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. 

In my bag:
Driver-- PING G2 8.5 deg.
Hybrid-- PING G5 19 deg.
Irons 4-UW-- Ping i20
Wedges Vokey Sand 54, and Lob 60 Putter--:Maxfli: C3 Mallet Putter

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By DeadMan · Posted

      Day 16: range night! Worked on long game for about 40 minutes, with a good solid 20 minute focus on my priority piece. Things improving there. Bookended that with some wedge and driver work. Finished up with about 30 minutes of short game. Working on distance control and all types of shots and lies. Short game is probably as good as it has ever been.

      Edel Putter Grip and Rattle

      By iacas · Posted

      You should be able to install it yourself, honestly. You could easily blow it on and use some one-sided duct tape or something so it stays in place. That's what I've done with one of my grips.

      Edel Putter Grip and Rattle

      By Shindig · Posted

      Hi all, My Edel putter seems to have developed a rattle.  I don't think it's a big deal, as I mostly hear it when I'm tapping down ball marks on greens.  However, I am debating getting it fixed, especially as I intend to play a lot of golf in August and September, and to continue playing regularly after that of course too.  My issue is I think fixing it would entail the fixer (golf shop repair station?) removing the grip and, presumably, applying a new one.  My problem is two-fold.   First, I like the grip on it, although after eleven years, maybe it's worth replacing.   The bigger (second) issue is getting the grip.  I don't like the flat-fronted putter grips anymore.  I have the round one on my putter, and I suppose I could buy one from Edel's website, but would a golf shop install a grip I bought elsewhere and brought in?  Or could they order one if Edel is not a supplier of theirs?  I don't recall ever seeing any Edel products in a Roger Dunn or PGA Superstore, although the era when I would go to a store and browse has long since ended (for better or worse).  I'd also wonder what the timetable is, as I'm leaving for a seven week trip in under three weeks. Any suggestions on what to do would be very welcome, whether about the rattle or the grip, together or independently.  Thank you!

      Gauging Wind

      By Shindig · Posted

      I'm glad to know that picking up grass and letting it go doesn't help.  It felt like it shouldn't, but I'm glad to hear there's a good reason why.  It makes sense that wind is different higher up than it is near the surface. For a while, I was in the habit of checking the prevailing wind direction before playing.  That helped if I wasn't sure.  However, I still am not really sure whether something is a 5% wind or a 10% wind (and, of course, I know that a "helping" wind helps about half as much as the same wind hurting).   One of these days, I'll learn how to figure out what to do differently if the prevailing wind is 10mph vs 20 mph.
