Ocean City Golf Club - Newport Bay
Rating Snapshot
About
Ocean City Golf Club boasts 36 holes of championship golf. The Seaside Course opened in 1959 and it was later joined by the Newport Bay Course. Both offer scenic views of the surrounding marshes and bay. Newport Bay is a formidable challenge but it will test your ability to think strategically, not your distance. Strategically placed bunkers come into play and the subtle contours of the landscape were utilized to their full extent. The course is a formidable test but it is player friendly enough to appeal to all skill levels. The golf course also touts some of the most scenic views on the Mid-Atlantic coast, although the surroundings are more Carolinian in feel. Both of Ocean City's courses offer something different. Seaside has a more traditional design but both offer plenty of variety.

Bag drop attendants
This course has MANY outings throughout the year even in November but at the end of our round the players coming off seaside course put alot of pressure of the staff of 2 felt a bit rushed and prority switched to the players coming off the in from the outing also it was late in the day after 3pm
When we arrived we were told that it was cart path only this should be noted before we pay for the course which is online very disappointed this is the second time at this course call before making reservations. There had been no rain for weeks
Horrible Experience
Several factors contributed to probably the worst golf day I can remember. First, no one told us that this course would be cart path only until we got to the first tee. Since I have some physical challenges that was a huge problem. This cart path only policy lead to such a slowdown that everyone was waiting 10-15 minutes between shots. No ranger to move things along. The excuse was that they had reseeded the fairways, but they also over-watered them to the extent that on many holes you or your ball would be standing in water. After 3 hours and 15 minutes we finally finished nine holes and gave up. Shame on Newport Bay.
Most Unenjoyable round in years
This was the most unenjoyable round, I have had in a long time. I ended up quitting after 9 holes eventhough I was shooting better than my normal score. The reason..... they had just overseeded and flooded the fairsways. A shot in the middle, you would be standing in water for your next shot. What made it worse was cart path only. Cart paths were far from fairways and the walking to and from your ball was terrible. On top of that, the course stacked the teetimes and made the waiting between shots way too long. It took 3 hours to play 9 holes. There were no rangers and the course didn't seem to care about the golfer.
Well Run
Lot of golfers at this course but the starters were well organized and had players getting off the 1st tee very efficiently. Course was in good condition and despite the heavy play we finished in a little over 4 hours
slow play
Way too slow, no ranger. Sat behind two groups at several tees. Have always liked this course, considered becoming a member but not sure now.
OC Weekend
The course was in great condition
Efficient staff and bag drop welcome
A really good golf course
Well maintained golf course that gets a lot of play. Really good pace during a weekend round
Great Course
You cannot beat the layout of the course. Very scenic, works the landscape into the course very well. This round however, the shape of the course was a bit more "tired". Needs some attention if this is going to be a premier course, which it could be. Would consider membership.
For.the hot deal.price, excellent
Couldn't be happier with what I paid. Beautiful.view of marsh from almost every hole. Weird layout routing on 3 or 4 holes, taking an iron on tee and then 4 iron to green feels wrong.
Well maintained. If wind was blowing would be a tough course but I didn't have any wind so.it was pretty mundane.
No elevation changes, water in play on maybe 5 holes.
Greens needed work
Tee box and fairways where great but greens showed alot of sign on not repairing ball marks
