice course - Slow play

The scorecard says the round should take no more than four hours. It took us 4.5 hours because of slow groups in front of us that were part of a shotgun start earlier in the day. We called the pro shop to ask if they could speed up the slow golfers. A rep from the course came out and spoke to the people in the group that were two groups ahead. He then told us that management doesn't like saying anything to the "regulars" about slow play because they provide a lot of business for the course.

Another great round at River Run

Good day at River Run. The greens and fairways were in great shape. The wind made me choose the white tees and that was a wise choice. River run has a great variety of of Par 4's, taking the driver out of your hand on several holes.

Amenities received a low score for and driving range that uses foam balls and snack bar that is way too pricey. And a $8 hot dog is absurd. Someone in my group dropped $23 for cheeseburger, crackers and a Miller Lite. Where are we, at the BWI airport?

Overall i had a great day and i can't wait to go back. Thanks to River run for using GolfNow.

Nice course

It's been a year since I've played here and really enjoyed the outing. Course was in nice shape, offered some tougher holes and some scoring holes. We played the white tees - they have red, gold, white and blue. It's tight so you need to be accurate, but can be rewarding if you keep it in the fairway. It's a Gary player design so layout is nice.

I was visiting family out of town and Mike took care of me getting me on the course ahead of schedule. Love the layout and glad they were open so I could get a round in after Christmas.
