River Run Golf Course
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.

This course offers a nice variety of holes
I play this course at least once a year. It has 4 sets of tees and can be challenging depending on which you choose. Despite the flat terrain of the area, the layout provides a variety of holes. Landing areas are mostly generous. The greens were recently airreated but rolled pretty true. Conditions were OK for December - the grass was still green - no Bermuda here. One of the fairways had been recently reseeded - no worries we simply rolled our balls for a reasonable lie. The electric cart (needed and included in the fee since there's a long way between green and tee especially on the back 9) was the fastest I've ever experienced!
This course was great
Course played well, was a blast, great staff, and was very well maintained.
Course Condition....
At this time, River Run was in bad shape. We played it earlier in the summer and it was in great shape. We were surprised to see the shape it was in late September. Expected better.
Great course, even with all the rain
The course was in great shape despite almost an inch of rain that fell the night before. About 90% of the course was perfect. there were a couple of low spots that were a little soggy, but we have played other courses in the OC area that get much wetter with much less rain. Hats off to the crew over there.
Course is challenging, but was very managable and we all had fun (range of 13-24 handicaps in our group).
Challenging course, tight but in great condition
The course was in great condition and the staff was friendly and accomodating. I forgot my golf shoes and dreaded having to buy a pair there but found the prices to be fair and the selection more than adequate.
