Ocean City Golf Courses
"Ocean City Golf Courses" is a bit of a misnomer because there aren't actually any golf courses in Ocean City, Maryland (outside of the miniature variety). The small amount of land available on the city's barrier island is just too valuable to devote to golf courses. But it's only a short drive to the mainland where developers have taken advantage of the abundance of farmland and woodlands to create an excellent group of courses for golfers of all abilities. Most of the courses in the Ocean City area are near the town of Berlin, Maryland and several are close enough to the coast that they offer views of the Ocean City skyline.
A smaller, but growing, group of golf courses can also be found just a few miles north across the Maryland/Delaware border. They're all a manageable drive from Ocean City and even more convenient to Fenwick Island, Bethany Beach and Rehobeth Beach.

The 27 holes at The Beach Club Golf Links offers high-quality golf at a less-than-outrageous price. The combination of the Sand and Surf nines is the most popular, stretching to a little over 7,000 yards from the tips. The Sun course is equally enjoyable for all golfers.
