The Links At Lighthouse Sound

I can’t say enough about the Links at Lighthouse Sound. The bartenders have always been friendly and professional and the food is always amazing. Jerry, Michelle, and Shelly are incredible. I make it a point to stop at Lighthouse Sound whenever I’m in town.

Tee off @ 1:40…Finished @ around 7… Pace of play was terrible. We has a 5some in front of us. Had to keep picking up clubs from the group ahead of us the whole back 9. Rangers would not move the Slow player 4some ahead of them… I’m sure there was heavy play but come on… at least we had the Blue Angels flying around for the OC air Show… We still had a blast. Great course! Club House Staff was fantastic. Met one of owners (Audubon Co-​op) the next day @ War Admiral… he was very gracious.

Why not 5 stars? Price and not walkable, period. The days of $ 100 plus greens fees should be over, played in afternoon to save and my experience was probably better than the dew sweepers, 3 hrs and 35 min around without ever feeling rushed.
Practice area, chipping green and putting green, great. The guys are very nice here and locals, so ask them where to eat in town, etc.
greens are good, not lightning fast, but you aren’t as good as you think anyway. I’m begging you to play the correct tees! Think about what you HONESTLY card on your home course and apply that to this one. There is no shame in moving forward, I played golds because that’s about 142 minus my handicap. If you are forward of that, it’s not an ego thing, it’s about having fun!
If you are all about smoking cigars and betting with your buddies and playing the tips, I want to be no where near your group. Hitting ONE drive on the screws for 280 does not make you Bubba.
Sorry the rant, the course is well worth your effort to go out and play it!

Me and my dad started golfing on our annual visit to OC for 4 years now, 3 out of those 4 years we have played lighthouse sound. We did try one other course which did not even compare to this place, Lighthouse sound is a first class operation from every aspect of there business. People are curteous from the wait staff, bartenders, golf pros and assistants, Alot of people say its too expensve, but they have never experienced a course like this. As much as we say every year that we should try another course, we keep coming back to Lighthouse Sound and I dont think we will quit.
If you haven’t golfed in OC, make this place #1 on your list, it has been rated #79 out of the top 100 courses in the country. I can not wait till next year to go back again!!!

This is a world class place I was down there with my 11 friends and played there amazing course. They took such good care of us before and after our round at the bar. The manager bought us a drink before and after our round. I can’t say enough about our experience. I can’t say the same about my score.

My friend had her wedding here and it was the perfect venue for the event.
We did get super lucky with the Indian Summer weather. However, weather aside (and yes, it was perfect), they have a gazebo set-​up a little off the golf course and near the water that perfectly suits a small-​to-​medium crowd. The noise level is quiet for ceremonies. The scenery is beautiful on the grounds and it has a perfect view of Ocean City.
Their staff is very attentive and the kitchen makes some amazing crab cakes. Then again, you probably have to prove that you make good crab cakes if you want a business permit in Maryland!
I don’t golf, but it’s a good place for a wedding. And that’s a lot coming from someone who’s a bigger fan of eloping than of elaborate wedding ceremonies.

Great course in great condition as of 7÷3÷2010.
Even with the drought they were able to keep the fairways and greens very well watered.
This was the second or third day of my crews golf trip out in OC so we were pretty banged up due to prior evenings festivities. If you like a spicy bloody marry make sure to bring those miniature Tabasco bottles cause they be weak here. I’m pretty sure it was here anyways. It was one hell of a weak lots of black spots. Anyways the bloody tasted like old tomato soup.
As for the actual course if you haven’t been you must go. Out of all the courses we played that week Rum Pointe, Ocean Pines, Man ‘O War, Bear-​trap Dunes, and Jolly Rogers amusement park this was my second best. Rum Pointe is just ridiculous. You thought my favorite was Jolly Rogers didn’t ya? My buddy threw up in a parrot there so the experience lost some points because of that.
It has some of the better views and is managed well so the game progressed quickly (relatively) even though the course was packed.
