About this course
The Man O'War course at Glen Riddle Golf Club in Berlin, Maryland, represents one of two championship layouts at this facility, designed by Joel Weiman. The course takes its name from the legendary racehorse Man O'War, reflecting the property's historical connection to the Riddle family and their thoroughbred racing heritage. The club sits in Maryland's coastal plain region, roughly ten miles inland from Ocean City, where the flat to gently rolling terrain characteristic of the Delmarva Peninsula shapes the golf experience. Weiman's design works within this landscape to create a layout that emphasizes strategic positioning and course management over dramatic elevation changes. The routing typically incorporates natural wetlands and wooded corridors that define holes and frame playing corridors. Water features and waste areas come into play on several holes, requiring golfers to make thoughtful decisions from the tee and on approach shots. The course serves both resort guests and members, offering a test suitable for a range of skill levels while maintaining championship length from the back tees. Glen Riddle operates as part of the region's golf destination market, drawing visitors to the Ocean City area who seek quality daily-fee golf in a setting removed from the immediate beachfront congestion. The Man O'War course complements its companion layout, providing variety for multi-round stays. The facility includes practice areas and clubhouse amenities typical of modern golf resorts in the mid-Atlantic region.

Getting there
Glen Riddle Golf Club sits on Maryland's Eastern Shore, most readily accessed via Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) or Norfolk International (ORF), each roughly ninety minutes away by car through the flat, maritime landscape of the Delmarva Peninsula. The drive from either hub carries you south through working farmland and tidal marshes, a gradual descent into the quiet rhythms of the Shore where the air itself seems to slow. Private aviation finds its closest perch at nearby regional strips, though the club's relative seclusion - nestled among the creeks and waterways that define this corner of the Chesapeake watershed - is precisely the point: arrival at Glen Riddle marks a deliberate departure from the bustle of the Mid-Atlantic corridor into a world of unhurried elegance and championship golf.
