Bayside Resort Golf Club has a scenic location overlooking Assawoman Bay. The club boasts one of the Ocean City area's only Jack Nicklaus-designed golf courses. The course stretches to a whopping 7,545 yards from the signature tees, offering plenty of holes for long hitters. Nicklaus created a tough test of golf that features a wide variety of holes. The natural wetlands and woodlands were not only carefully preserved but also incorporated into the course to provide interesting hazards. Although natural hazards abound, there are also several strategically placed bunkers lurking throughout the golf course. In addition to being a challenge, many of the holes also take advantage of the beautiful views of the coastline. It is a formidable but fair course that is made more approachable to different skill levels with four other sets of tees.

Great layout and very playable.

Great special thru Golfnow. Got the special with huge discount on a very interesting and well-maintained course. Unfortunately, there was a lot of rain recently and was path-only, which slowed the round. However, a great system of "Blended" tees, giving some "white" and some "blue" tees gave a nice yardage of 6100 and slope of 137 made the course very playable for my 17 handicap. Greens were fast and somewhat sloped, with collection areas that made for some interesting short shots. Staff was friendly, and restaurant menu looked good, proshop was well-stocked, so, all in all, a pleasant experience that I will try to repeat on my next visit to the area.

Very Challenging

If you spray the ball this course may not be for you. Lots of water and carry. Average golfers should stay on the white tees.

Great, difficult golf course. Regular green fees are very pricey.

Outstanding place to play golf, but this is a difficult golf course. Not appropriate for a high handicapper. Great value if one can play it for $75.00 or less.

Nice layout, but too difficult for the average golfer, even from the front tees.

The course is in great shape but is too difficult for the average golfer. The course needs more bailout areas, and the 2nd and 18th holes can ruin a good round with trouble on all sides.
