Worst staff ever

Absolutely the rides test staff I’ve ever encountered in my life. Besides the kind lady in the shop, the two wanna be rent-a cops who sit out front need to get a grip on their retirement. I will not be coming back ever.

Cart paths only….WHY?

Pace of play was the only real problem. “Cart paths only” was major factor & it seemed totally unnecessary????

Course was very dry! Didn’t step in a puddle all day

Thank you so much for sharing your review and for playing Ocean Pines Golf Club. The course, like others in the area, had just been aerated when you played, which explains the conditions you experienced. The course is almost fully healed at this point and should be back to 100% within the next several days. We know that course aeration doesn't provide an ideal playing surface, so we encourage you to give our Robert Trent Jones-designed course another try when you're in the area!

Pass until May

Unfortunately the greens were absolutely unplayable. The aeration process was a disaster. Too much sand in spots other spots none. It was fairly wet. That didn’t help. I would not play on this course for at least another 2 to 3 weeks.

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback and for playing Ocean Pines Golf Club. You are correct that we had just aerated the course when you played. Aeration was followed by rain, which is why some areas had more sand than others. The course is just about back to normal playing conditions at this point, and should be at 100% in just a few days. We know that aeration doesn't provide ideal playing conditions, so we encourage you to try our Robert Trent Jones course when it's fully healed. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Windy weather

Tough track for a cold wet and windy day.

Very good layout and price for end of the year round. Only complaints were the wind, leaves and cart path only on my visit. Leaves were blown off fairways on the first 6 holes after that it was difficult to find a well hit tee shot. Would like to play again on a warm calm day when the balls have their normal carry, roll and without a two club wind. This course is a good test from the blues under normal conditions. Putting can be somewhat tricky on few holes due to pin placement and the greens having subtle breaks.

Thank you so much for sharing your review and your comments! We're so glad you enjoyed our Robert Trent Jones layout, even if the weather conditions were less than ideal. Now is definitely a great time to take advantage of low off-season rates, but we hope you'll be able to join us again when the conditions are a bit more temperate.

Old school, Myrtle Beach layout

Low-Mid 60's temperatures and just a little bit of wind. Course conditions were typical of a muni more than an upscale club. Layout was very good. A lot of long, strong, par fours, mostly tree-lined. Typical RTJ bunkers and use of water hazards. Par fives are easy except for the 4th, a 584-yard hole from the blues. Strong finishing holes on both 9s. Par 3s are fair but similar distances from the blues (184, 188, 168, 185).

It reminded me of old school Myrtle Beach courses, like Possum Trot. The course was packed, so pace of play was slow (4 hr, 35 min).
