Great golf afternoon

Friendly reception. Started on time 12;12. Played as a twosome. The foursome in front of us permitted us to play thru. We completed the round in four hours.

Golf course is always a delight to play, fair and fun. Great greens and fairways growing in this spring.

NUMBER 18!

course in reasonably good late winter condition; but greens recently aerated & difficult to putt--seemed they would be slow normally. my wife and I played and enjoyed no forced carries except on par 3s. very fair distances for the ladies. the closing hole should be the signature--it's only 375 from the middle tees; but unless you drive 225+ center-left, there's no direct line to the green(trees to negotiate center & right, water left). very happy to leave with bogies.

It's winter

It's winter here in MD and the course was a little soggy but no standing water.. Cart path only for carts. Bunkers were O.K. and playable. Most greens were good, a few a little bumpy. Club house was under renovation but will be very nice come spring.

Great course

First time playing this course and it was definitely worth the hour drive to get there. From the moment we got to the pro shop until we got done with 18. The staff and other golfers were so professional. Would definitely recommend this course to anyone within a 2 hour driving radius to go and enjoy this beautiful course.

Tough course

Played a very cold, windy round on on the second to last day of the year. Besides the weather, the course itself was in great shape. Greens were running a little slow but that's to be expected in the winter. If you're planning on playing here, bring your A-game. This course is tight with tree lined fairways and OB on EVERY hole, both sides. Consider playing shorter tees if your driver isn't on point. All in all a great course and we'll definitely be back to try it in better weather.

Great Day

Very enjoyable course, great layout and fast/slight and tough undulating greens. It's really worth playing this course. We played with another couple which made the day better. The course should have signage off the main road, first time playing here was a guess if we were in right place as it's a mile of winding road to the course. Put this course on your list. If you're an average player, then play the Gold tee blocks (5600 yds) as oppose to white (6200 yds) - not necessary to force the second shots of 170 yds on the par 4's - on vacation, have fun. We would definitely play again when we come back to OC.

Great condition given all the rain

We played this course after the area experienced heavy rain for a week. We played here 4 days in a row. We tried a different coarse the first day and it was so wet you couldn't walk most of the time. While this coarse was cart path only it drained well and was very easy to walk. We were just happy to play and the additional excercise didn't hurt either of us. The greens were is great shape. Pace of play was pretty good, 4 hours and 15 minutes and they were booked solid. Everyone was friendly and we felt appreciated.

Poor coordination

Undortunately they had a tournament on the front 9 and had us start off the back. They did not tell us about the tournament until after we made the turn and had to wait 30 minutes for the last group in the tournament to finish number 9 and play 1. (It was a 9 hole ladies tournament). If that wasn't bad enough, we had to wait for the other foursomes that were already waiting to tee off. We played number 1 then quit as we were waiting on the first hole 15 minutes and saw that we had to wait again on number 2. Many other nice courses in the area than to waste time at this one.

Thank you so much for your honest feedback. You're right - this was poor coordination on our part. Your experience was the result of an employee not following directions for the management of the tee sheet this day. (This employee, incidentally, no longer works at the golf course.) Maintaining pace of play is a bit of an art, and on this day we failed, which resulted in a negative experience for you and some other golfers. We would very much like the opportunity to make this up to you , and hope you'll reach out to us at golf@oceanpinesgolf.org. In the meantime, let us apologize again for your frustration and poor playing experience. Please know that that is not how business is normally done at Ocean Pines Golf Club. Thank you.

Nice round at Ocean Pines.

Overall my wife and I had a pleasant experience except for the lack of greeting or any kind of reception by one of the two outside starters. One of the starters was very very pleasant while the other was obviously having a really bad day. There was wait time to begin our round. It only takes one poor performer to lower the level of satisfaction by paying customers. Hats off to the one starter that left a high level of satisfaction. Usually I do not take time to write so much but I wanted to make the point. In our prior round weeks ago because we belong to a local club, the lady starter was really exceptional!

Suggestion

Only disappointment is finding out its cart path only after we paid online and not told until we were released by cart guy. While not a big deal I think course should notify you before you pay once you arrive at course. With that said I'll play it again and hope they take my comments constructively.

Thank you for your honest feedback. Our standard practice is to let golfers know any cart path restrictions when they check in, so you are absolutely correct in stating that that should have happened. We apologize that it didn't and appreciate your bringing it to our attention. We are glad, however, that your experience will not prevent you from playing our course again. We look forward to having you back. Thank you!

We normally operate our beverage cart service throughout the summer, so we're not sure why there wasn't one at the time you played.

Course was in great shape even with a heavy rain in the morning. The layout lets you hit a driver quite often and is the right mix of openness and challenging. We got a hot deal on it so it was a great value.
