Ocean City was once known as a beach destination, with a golf course or two on the side. Today, some say it’s the opposite—a golf destination, with a beach or two on the side. Whatever you call it, Ocean City is one of the fastest growing golfing destinations on the East Coast, and it’s the place to go for year-round championship golf in a region full of exciting attractions and natural beauty.
The scenic area surrounding Ocean City is just the starting point for great golf. Legendary players and course designers like Jack Nicklaus, Robert Trent Jones, Arthur Hills and Pete and P.B. Dye all lent their expertise to more than 17 championship courses in the area. They’ve created magnificent courses with lush fairways surrounded by marshes, forests and inland waters. Some offer stunning views of the Atlantic Coastal Waterways.
A wide range of difficulties ensure every golfer—from casual to pro—can find their ideal course. Enjoy a leisurely afternoon game or challenge distinctive fairways, pot bunkers and sand dunes and the ever-present East Coast winds.
Ocean City is also the best place to accommodate a range of prices for every golfer. The area continues to be a destination where the average golfer can plan an outing without having to pay outrageous greens fees. Plus, the host of courses available provides the flexibility to accommodate every golfer’s spending point, from the penny-wise putter to the copious competitor.
With some of the greatest selections of luxury or economy accommodations around, you’ll get a good night’s sleep and be energized for a brand new game in the morning. Many hotels even offer complete golfing packages, allowing you the privilege of trying out several different ranges or courses at various locations, rather than playing the same course over and over. Plus, many packages may include free club cleaning and storage, breakfast, lunch and beverage vouchers, complimentary golf towels, tees, ball markers and guaranteed preferred advanced tee times.
Another reason Ocean City is the top vacation destination is because it offers plenty of amenities for the golfer and plenty of fun activities the whole family can enjoy. Some of the area’s top hotels provide heated pools, amusements within the hotel, deluxe fitness centers, game rooms and, of course, the endless hours of enjoyment supplied by the various beaches.
