Course is in need of some work

Punched greens were very bumpy. First nine took three and a half hours. Thank God a lot of people let and the second nine was done in less than one and a half hours Hopefully the weather will cooperate and the course will get in better shape

Fun Round on a terrific layout

First time playing here. Very nice facility in great condition. Pace was a bit quicker than we were used to as a regular foursome. We were on pace but we actually waved up 2 threesomes during our round. They looked and played like course regulars.

Slow play. Behind to kids who have obviously not played before or not often, hit two to three balls off the tee. Originally 2- threesomes but one person hurt their back so became a five-some although warned by ranger twice. We won’t return, especially for the money.

Not worth the money

Paid $80 for a course that the tee boxes are a mess and the course overall looked like horses should be eating the fairway . Very disappointed overall this course should be a $30 course .

Great layout!

Terrific day of golf. Course is well designed and every hole is a pleasure to play.

Pace was on the fast side. We had a threesome behind and in front of our foursome. At times we felt a little rushed.

Overall great experience and will play again soon.

Letting greens grow can you say SLOW

Nice course just letting greens grow too much for me. Just couldn’t bring myself to hit the ball hard enough to get it to the cup. Average course fairly reasonable rate.

Nice Layout, Very Competitive Pricing

Ocean Pines features a nice course layout and very competitive pricing for the area for peak season. Many narrow tee shots with doglegs or small, well placed bunkers factor into decision making. A lot of the par 3 tees are well sheltered leading into more open greens, making a strong breeze a deceptive factor. Not as visually stunning as some of it's bay area counterparts, but a very well maintained and gorgeous parkland course in its own right.

Played on a hot day in July, drink cart was in constant rotation (checked in with us 3-4 times), and 2 players assistants were also checking in regularly to make sure we were good on water. That was an impressive touch. The range area is pretty busy, supporting a nice community in addition to the course, but the range balls were very reasonable ( I believe $7 for a bucket of 45).

At the time of this writing, the course does not have an ATM on sight. I was told they plan on getting one in the next month or so. Great value, supportive friendly staff. My only criticism is the greens were very slow, but they did get a solid amount of rain the day before and was in Cart Path Only on the day I played.

Ocean Pines Golf Course is excellent!!

Had another enjoyable round of golf at Ocean Pines Golf Course. Discount rate of 475 was still a little high in my opinion for this time of the year. but I guess that's what the market can bear. Staff was very friendly. Course was in decent but not great shape but it is still early in the growing season. Food and drinks in the bar were excellent as was the service. all in all , another enjoyable round of golf at Ocean Pines!!

Ocean Pines

Nice course, pace of play is good, greens were recently aerated so a little rough but still a nice course. Club tees were a little short. Par 3s are 160- 180 plus yds, quite a few birdie-able par 4s . Makes me think I'm better than I am...lol.
