River Run Golf Club in Ocean City is just minutes away from the beach. The golf course has different front and back nines that make for an interesting round. This Gary Player design starts out across a wide-open landscape before moving on to more tree-lined terrain on the backside. The tighter back nine is tougher than the first nine but overall it's an approachable golf course. The player-friendly layout is gentle enough for beginners with medium-sized greens that aren't especially difficult and generous fairways that offer plenty of room. There is modest bunkering along the greens and fairways and a few lakes and some marshland come into play as well. While River Run Golf Club may not be the most formidable test, the course provides just enough of a challenge for scratch golfers.

Nice layout but….

The course was in need of some care. There were a lot of burned out and bare patches on the fairways, the tee boxes were a little chewed up and the greens needed some serious TLC. Hopefully this was just the wrong time to play this course. Not worth the price with these issues.

Horrendous

The course condition was absolutely atrocious. Fairways and tee boxes were absolutely torn apart. The greens were terrible as well. Not to mention, the driving range didn’t even use real balls. It consistent of foam balls. If you’re going to charge $95, this is absolutely unacceptable. Either lower the price or fix up the course…

Nice Course and great restaurant.

Construction of homes near the course was distracting. But only impacted a few holes.
Staff was great!
The course restaurant "Hideaway " was excellent!

Nice people, very poor condition

Greens were in bad shape, recently punched, very slow and lots of bare spots.

Okay for $40 to swing a club and get some exercise but don’t expect good conditions. Nice layout.

New Construction Alley

If you like riding through jobsites you’ll love it.
I haven’t been there in a while - the new construction that’s going on is ridiculous. They made no mention of it at the Pro Shop.
Course conditions were average at best.
At any rate- it’s worth playing at twilight rates - but I’d never pay full boat.

Advance notice required

A few greens were fine. Half were burnt out, and four were recently pinned with sand fill. Why do you show a $95 regular rate with a hot deal for $56 when playing conditions warrant $40?
