OP Review
The course layout is great and challenging but the conditions of the greens, fairways and rough were a bit rough. However there’s indications that there’s investment happening into the course. I would expect better conditions next year.
Don’t play here
Overall, course needs to be shut down for the season and fix all their issues. Tee boxes had way too high grass (just cut it!). Fairway lies played like first cut rough. First cut rough was practically a lost ball in their horrible deep crab grass. Greens (mostly) simply unplayable, very fuzzy, needed to be cut and patches of new sod in areas. Should stop taking $ and fix course for next season
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback with us and for playing Ocean Pines Golf Club. The course experienced some stress at the end of the summer, which you experienced during your round. However, we recently hired a new superintendent and assistant superintendent, who have already addressed the issues, which we shouldn't have again going forward. The course is already in excellent shape due to their efforts, and we feel confident that you would have a very different experience should you play us again. We do hope you'll decide to give our Robert Trent Jones-designed course another try and look forward to seeing you out on the links again soon!
Not great.
Starter was not pleasant. Course conditions were bad.
Thank you so much for sharing you feedback and for playing Ocean Pines golf club. We're sorry to hear that you weren't treated to excellent customer service from our staff during your visit. We normally pride ourselves on our great team, so it's disappointing that your experience didn't live up to our normal standards. We're also sorry that course conditions were lacking during your visit. The course did suffer some stress at the end of the summer, but our recently hired superintendent and assistant superintendent have already addressed the issues, which we don't expect to have going forward. We know that should you choose to play Ocean Pines Golf Club again, you would have a very different experience. We do hope you'll decide to give us another try and hope to have you play another round with us again soon!
Awful
The worse course I have ever played I will never come back
Thank you for sharing your feedback and our apologies for the poor course conditions that you experienced during your round. The course did suffer some stress at the end of the summer, which was clearly evident when you played. We recently hired a new superintendent and assistant superintendent, who have already addressed and largely corrected the issues you encountered. Were you to play a round with us now or in the future, you would definitely encounter a different course than the one you played. We do hope you'll give our Robert Trent Jones course another try, but regardless hope you continue to enjoy golf in the greater Ocean City area.
poor maintenance
RTJ would roll over in his grave if he saw how this course has gone to pot!! Crab grass on the tees, and fairways. Bare spots on some greens where you cannot find 15 feet of puttable surface. They had play only on the front nine as they were aerating the back nine grrens. For what purpose? The money was put into a new clubhouse by association ownership, . the course has been on a downhill slide for years as.the income produced from golf is allowed to disappear.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us and for your concern for our Robert Trent Jones-designed course. The course did experience stress at the end of the summer, which resulted in the poor conditions when you played. However, we recently hired a new superintendent and assistant superintendent, and they have already identified and largely addressed the issues you encountered during your visit. Course conditions are already dramatically different than when you played, and we don't expect to experience the same issues again. We do hope you'll decide to try Ocean Pines Golf Club again and to see that we're once again proud to live up to the our RTJ lineage, but regardless hope you'll continue to enjoy golf in the Ocean City area.
Abysmal condition of the greens . The majority of the greens had significant patches of dead or missing grass. Staff blamed aeration 2 weeks prior however most of the greens I would considered lost. To make matters worse what grass was on greens was long and not mowed. Fairways on nearby courses roll better than these greens. Don’t waste your time until they dramatically recover the greens
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback and for playing Ocean Pines Golf Club. The combination of course aeration and stress experienced at the end of the summer definitely resulted in poor conditions when you played. However, we recently hired a new superintendent and assistant superintendent, and they have already identified and addressed the issues encountered during your visit. Course conditions are dramatically different now compared to when you played, and we expect those conditions to continue in the future due to our maintenance crew's expertise. We do hope you'll give us another try the next time you're playing in the area, but regardless hope that you continue to enjoy golf on the Eastern Shore. Thank you!
Worst Course Ever Played
The course was in horrible condition. The fairways were hairy, the rough was very high and full of weeds and most greens had long areas of no grass. I’ve played public golf course in much better condition. After 9 very disappointing holes we quit and went home. I feel the course should refund me for the two fees I paid.
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us and our apologies for your disappointing round. The course did experience some stress at the end of the summer, which is what you encountered when you played. However, our recently hired superintendent and assistant superintendent have identified and already addressed those problems, which we don't expect to encounter moving forward. Course conditions are dramatically different now than when you played, and we're proud to offer a golf experience worthy of our Robert Trent Jones lineage. We do hope you'll give us another try, but regardless hope you'll continue to enjoy golf in the Ocean City area. Thanks again for playing.
Garbage
The course is in horrific condition, and the staff is rude and dismissive. They charged us the full fee, even though we didn't actually tee off until well after twilight. With so many options in ocmd avoid this course and their awful staff. The Glenn riddle courses are a far better option and only 5 min away. Won't go back, and I have a house in ocean pines.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us and for playing Ocean Pines Golf Club. We're definitely sorry to hear that you were treated rudely by our staff. We pride ourselves on having a friendly and helpful team, and to hear that you experienced otherwise is disappointing to us.
While it would be helpful to know more about the fee you were charged for playing, we can tell you that as an Ocean Pines resident you should receive a discount on public rates (with your Ocean Pines resident ID card), including the twilight rate that begins after 3pm. However, if you happened to book your round through a third-party agency such as GolfNow, then you'll be charged the regular public rate as those websites don't offer resident rates. To receive the resident rate, you should book through the Ocean Pines Golf website or by calling the Golf Shop.
Regarding playing conditions, the course did suffer some stress at the end of the summer when you played. However, our recently hired superintendent and assistant superintendent have already identified and address those issues, and the course looks dramatically different now than when you played. We're looking forward to a great year of golf and do hope you'll give us another try the next time you come down to stay. Regardless, we hope you continue to enjoy golf in the Ocean City area and that you'll let us know if there's any way we can offer our assistance in the future. Thank you!
Nice layout
The t boxes were in bad shape with very little grass and crab grass. Balls rolled off fairway and lost balls . Grass could have been cut lower. The greens were air rated a week ago and there were large areas that needed seeding. It could have been from all the rain this year.
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback and for playing Ocean Pines Golf Club. We're glad you enjoyed our Robert Trent Jones layout but are sorry for any disappointing course conditions you encountered. The course did experience some stress at the end of summer which, when combined with aeration, would definitely have impacted your round. We recently hired a new superintendent and assistant superintendent, who have already identified and largely addressed the issues you experienced during your round. We don't expect to deal with those issues again and are looking forward to a great year of golf. We do hope you'll stop by again for another round soon and that you continue to enjoy golfing in the Ocean City area. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your review with us and for playing Ocean Pines Golf Club. We're sorry you had a disappointing round, but want you to know that our newly hired course superintendent and assistant superintendent have already corrected the issues you experienced when you played and that the course is currently in great shape. We're looking forward to a great year of golf and encourage you to give us another try. We're confident your experience will be very different this time. In the meantime, we'd welcome any additional feedback you might have and encourage you to contact our PGA General Manager of Golf John Malinowski at golf@oceanpinesgolf.org. Thanks again, and happy golfing!
Thank you for sharing your review and honest feedback. We're sorry that you experienced less-than-ideal course conditions when you played, but can tell you that our recently hired superintendent and assistant superintendent have addressed the issues you encountered. The course is currently in great shape and we're looking forward to a great golf year - one that shows off our Robert Trent Jones layout to its full advantage. We hope you'll give us another try, but regardless hope you continue to enjoy golf in the Ocean City area. Thanks again!
Choose as a last option
Greens and fairways show a lot of stress. This is not a championship course, is the rough so high. Balls just off the fairway hard to find and leads to extreme slow play. Staff was friendly and carts were of the path on most holes. Many other courses available in the area with much better playing conditions.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us, and for playing Ocean Pines Golf Club. There's no question that our area has been hit by some extreme rain events lately, as well as extended high tides from recent storms, including a hurricane. Since our drainage is dependent upon the tides, sometimes there's just no where for water to go. This also makes it difficult for our maintenance crew to get out and mow, especially the fairways and rough, which may be what you experienced during your round. While these kinds of conditions do happen, especially this time of year, they do not represent what the course conditions typically are. Although we do have some limited areas of stress (again, not uncommon for the end of the summer) our course overall has been in great shape.We do appreciate your patronage and hope you'll give us another try. Fall is a beautiful time of year on the Eastern Shore, so we hope you'll have the chance to do some more golfing soon!
Slow, over priced, and terrible staff
This course has a great layout but doesn’t place any value on customer experience or satisfaction. The club house doesn’t except cash which is very odd and inconvenient. We didn’t see the beverage cart until hole 17 because according to the attendant it’s hot and it takes a long time to stock the cart and get moving. Allow me to confirm what several other reviewers have complained about...... expect this course to be CARTS ONLY when you arrive. 16/18 holes I played were dry and even had one employee rolling his eyes because of a lack of 90degree rule or any other attempt to minimize walking and increase pace of play. To wrap this review up I’ll include that the starter/attendant dropped my bag while carrying it to the bag drop. This resulted in a new vokey wedge getting scratched. This is definitely not a friendly course to anyone who is disabled or is looking for a relaxing round. $100 round with $.50 service and attention to detail.
Dear Ocean Pines: some of your rates are here are $85. Hopefully you knew that. Add the convenience fee and taxes and you’re approaching $100 just like the reviewer stated.
I can’t understand why you tried to pretend a different course got reviewed. Way to take responsibility for course conditions.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're so sorry you had an unpleasant experience, but wonder if perhaps you have us confused with another golf course as our fees are not in the $100 range. If you did play Ocean Pines, however, we would definitely be interested in hearing more about your visit and trying to address the problems you encountered. Please feel free to reach out to our PGA General Manager of Golf John Malinowski at golf@oceanpinesgolf.org or 410-641-6057. Thank you, and happy golfing!
The rough is terrible! If you hit your ball 3 yards off the fairway, you will have trouble finding your ball. This leads to a slow pace of play and an overall worse experience. There are better options in the area with great course conditions
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. We're sorry that you had a disappointing experience. We can tell you that we have had a significant amount of rainfall and prolonged high tides (our drainage is affected by tidal patterns) from a recent hurricane. Unfortunately, when the course is wet like that, it makes it difficult for our maintenance crew to get out and mow, especially the fairways and rough. We imagine that's what caused the conditions you encountered when you played. Those conditions don't represent our normal standards, so we do hope you'll decide to give us another try. We appreciate your business and hope you continue to enjoy golf in the Ocean City area.
Well designed but needs lots of work
It needs to invest in drainage! The course is always wet! Very poor conditioning. If they could figure away to invest in the golf course thus could be a very special track! With that said... the people are very nice the cart girl was terrific!
A Marshall needed to get involved over 5 hour round!
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. There's no question that the heavy rain events and prolonged periods of high tides (all of our water drainage is tidal) from storms have kept us a bit wet, but that's something that's always a challenge in a coastal area. We have invested a significant amount in course drainage and continue to do what we can to minimize the impact on our guests. We do appreciate the compliments on our staff and our Robert Trent Jones layout, and hope that conditions will be a bit drier the next time you visit. Happy golfing!
Thank you so much for the five-star review and for playing Ocean Pines Golf Club. We're thrilled that enjoyed your round and hope you'll make the quick drive down from Philly to play with us again soon!
Great experience ruined by Staff
Beautiful course in mostly very good shape (infestation of large wasps on 11th or 12th green) and one sandy tee box was ruined by what I can best describe as an overzealous starter
The starter should serve as an ambassador to your course and this person took his job in a different direction. Demanded to search another groups cooler, overly rude when I went to take the cart to the parking lot to obtain something I left behind, but the central issue was accusing of us of playing as a five-some at the turn when in fact he knew that 5 people were in our group, one of them was a gentleman who payed to ride only because his son was too young to drive. He claimed he had received multiple complaints, but should have done more to tell the other groups the situation instead of accosting us at the term as if we were criminals stealing. We won’t be returning to Ocean Pines next year when we return to Ocean City despite a beautiful course that is convenient to where we are staying. Thank you sir for ruining an otherwise terrific day
Thank you so much for sharing your review and for visiting Ocean Pines Golf Club. We are truly sorry that you had such a disappointing experience and want you to know that what you encountered during your round does not meet the customer service standards of Ocean Pines Golf Club. We pride ourselves on having friendly, helpful staff members and are sorry that you seemed to experience the opposite of that. If you are willing, please reach out to our PGA General Manager of Golf John Malinowski, who would like to hear more about what transpired during your visit and hopefully rectify the situation. He can be contacted at golf@oceanpinesgolf.org or 410-641-6057. Again, our apologies for the poor treatment. We do hope you'll reconsider and give our course another try, but regardless hope you continue to enjoy golf in the Ocean City area. Thank you.
Thank you for the five-star review and for your support of Ocean Pines Golf Club. We truly appreciate your business and hope you'll play another round with us again soon!
Slow Greens & more
Greens very slow ... Not true at all. Pro shop staff charged extra for a companion even though I called and was told they would not. Having said that, the cart attendant/starter were wonderful friendly no people.
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback and for playing Ocean Pines Golf Club. We're glad you were treated well by our staff and hope you enjoyed your round on our Robert Trent Jones-designed course. We're sorry for any miscommunication about our ride-along companion fee. Our policy is to charge a cart fee for any guests who chose to ride and not play and apologize if you were given incorrect information about that when you called. If there's ever anything else we could do to improve upon your experience, please don't hesitate to contact us at golf@oceanpinesgolf.org.
