Has anyone booked a 4 some weekend trip to Ocean City Maryland? Did you use any of the trip planners such as Pams to do so? I have never booked or gone on a golf vacation before and would love some tips. Would be looking to go in Mid April possibly early may. 4 golfers who are looking to play at least 3 rounds and stay the weekend. Friday, Saturday and a round before we head home. We would be driving from NY. Nice hotel and or condo good meals and night life.

I went last summer with three friends. I can't really help you on the non-golf stuff - we stayed in an AirBnB and it not much of the nightlife stuff was open. For golf, we played once on the drive down in Newark, Delaware, then in Ocean City we played the Links at Lighthouse Sound and Eagle's Landing. 

Links at Lighthouse Sound was really cool. Right on the water, great views, lots of variety. Eagles Landing was also cool, but around the 8th hole it started torrentially downpouring. We didn't have anything better to do so we stuck it out for a few more holes, but by the time we got to the 11th the entire course was saturated. (I actually half expected the guys in the pro shop to be mad at us for still trying to play in the rain, maybe they thought we would rip the course up or something, but they actually got a kick out of it and gave us rain checks.) Anyway, the first 11 holes we fun. 

When I was researching the area, those were the two places that stuck out to me, but it did seem like there was a good amount of decent golf nearby.

Thanks for the response. Night life not a big deal, with covid and all. I am looking more for the golf and place to stay close to the courses all in Ocean City.

I live in the area and have played all the courses multiple times.  As far as places to stay I wouldn't worry about where you stay so much as looking for the best deal. You might price out your own trip; lots of off-season hotel deals. A good central location to stay would be Bethany Beach, DE; not far from OC.

Check out Ruark Golf - manages Links at Lighthouse Sound, Rum Pointe, and 36 holes at Glen Riddle. They also have packages:

Ruark Golf offers the best golf courses in Ocean City Maryland. Enjoy playing championship courses Links at Lighthouse Sound, Rum Pointe, GlenRiddle & More!

 

If coming from NY you might consider driving to Atlantic City, playing 1 round there , then catching the Ferry to Delaware. Three great choices for golf: Atlantic City CC; Twisted Dunes; Seaview Resort-Bay Course (Ross design - home of LPGA event). You could also play here on the way home. 

In Delaware you have Bear Trap Dunes, Bayside Resort, Baywood Greens, Plantation Lakes - all accessible to non-members. All worthy of playing.

If you need additional information feel free to contact me for Restaurant options etc.

Until 2020, my group of twelve or so has made the trip to OCMD for an extended weekend of golf (and beer) lol.

I used to book everything myself using travel websites, etc....   then a buddy recommended RUARK golf. 

Make the call. It will end up being cheaper than anything you could find on your own and they have access to booking any course for you in OCMD. And it is SOOO much easier.

RUM Pointe is the crown jewel (but most pricey), followed closely by Lighthouse Sound.

      The putting green itself is fine. It's the same green we have here. They just need to learn how to chip "into" the grain instead of just down-grain all the time. You have to hit it solid. The launch monitors and the simulator software are garbage right now. Nobody wants to say anything bad about the LMs because Tiger is a partial owner or something. The software has 3Ws stopping in ten feet on the green, and balls bouncing all of 11 yards after flying 311 in the fairways.

      Although fun to watch on a winter night, I don't think the simulation is anywhere near accurate. Watched Kevin Kisner hit a shot onto a green slope that would not roll back. When they got to that spot, they couldn't place a ball there without it rolling down the hill. Had to move to another location. The greens remind me of the pooltable-like surface of a Mini Golf course. Balls just take off and roll away. Chipping from off the green seems tricky on the surface they use. And what's with Tiger spitting during the round? It's an indoor carpet. Don't know why atheletes need to spit outdoors, let alone on an indoor carpet surface.

      Jumbomax's Grip Pressure & Impact on Range of Motion

      By saevel25 ·

      Maybe this is what you were getting at?  Doing some math. Comparing JumboMax versus Tour Velvet, standard size in both.  I got the force required using the JumboMax grip, to achieve the same rotational acceleration as the Tour Velvet, is about 1.37 more for the JumboMax grip. Interestingly, the Jumbomax grip is about 17% larger than the Tour Velvet, and 17% lighter for the standard size. I just substituted out the radius and mass of the JumboMax as a ratio of the Tour Velvet's mass and radius. This allows me to cancel out the mass and radius and get a ratio for the force. If you need 100 (force units of your choice) to achieve a certain rotational acceleration, you will need 137 (force units of your choice).  There was another thread on the forum about offset, where it basically just delays closure by some stupidly small amount. A lot of fun math there.  Most golfers have to go from about 90 degrees open clubface at A4 to square at A7. So, having a grip that requires more force to close that clubface might not be the best idea pending the golf swing.  A question is, since the clubface is open at A4, and square at A7. Does that mean you want most of the closure to happen from A4 to let say A6, and not A6 to A7, for better consistently (less timing at impact). Just a thought.

      Dave's Journey With the Rules of Golf

      By DaveP043 ·

      This reminds me of the old game Telephone, where someone tells a story to someone, that person tells it to the next person, and after a few re-tellings you see how badly mangled the story gets.  Most golfers learn the rules in a similar fashion, learning from someone who really doesn't know the rules themselves.  This isn't really helped by the fact that many golf professionals aren't all that knowledgeable about the rules.  In addition, most golfers have been told that the Rules are SO complicated and SO difficult to read that they never try to read for themselves. Now, having vented a bit, is there anything in particular you'd like to read?
