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.

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.

Not a fair evaluation

Unfortunately, there was 2 inches of rain the eveniing prior to our round. It was cart path only. Obviously, the greens held all shots. The roll was quicker than expected because of the rain.
Have played both courses and with normal conditions they can be taxing, depending on the tees played.
Unfortunately, due to the amount of rain the evening before, it was taxing, cart path only, for an 89 year old man. Obviously, I felt the fee was excessive considering the condition (wet and cart paths only)of the course.
