Slope 148
Rating 76.4

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.

Excellent Course

One of the best courses I've played, with respect to the natural environment it was created in. Beautiful marsh setting with glimpses of the bay and the typical array of bunkers and water obstacles you expect to find on a Troon designed course.

Worst Mother's Day!

Let me start by saying everyone from the starters to the bar manager where very sympathetic to these issued and did everything they could to help. The manager/golf pro was a pompous jerk and it seemed beneath him to have to address these issues or help in any way. 1st it took over a half hour to figure out how to ring up the golf now discount price. 2nd no GPS! They are suppose to have it. Third when I asked for a pin placement sheet the golf pro said no one has asked for a pin sheet since Jim Furyk played there! He did however bring me a pin sheet then explain to me it was the hardest course I will ever play and to just shoot for the middle of the green. Then there was only water on the 12th hole to drink. No beverage kart. And the snack shack was closed at the turn. I tried to buy a drink out of the vending machine and it took my money! This place was not prepared to do any business other then handle its members. I will spend 150 bucks somewhere else next time. Hey starter thanks for the POWERADE when I am back in town in August I will take you to play somewhere else if you want.

I played the course and the pro gave me the same tip I am aimed for the center of the greens and had the best round I ever had.

Just a fantastic coure

From the minute you drive in you know you are in for a treat. The course was in excellent shape and the greens were very fast but rolling true. Very challenging course with tons of water and sand that our group had no problem finding. Somehow teed off at 8:30 and didn't see a soul all day - amazing! Staff was very nice and the clubhouse grille is great.

Wow

Went in with no expectations - and loved the course. Course was in great condition for this time of year.
Played 27 holes with the replay rate of $15 for 9 and $20 for 18 - can't beat that. The multiple tees options are great as well.
Will definitely be back sometime this summer.
Loved the finishing hole. Outside staff was no overly helpful with information but that was the only negative part.

Great Course and Great Staff

I booked my tee time for the wrong day, and they were extremely understanding and accommodating. They told me they could probably get me out in 2 hours due to a scramble and then worked hard to get me and my friend out in 20 minutes. We had the whole course to ourselves, it was beautiful but challenging. Good amount of sand and water, but the greens rolled nicely and we had a blast. They had tees set up for every type of player, it could play 7400 or 5600. Would definitely play again.

Awesome course

I played after some big rain came through and conditions were still good. Played via golfnow and got a great rate so the price was good. There are water views on pretty much every hole. Certainly one of the best courses in the OC/DE area.

Great off season value -- but do in season as well

I have played Bayside multiple times and never get tired of it. In the off season, they offer a great value and definitely a place to try at a very affordable rate. Conditions are still immaculate, staff is great, and the course is a true challenge. Don't miss the off season opportunity to play one of the top 100 courses.

Bayside Resort Golf Course, Selbyville, De.

I have played this course several times before, and love it. At the golfnow rate, it's a top ten ever deal. Got paired with a "local" who was a hoot...lots of laughs. Bonus day of late October just made it even greater. Thanks for the wonderful Bayside experience!

Excellent Course...No "Gimme" Holes Here!

Bayside Resort is a wonderfully laid out tract that offers challenges a-plenty. Fairway bunkers come into play on practically every hole as does water hazards. Definately intimidated by the Par 5 second hole with long water on the right so I left the driver in the bag. Probably most challenging were the greens! Undulation abounds and they were very quick. You will need extra balls at Bayside. Staff was stellar and I was humbled when the score card tallied 47/44 (91). Great course but you better be tactful with every shot!
