Thank you so much for sharing your review and for playing Ocean Pines Golf Club. We're glad you enjoyed our Robert Trent Jones-designed course but are sorry a beverage cart wasn't available when you played. Unfortunately, we were short-staffed at the end of summer, but have worked to resolve that issue. We hope it didn't impact your enjoyment of your round too much and that you'll come back and play with us again soon!

Bad weather, nice course

The weather certainly didn’t cooperate. Heavy rains in the morning left the course soaking wet. Cart path only makes for a long round. But nothing that Ocean Pines could do about that. The greens and most of the tee boxes were good. As were most of the fairways. A couple however were borderline unplayable. Based on the morning storms and the continual rain, I’m actually surprised the course was open. But we made the best of it. Always enjoy playing Ocean Pines. And the Transfusions made by our bartender Judy after the soggy round were excellent!!

nothing memorable but nothing awful

I replay my round later in the evening in my head...I had trouble remembering this one and no alcohol was involved. The course is just bland. The holes are very similar...Most are tall pines left and right, mostly doglegs left it seemed all with raised greens to help water drainage (so add yardage most holes)..but most greens are raised but flat without too much slope. One STUPID hole with two trees in the middle of the fairway, I guess that's been debated and cursed many times (and yes I birdied it). The condition was fine, greens slow (but it had rained hard night before). The course just needed a "spa day"..could use some cleanup, some color, a few potholes here and there, something more than just green and pine would help...the bunkers were tough, but that's the rain and no raking...the greens were not too bad with divot marks...the range is wide, nice grass tees, and plenty of space, the clubhouse is new and deck/bar are fine (my hotdog was overcooked but a great steamed bun)...there's water on a few holes but nothing awful...most hazards are easy to see..it's flat, would be easy to walk...the challenge is staying out of the trees or being smart and punch out...play to the edges of the doglegs...little advantage to cutting corners....think 3 woods off tees, keep it in play and have fun on this course

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us, and for playing Ocean Pines Golf Club. Our course definitely earns the "Pines" in its name, which you clearly encountered during your round! We do think our Robert Trent Jones, Sr. course offers a challenging yet fair layout - and definitely showcases Jones' use of bunkering. We're glad you had fun and hope you'll join us for another round soon!

Good Value

Friendly staff. Course is decent condition. Greens a little slow with too many ball marks which is typical of a public course. Had been tracking towards a 5 hour round until Group let us play through. Price for early morning start was reasonable for mid summer.

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback and for playing Ocean Pines Golf Club. Because our course is so spread out, our standard pace of play is around 4 1/2 hours, so it's definitely possible that it would take a bit longer on a busy day. We're sorry if the pace lessened your enjoyment of your round and hope you enjoyed the course, even if it took a bit longer to get through. We truly appreciate your patronage and hope you'll give us another try the next time you're in the area!

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback and for playing with us. What you noticed during your round is a common agronomic practice in the area at this time of year. We use this mowing technique when the weather is hot to reduce stress on the edges of the greens. We appreciate your comments and the opportunity to share a bit about how we manage our course maintenance. We are grateful for your support and hope you'll join us for another round soon!

Now is the time

From the time we checked in to the minute we left the staff was fantastic course conditions couldn’t be better. A little rain but what a great day. By the time I got to the 17th hole I was a little tired. It plays longer than it seems. Just love the course! Thank you Ocean Pines
