OCEAN CITY GOLF & YACHT
🇺🇸 Berlin, MD, USA
Designed by Bill Gordon, David Gordon


Ocean City Golf & Yacht Club's Seaside course sits in Berlin, Maryland, a few miles inland from the Atlantic coast resort of Ocean City. Designed by Bill Gordon and David Gordon, the course serves a club that caters to the seasonal vacation community and year-round residents of Maryland's Eastern Shore. The Gordons, a father-son team active in mid-Atlantic golf course design during the latter decades of the twentieth century, created a layout that works with the flat to gently rolling terrain characteristic of the Delmarva Peninsula.
The course reflects the practical design sensibilities common to resort-area facilities, where playability for a wide range of visitors takes precedence over championship severity. The routing likely incorporates water features—ponds or drainage corridors—that are typical of low-elevation coastal plain sites, along with tree-lined fairways that provide definition and strategic interest. Bermuda grass surfaces are standard for this climate, offering durability through the warm months when play peaks.
Ocean City Golf & Yacht Club operates as part of the broader recreational infrastructure supporting one of the Mid-Atlantic's established beach destinations. The club provides a golf option for families and groups whose primary focus is the nearby ocean but who seek variety during their stay. The Seaside course functions as a straightforward, accessible layout suited to its role in a vacation-oriented market, where ease of pace and pleasant conditions matter as much as design complexity.
