Ocean City Golf

[armyone22]

Long time reader, first time poster. I'm taking a family trip to Deleware/Ocean City area in two weeks and have been trying to decide on which courses I want to play. I've only been playing for two years and will be playing as a single. I can hit the ball okay but don't have much consistency yet so I'm looking for courses that have some open holes. I've read through a lot of the posts on here and none of them are to recent so I figured I'd start a new thread. At this point I'm hoping to play three to four rounds. The course I'm considering are Baywood greens, Rum Pointe, Glenn Riddle Man O' War, and The Links at Lighthouse sound. Are there any condition issues with these courses, or are any of them tight and slopey?

Baywood might be a little wet and chewed up given the weather we've had and the number of rounds. Pretty layout still, and some tight and some open holes.
Rum Pointe, fairly open, and in great shape. Resort style course with big fairways and greens. You should enjoy this one!!! Just bring bug spray.
ManO'War, can be tight, and a little gimmicky, but not bad. Greens are typically in great shape.
Lighthouse I love, but can be skinny on some fairways. If you feel like paying to play it, enjoy the round and surroundings; ignore your errant shots and enjoy the day.
Newport Bay at OC is a decent one. They have a few minor spots that got swamped with Sandy that haven't fully come back, but it's getting there.
Eagles Landing is a fun open course that is right in front of you for the most part. Enjoyable layout and fun.

I'll be heading out there this weekend as well but I'm going to play one of my favorites (not in OC proper, in town of Berlin): RIVER RUN Golf COurse. Great challenge, typically amazing greens and just a real pretty track

river run is a great course for kids. i could take my 2 kids under 14 plus me for 80 bucks...with 2 carts, mife would drive the 2nd and look at the houses...never thought the course was anything special but it is solid.

the lighthouse is a great course - hope the wind is down or it can be real tough. ocean pines is actually decent track as well i like it bettter then river run but to each his own i guess.

Ocean Pines has brand spanking new greens on all 18. As of a few weeks ago, they were setting in quite nicely. With the heat and rain lately, not sure how they have fared versus some of the others around here. (They have been spongy, and getting a lot of ball marks, plus the heat is wearing on them...) But OP is tight. No spraying the ball there.

How about tee times should I book in advance or wait to see what the weather does

check golf now when it gets closer. but you could make a tee time, while checking on their cancellation policy. weather dependent, just cancel day before if you have to.
