About this course

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.

Getting there

Most visitors to Ocean City Golf & Yacht arrive through Salisbury-Ocean City Wicomico Regional Airport, a compact gateway roughly twenty minutes west of the club, though Baltimore-Washington International and Philadelphia International serve those preferring broader connections and a two-to-three-hour scenic drive across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge or down through Delaware's coastal plain. The final stretch along Route 50 transitions from farmland and pine stands into the low-lying marshes and tidal inlets that define Maryland's Eastern Shore, before turning onto the club's discreet entrance just inland from the resort bustle of Ocean City proper. The arrival is understated and serene, a quiet counterpoint to the nearby boardwalk energy, where manicured fairways meet the salt air and the promise of both links golf and deepwater slips.
