Ocean City Golf Club offers two championship courses: Newport Bay and Seaside. Opened in 1959, the Seaside Course is the club's original layout and since opening it has remained an Eastern shore favorite. It has a more traditional design than the other course, which underwent a renovation and rebuild. Seaside offers classic greens tightly lined with bunkers that are balanced with wide-open, player-friendly fairways. It is a challenging but playable test that is popular amongst locals. Five sets of tees make it even more approachable. The views of the marshes and bay, as well as the trees, give the course the feel of one in the Carolinas. In addition to the two courses, Ocean City Golf Club also offers a driving range and putting green before teeing off.

Second time playing this course and enjoyed it more since I was a little more familiar with the positioning necessary to set up shots. Greens needed to be cut as they were slowed due to length. Played in a little over four hours.

Great value for your dollar. Best in the area, imo. Course is always in great condition, forgiving fairways, very flat. Bring bug spray in the summer.

Settle in

A lot of walkers.. do not show up more than 10 mins before tee time or at least wait in the bar areas. 6 pack at the bar is more than on the course of the same flavor!? You will not finish a round is less than 4 hours.

Very enjoyable

I played this course Memorial Day 2022 was not too busy hence the five stars for pace of play.. the course has a lot of doglegs so positioning your ball is very important when you're driving Those holes. the greens were in great shape not too fast not too slow perfect pace. Overall had a very enjoyable experience will definitely play this course again when I'm back down this way..

Great day at golf course -54 holes

I found a good deal on golf now to play and arrived a little early and was able to get right out. After finishing I wanted to play an extra 18 on the Newport bay course,was able to get replay of $30 and luckily course was pretty wide open in afternoon so was able to hop on. Upon finishing that 18 had a few hours left before dark and starters/cart gentlemen said I could keep playing if I wanted when asking about hopping on again. Raced around and was able to play my third round of the day in about 2 hours. 54 holes and started around 10:30am, that is some good pace. Staff was super nice and helpful. Great first experience at this course, and would definitely look to return when back at the beach.
