Basic Information

Designed by golf legend Gary Player, this 250+ acre site is a riverfront picture of true beauty. The 6,705 yard course takes full advantage of the natural foliage and terrain and is located just 7 miles west of Ocean City. Each of the 18 holes presents its own challenge, working together to provide the most diverse and satisfying golf experience imaginable. River Run's 250 acre site has always been a riverfront picture of true beauty. Originally forest and farmland, it is now golf at its best. The developers vowed to ensure that the unspoiled nature of the land was protected and improved. That was the motivating factor behind the choice of golf legend Gary Player to design the centerpiece of River Run. Working hand in hand with the developer, Player created a magnificent 6,705 yard course that takes full advantage of the natural foliage and terrain. His experience in golf course design is rivaled only by his experience on the course itself. Player is one of only a handful of men to win golf's fabled Grand Slam. His level of skill shows in the thoughful, yet challenging way in which River Run is laid out. River Run is a varied golf course. The front nine is reminiscent of Scottish-type courses, with open, rolling, mounded fairways. The back side presents the challenge of driving tee shots down majestic, tree lined fairways and over natural marshes. Pristine white terns and egrets often comprise the gallery of spectators. River Run is playable, purposefully designed to permit the golfer to play Gary Player's bump and run game. Although the entire course is magnificent, the 9th and 18th holes offer spectacular views of the St. Martin River.
