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.

Very Hot day ,

It was a very Hot day, had a good day in spite of the weather. The only draw back would be the expense of drinks and Hot Dogs! $25 for 3 hotdogs, SCAM!

A bit pricy

Fairways and tee offs are lacking grass, greens are extreemly slow. Course is OK but not for $105.

Rough shape

Course was in rough shape. We played this course in February and it was in much better shape. I guess the summer play has been tough on this course.

Decent course layout with some holes requiring accuracy off the tee. Greens were all in good shape but slow. Pace of play was little over five hours - waited on every hole. Staff was friendly but facilities were sub par.

Was Good

This course used to a pleasant place to golf. Now it is a mess. Don’t think I will be back no matter how much it costs.

Overall Nice Experience

My wife and I played in the mid afternoon, and dealt with high heat and humidity. Good news is we had the course to ourselves. But having played here before, the pace of play has never been a problem. The course was generally in good shape with several problematic fairways improved since the spring. Greens were on the slower side, imo. My only complaint is that the course needs to put some money into fixing their cart paths. They are very rough in many areas.

Nice course, very slow.

Well over 5 hours to play course! There was a marshall but he could not get the slow players moving.

This slow is not acceptable to me.

Great value

Course was slightly above average condition for this time of year. Hot no rain weather does beat up a course like this.

Layout was challenging but fair with rewards for good shoots and penalties for poor shots.

Greens were in great condition - some fairways needed work.

Don't go for the range

Driving range uses flight reduced balls, essentially nurf golf balls.
