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.

Course is in great shape Greens we're consistent not too fast or slow Fairways were perfect. The only gripe I have is there is no hole layout posted at the tee boxes or on the score card. and there is a few holes with water that is hard to see when taking your second shot. especially if it's your first time playing the course other than that very happy with the course conditions. and will definitely play again when I return to oc

Bagels

Love this course, play here every trip we make to Ocean City but really wish they would address the Bunkers. To call them Sand Traps would be a lie.

Love the River

After hearing some negative reviews from other golfers, my buddy and I were not expecting what we saw. The course was in great shape with fairways lush and greens that ran true and not exceedingly fast. We were able to get out earlier and a foursome waved us through. "Sharkee" in the Pro Shop was a blast to talk to and the Starter kept an eye on the course pace of play. We will certainly be back. The only down side, was all the construction near the course.

Wasn't worth the $99 they were asking for a round of golf. They were sanding the greens.

Bulldozed

How does a golf community bulldoze their range for more condos. Can you imagine how little they care about your home value and even less so - your golf member experience. Nice people at the course but boring layout and no range means it was a one and done for me. Too bad because the greens are actually very good right now.

Not worth the Prices

When walking into the club house I was greeted by a super friendly person which was nice. When paying $130 for a round of golf (premium price for around here) I’m wanting to hit actual range balls and not foam balls that tell you nothing. I understand they said their range is under construction but the price doesn’t account for that. The course was in sub par conditions as it’s more a fault of the customers as multiple divot holes not filled in the fairways, and not fixing ball marks on the greens. Lastly our round of golf took 6.5hours as pace of play was a joke. All in all, foam balls, crater fields, and waiting forever to tee off is not worth $130 and will not be back as I can play two rounds at most other courses and have more fun.

Pretty Good Course

We played in late March so in fairness it was far from peak conditions. Greens were sandy. Sand traps were below average. Housing was being built feverishly around the course the day we played and looks like it will take up every square inch. Course was OK but I was expecting a little more.

Disappointed

I've been playing River Run for 20 years and the conditions continue to deteriorate. Lots of new housing construction on the property to which the golf course seems to have taken a back seat. Greens were aerated two weeks ago but are mostly sand. Bunkers are horrible - wet, hard, stony, with erosion bags showing on many. Two fairways were painted. No concessions. It'll be a while until I return.

This really nice layout deserves better.

A Little Gem Near Ocean City

I've played this course a lot in recent years but not in the last three years. I was surprised with all of the houses being constructed but it did not detract from the course's playability. Even with a massive rainfall the day before, the course absorbed the excess water nicely. Me and the crew look forward to playing again soon, especially after all of the construction is complete and the hitting nets are put into place for the new driving range.

Great off season spot with good pace

I golfed with a member and resident - we were never slowed by the group ahead of us and the course was in good shape.

It’s clear the grounds crew is working hard to retain the course’s challenges as the community crowds into the undeveloped spaces adjacent to it.
