River Run Golf Club in Ocean City is just minutes away from the beach. The golf course has different front and back nines that make for an interesting round. This Gary Player design starts out across a wide-open landscape before moving on to more tree-lined terrain on the backside. The tighter back nine is tougher than the first nine but overall it's an approachable golf course. The player-friendly layout is gentle enough for beginners with medium-sized greens that aren't especially difficult and generous fairways that offer plenty of room. There is modest bunkering along the greens and fairways and a few lakes and some marshland come into play as well. While River Run Golf Club may not be the most formidable test, the course provides just enough of a challenge for scratch golfers.

Nice course

It's been a year since I've played here and really enjoyed the outing. Course was in nice shape, offered some tougher holes and some scoring holes. We played the white tees - they have red, gold, white and blue. It's tight so you need to be accurate, but can be rewarding if you keep it in the fairway. It's a Gary player design so layout is nice.

Will be back

I was visiting family out of town and Mike took care of me getting me on the course ahead of schedule. Love the layout and glad they were open so I could get a round in after Christmas.

Great condition

Great day to play. For those who have trouble finding the fairway, the leaves made it difficult to find your ball.

Don't bother with the range

Foam golf balls on the range, don't waste your time driving over there

Difficult course but good

Course winds through houses, fairways are narrow with no bail out, tree lined. Holes are interesting but difficult if you are a single digit handicap, no bail out areas, you cannot miss the fairway by even 10 feet. Greens were fast and true and firm, which I like. Stressful round for your game, not the place to go if you want a relaxing round with open layout. Staff was top notch, head pro was great. I wish it was a little bit of an easier layout so I would choose to play there more often.
