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.

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
A good time that took too long
This course has a great variety of shots that require some thought. Set along the ponds and creeks adjoining Newport Bay, the environment is unrivaled.
I played with Mark and John (members) and John’s friend Stephen - the Members were a great asset to the club and I thoroughly enjoyed this foursome. Unfortunately, the pace of the group ahead often kept us waiting, and the Saturday AM round took nearly 5 hours, which was the only knock in an otherwise great experience. I look forward to playing here again.
Newport Bay
Well designed course, with combination of tree-lined holes through number 10 and scenic views of water and bay on last 8 holes. The wind blew about 25-35 mph through most of the round, which became a significant factor on the back side. However, course conditions were excellent and staff was very friendly. I’ve only played the course twice but will definitely consider doing so again when on vacation in the Ocean City, MD area.
Nice Course
Loved the course, very challenging and fast greens. I had lots of birdie attempts that ended up being bogeys. Gotta work on my putting.
Greens were excellent. Great speed but had difficulty reading. Would absolutely play again. Even though it was crowded for a 1.56 tee time, pace of play was just ok.
Great shape
Course was in great shape and pace of play was around 4 hours. We will be back!
Very Nice course.
Nothing but good things to say. Tee times were slightly backed up, but staff communication was excellent. Nice practice area to fill in the time. Definitely will play again.a
Not worth it for what they charge
Course layout was one of the worse I ever played. When using my watch GPS it did not sure the true nature of the layout of some holes. Course was not in good condition. Ranger was useless when we complained about the 4 some in front of us who were stopping to take pics, walking back and forth from cart to green numerous times have no idea why, Just left a awful taste in our mouths. Will never recomend it or play it again.
First nine: boring. Second nine: Wow!
The first nine is relatively short, boring and somewhat dangerous. You play back and forth from one hole to the next. Nothing interesting, really (and, for the record, I shot +1, so this review does not result from poor play on my part). The second nine is a different story. Beautiful holes designed in and around the marsh. We will go back to play this nine holes. Very challenging , but still playable.
Gave up after 4 1/2 hours.
Over booked, no marshals left after 14 holes.
Was the only let down of five courses in the area on our trip to the area. So so course with some really nice scenery which I was really thankful for as I sat over every Drive and approach shot for a minimum of ten minutes.
Newport Bay GC
Beautiful layout in superb condition. One of OC's finer courses.
