Ocean City Golf Club - Newport Bay
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.

Great course for the money
The Newport Bay course is a great course for the money. Teed off at 11 on a Sunday and finished in 4 hours. The course is in great shape given the combination of extreme heat and tons of rain. Greens were running great.
The ranger and all the folks at the course are super friendly. And the price for food and drinks at the clubhouse are extremly reasonable.
I would recommend Newport Bay for low handicappers as well as the average golfer.
Great Course & Beautiful View!
I love the course and it is always in great condition! The water views are stunning!
Cart Path Only
This time of year, you can expect cart path only. They over seeded the fairways which makes for the fairways to be longer than normal. But their greens were grease lighting!! Very fast. A must play!
Bayside Golfers
You are supposed to drive golf cart on cart path some areas that were flooded with water. Also some areas need better signs for directions to next hole. Maybe print a map with hole diagram on score card like some other courses.
Good course and pace of play early in the morning. Back 9 is a bit more challenging than the front as it goes into the marsh land. Excellent greens. Snack bar didn't open until 9am which was a bit disappointing. Should have had more drinking water available on the course as well as some spike brushes. Course should also supply more yardage info as many shots are visually deceiving. Bring your laser yardage finder.
Try it, you'll like it.
One of the beautiful courses right on the marsh and water. You have to think about each shot to score well.
Best of the second tier courses in OC
The best bang for your buck in OC if you can find it for around $60. At $100 you will be disappointed.
Great layout with some of the best finishing holes in OC. Scoring well of the front will give you the best chance to go low for the round. If the wind blows on the back 9, say your prayers!
Would like to play again
Some blind holes and hidden hazards. Lots of places to add strokes. Small greens on some holes. Need to know your distances.
One of the top Ocean City courses
Arrived early and the staff took my clubs and put them in starting order. Starter explained the present course conditions. We had an excellent pace of play. A much better pace once it started raining (everyone else stopped)
Played 2 holes in the rain then the sun returned. I try to play this course 2x a year.
Makes You Think
Tough but fair course. Lot's of water and marsh so you have to plan out your shots.
Great Fun.
Newport Bay is One of the Best in the OC Area
Lots of challenging interesting holes that make you think about each shot. The surrounding marsh land is beautiful - Great views of wildlife abound.
Play it - you'll like it!
Good Solid Course with pretty back 9
Everything was very good with the golf course, nothing unbelievable just v solid tee to green. Also great people working there and great amenities that you can use inside
