Bay Creek — Attraction in Cape Charles

I played the Nicklaus course yesterday, and wow, what an experience. The fairways are wide and long, the greens are well protected, and the views are amazing.

The opening hole is a straight shot, but hooking is penalized by a stand of trees. Once you reach the green, you head to hole #2 with water on the left. A slight fade works best on this hole. Hole 3 is a long par 5 with an elevated green. Play what you want, just hit it straight! Hole 4, a par 3, plays directly to the Chesapeake Bay. On #5, you tee off with water on each side. Aim for the trees and fade it onto the fairway. #6 is a short par 3 protected by a natural area on both sides. #7 plays true to length, but with water on the right it presents a challenge to a golfer who hits a fade (or a slice...). #8 is a nice par 4 with water on the right, a green protected by deep bunkers on each side, and water behind the green. A fade OR Draw work well here, although I'd aim to the water's edge and draw it back to the fairway.

The final hole, #9, is a par 5 with a wide fairway. There is water to the right off the tee, but beyond the water the fairway is as wide as you'd need. Place your second shot carefully, as there are bunkers protecting the landing area and green.

Bay Creek recently converted to a member-only course, but if you'd like to play it, book the Bay Creek Discovery Tour. It's a 3 day 2 night package that includes lodging, golf, spa services, a meal voucher, and a few...

We visited this resort in fell in love with it. We bought property here and that is where the love affair ended. The home owners association is horrible and nasty people. They sent their association dues to the wrong address. They clearly had the wrong address and we never got the bill and could prove it. They immediately obtained a lawyer and filed a suit in court. Once we did got the bill we paid it but didn't feel we should have to pay for lawyer fees and court cost. We requested to not pay these because it wasn't our error. But they demanded we pay those costs! We have paid them but because of their nastiness we sold the property and we will be filing our own law suit against them. It has been very stressful dealing with them. So if you happen to vacation there DON'T get caught up in their sale pitch!! RUN from that!! Heartbroken and disgruntled former Baycreek...

I was thoroughly impressed with Bay Creek Golf Course. I recently played a scramble there, and the experience was top-notch from start to finish. The staff was incredibly accommodating, greeting us warmly in the parking lot and ensuring everything went smoothly throughout our round. The 18-hole course was beautifully maintained, with stunning greens and breathtaking geography. We also had the opportunity to use the simulator, which was a fun addition. To top it off, lunch at the club was excellently prepared and absolutely delicious. I feel truly grateful for the experience and look forward to returning for another round....
