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.

Great off season spot with good pace

I golfed with a member and resident - we were never slowed by the group ahead of us and the course was in good shape.

It’s clear the grounds crew is working hard to retain the course’s challenges as the community crowds into the undeveloped spaces adjacent to it.

Best course I’ve ever played

Incredible course, challenging, great views. I’ll play any Gary player course now.

One negative is the wastewater dumping on hole 12 but oh well

Nice Course

The course was very nice, pace was great. Only criticism is the water on certain holes is not clearly marked if you are not familiar with the course. They need checkered flags on high poles to warn golfers of the water as it is not visible from the fairways and tee boxes on certain. Other ten that nice place to play. I will be back

River Run Review

Couuse was OK for this time of year but leaves were everywhere. On greens, fairways, rouge, etc. almost impossible to find your ball and some greens were unputtable. Why not have a leave blower? Not worth the money paid.

Good design. Short holes have some tricky white and long holes are challenging.
Always fun to play there.
