River Run Golf Course
About
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 layout
Course was nice and relatively in decent shape. Read reviews from last fall and had low expectations, but was pleasantly surprised. Played "cart path" only round which extended the play time, but not by much. Holes weren't that wide and walking to ball was manageable. Will play here again.
Pretty Good Course
We played in late March so in fairness it was far from peak conditions. Greens were sandy. Sand traps were below average. Housing was being built feverishly around the course the day we played and looks like it will take up every square inch. Course was OK but I was expecting a little more.
Disappointed
I've been playing River Run for 20 years and the conditions continue to deteriorate. Lots of new housing construction on the property to which the golf course seems to have taken a back seat. Greens were aerated two weeks ago but are mostly sand. Bunkers are horrible - wet, hard, stony, with erosion bags showing on many. Two fairways were painted. No concessions. It'll be a while until I return.
This really nice layout deserves better.
A Little Gem Near Ocean City
I've played this course a lot in recent years but not in the last three years. I was surprised with all of the houses being constructed but it did not detract from the course's playability. Even with a massive rainfall the day before, the course absorbed the excess water nicely. Me and the crew look forward to playing again soon, especially after all of the construction is complete and the hitting nets are put into place for the new driving range.
Very cool course
Good layout, was in good shape, some bunkers un playable but just rained the other day. Would play here again, good value if you get a deal.
Very good experience
Friendly funny and helpful cart guy. Even dove us out to the range (limited distance balls, short range). Rep at the front desk wasn’t as friendly. The course was in good condition. There was some grass clumps in the fairways, but not their fault. The recent rains made the course wet. The bent greens were magnificent!!! Nice layout. Would play again. Good value for the money.
