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.

Beautiful golf course; great experience

I thoroughly enjoyed playing the Newport Bay course. I was fortunate to get a “Hot Deal” from GolfNow and paid $69 plus the fee instead of $89. But the course is worth $89. All staff were were friendly and efficient and I played with 3 very nice gentlemen. The course is in great shape and the views cannot be beaten. Will definitely recommend this facility and hope to come back to play.

Hot weather
Used cart

Unfortunately, played after a major storm had passed through. Course was very wet and it was cart path only. Would have been easier walking. All in all the course was in excellent condition.

A bit slow

Course is well kept and worth the money. If you go out in a twosome , it will inevitably be slow. Friendly staff and drink cart readily available. As always, helps if you play well.

Good course with nice layout - staff unfriendly/ unhelpful

Good course. Enjoyed round. Bag drop and pro shop staff had ZERO personality. No acknowledgement from bag drop guy when we arrived and had to head to 1st tee at tee time without any help / direction from him. Ran out of range balls.

Nice practice facility otherwise. Course is a good layout allowing you to hit different tee shots.

Tee boxes were in good shape. Greens were good not great. Some seemed bumpier. Fairways were ok, brown spots here and there. In general the course conditions were not manicured but didn’t really affect play. Really just aesthetically .

I was ok with value only because we paid afternoon rate. I wouldn’t have been happy paying full price in the morning.

Scenery is pretty though. Maybe next time it will improve.

Picturesque course

First time playing the Newport Bay course. It is a picturesque course! The pace of play was good after the foursome let us play through on the third hole. Friendly staff! Some of the greens were aerated. Overall, a very nice course.
