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.

FANTASTIC!

Phenominal golf course. Very challenging, but very playable, forcing you to make shots. Filled with risk-reward options and various ways to play most holes. Conditions were fantastic, with true, quick greens.

Beautiful course

The course is beautiful. I have played it several times. However, the pace of play was so poor we walked off the course after the 15th hole. At that time we were almost 1 hour behind pace of play. A large group in front of us was playing from tees beyond their imagination, waiting for the greens to clear and proceeded to hockey puck their way to the green.

Very challenging with scenic views.

Great course that is very challenging with great views. Greens are always very quick and the staff is always very friendly. I have played there several times and will continue to play there when I get the chance.

Wish we knew

Didn't know the course had recently been aerated. Greens were extremely bumpy causing the ball to bounce off course AND it was cart path only. This is a brutal course to play cart path. Would have been a much more pleasant experience if the course had been in better shape

VERY DIFFICULT

Very nice course but almost to difficult to enjoy. there wasn't really any wind on the course that I felt but the ball went nowhere. the ground must have been really wet. the layout is about as difficult as I have played. Don't expect to have one of your better rounds on this course(bring a lot of balls) Seriously !

Great Value

I could not see paying regular rates for this course. Although it is a beautiful course with great views of north OC, I was able to play only because of the reduced rate. Keep it in the short grass and don't come up short to the greens and you will be fine.

The course was excellent, but they charged for range balls, despite the golfnow website stating that range balls were included.

A good test

LOT's of trouble to get into with water on most holes and over a hundred traps in all the places your ball wants to go.. Greens held very well and were reasonably fast and true. Scoring is possible if you hit it in the right spots. Fairway bunkers are killers though.
It's a beautiful layout with many very appealing looks.
I will definitely play it again.

This is likely the best course on the Delmarva Peninsula.

The golf course is challenging, but worth the beating it gives you! Conditions were excellent, the price for this particular round cannot be beat, and I'd play there every week if the price was the same.

great conditions... great challenge

Excellent layout with lots of challenge. Greens were excellent and was a nice value for 60 bucks on a hot deal. There are a lot of forced carries so bring some extra balls.

Challanging if you dont keep it in the fairway. Well maintainedand fun

4 th time vacationing here, by far best course that i have played in the area. The only thing that i did not like was the fact that the pro shop was closed when we got done (7:15) and we did not get to purchase anything.

Great, challenging course!

We played a family foursome, father and three sons, all who are beginner to mid level play and while the course was challenging as expected we all were able to have many great shots and some that became a learning experience for continuous improvement.
The course was very well maintained and the atmosphere was very enjoyable for all. We will play again when on vacation. Very reasonable rates from booking at GolfNow.

Course great, staff not so much

Got a hot deal for this course, unbeatable deal for the money. Course in immaculate condition and very challenging. Must know the layout to score!

Staff dismissive to the point they seemed very disappointed that we got such a good deal on golfnow. Seemed extremely upset about it! Also, deal included range balls, the course refused to honor!

Excellent course, staff can take a hike!

Some areas had bad mold issue. not especially visually appealing

Staff told us about the mold and damaged ares - they were pretty honest about its expanse. moderate to easy set up, water and sand not hard to avoid.

Tricky until you get to know it.

Enjoyable round of golf. Need to pay close attention to the GPS as there are several holes where driver should stay in the bag and placement is critical but not clear from the tee.
the staff was very friendly and the pace of play was very good once the slow foursome in front of us quit after nine.
Will gladly go back and play Bayside again.

Jack Golf

This course is near Ocean CIty,MD beach resort, but make no mistake, it is a true Jack Nicklaus design- pristine conditions -huge greens but you must hit certain small areas on each green or your score will soar. Jack wants golfers to make shots like he did, most don't have his game. Very challenging, scenic course.

Nice Challenging Track

Plenty of wind and some chilly weather had me using lots of layers. Beware, if the wind is blowing in off the ocean, this course will wear you down. Pretty challenging layout, so don't get too adventurous or you'll put up a few big numbers. Nice mix of trees, water, and marsh. plenty of well place bunkers along with the wind make club selection important. Would love to get back here and play on a warm, sunny day. Well maintained and nice to look at. Staff was great.
