No complaints on the course, excellent condition, very enjoyable layout. This was our second trip and one thing has been consistent: The rangers on the course are RUDE and constantly want to hurry you along regardless if you are on time or ahead of time. Case in point, on the first hole one of our players hit it right in the desert and hit a provisional ball fairly quickly. The Ranger had a fit because he hit a provisional. We are scratch golfers and play by the rules in order to have a valid score. He chewed us out over the provisional, ON the FIRST HOLE no less! And I guess we got on their naughty list after that because they were harrassing us the whole way around, even though we ended up playing in 3:50, way under time par!!! You have to be VERY FAST players to play here, or if you aren't be prepared to skip shots or even holes because the rangers will be on you the whole way around, regardless if you are ahead of time or not.

Anyway, that is the reason for my low rating....the RUDENESS of the rangers, not the course.

We've played Ocean Pines several times in the past. The layout is good and course conditions in the past have been average to good. However, after a 2 year absence we came back and the course conditions are somewhere between terrible and horrific. The rough is so high you can't find your ball unless you know almost exactly where it went. The greens were slow, bumpy, and awful. Bunkers were not raked. We were extremely disappointed. For a course that we always enjoyed playing previously, I don''t believe we will be back. I am surprised other reviews do not reflect the same sentiment. It was bad.
