Bayside Resort Golf Club, Selbyville, Delaware - A Jack Nicklaus Signature Design, and a Unique Golfing Experience Rarely Found on One Course

Bayside Resort Golf Club is a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, integrated with the Bayside wetlands and woodlands to preserve them in their natural state. The course surrounds the community and also offers beautiful views of Assawoman Bay and the coastline.

The 18-hole championship course plays to a brawny 7,545 yards from the tips, and features tees for golfers of all skill levels. The course includes a mixture of playing conditions and topography, playing from salt marshes to meadows to woodlands. Such a combination is rarely found on any one golf course, making Bayside Resort a truly unique golfing experience.

There is water present on every hole, whether by strategic design or the natural wetlands and marshes, where it's not uncommon to see heron and egrets. The meadow holes are open and inviting, with generous fairways in which to place a tee shot. On woodland holes, majestic pines, black cherries and flowering dogwoods line the fairways, giving the course a serene look and feel.

All fairways feature a seaside blend grass, while the rough is a challenging combination of Tall Fescues and Blue Grass. Once golfers reach the greens, they'll encounter tightly manicured A-series Bentgrass greens.

Some of the more noteworthy holes include #2, #10 and #13. Hole #2 is a "bear'' of a par five (620 yards from the back tee) - a double-dogleg adventure that begins with a long tee shot to a fairway bordered by a lake on the right and Roy Creek on the left.

Hole #10 is a beautiful par-four, which makes golfers choose which side of a lone tree in the fairway they wish to target off the tee. And hole #13 is a par-three that features a pristine salt marsh that surrounds the green, while towering pine trees provide a stunning and dramatic contrast in the background.

Bayside Golf Course has received numerous awards and honors, including: America's Best Courses You Can Play, #1 course in Delaware, Golfweek 2008, 2007 & 2006; Top 50 Best Courses Opened 2005 - 2007, Golfweek 2007; Top 10 Best New Courses, Golf Digest 2006; Top 50 Best New Courses, Golfweek 2006; and Development of the Year, Runner-Up, Golf Inc. Magazine, Nov. 2006.

For practice, the course offers a driving range, putting and chipping greens. There's also a pro shop for equipment and apparel. And for drinks and dining before or after a round, the Oasis Grille provides a relaxing break.
