About this course
Ocean Resorts Golf Club's Oceans course sits in Berlin, Maryland, a small town roughly six miles inland from Ocean City on the Delmarva Peninsula. Designed by Larry Jones, the layout occupies terrain typical of Maryland's Eastern Shore—relatively flat coastal plain with modest elevation changes, stands of pine and hardwood, and the occasional wetland or water feature threading through the property. The setting reflects the transition zone between the Atlantic beaches to the east and the agricultural interior, with a landscape shaped by sandy soils and the region's maritime climate. Jones, a regional architect active primarily in the Mid-Atlantic, worked on several courses in Maryland and neighboring states during the latter decades of the twentieth century. His designs generally emphasize playability for resort and daily-fee golfers, with straightforward routing and hazards that frame rather than severely punish. At Oceans, the course likely follows this approach, offering a mix of open and tree-lined holes with water hazards and bunkers positioned to define landing areas and green complexes without overwhelming mid- to high-handicap players. Berlin's proximity to Ocean City means the course serves both vacationing golfers and local residents. The area's golf market grew substantially from the 1980s onward as the beach resort expanded, and courses like Oceans became part of the broader network of accessible layouts catering to seasonal and year-round play. The experience is typical of Eastern Shore golf: manageable terrain, coastal breezes, and a relaxed pace suited to recreational rounds.

Getting there
Ocean Resorts Golf Club lies just inland from the Maryland coast, most easily accessed via Salisbury-Ocean City Wicomico Regional Airport, roughly thirty minutes west, though many travelers opt for the larger Philadelphia International or Baltimore/Washington International and embrace the two-and-a-half-hour drive across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and down through the Eastern Shore's flat, agricultural expanse. The final miles peel away from the bustle of Ocean City's boardwalk corridor, turning west into Berlin's quieter, tree-lined streets where the landscape opens into the kind of serene, purpose-built golf sanctuary that feels a world apart from the summer beach traffic just beyond the pines. It's an arrival that trades salt air for fairway calm, positioning you at one of the Mid-Atlantic's more polished modern golf addresses.
