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.

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.

Played in the Snow, Still Enjoyed It!

I played it with flurries falling and the wind blowing 20+ MPH. The course was an absolute bear. But a fantastic layout, and if you can get a "hot deal" price for it, you're robbing them. Can't wait to play in the summer.

Great savings on golfnow.com!

Great track

I took advantage of a Golfnow hot deal to play Bayside Resort and I was NOT disappointed! Fairways are bentgrass and were in terrific shape and same for the greens. Even tho it was offseason the majority of the course was cleared of leaves and kept in fine shape. One of the most difficult courses to play at the beach but a great test for any golfer bc of multiple tee boxes. Definitely recommend!

Nicklaus ! What else do you need to know !!!!!!

Course is always in good shape. Got it on a deal which was great. But there was nothing worse than getting stuck with a member and his little boy who had no clue,[just had clubs to call themselves golfers] Left us 3 holes behind by the time we were done. They could use a little more marshalling. Barely got the round in and we teed it up at noon. [Hard to keep a good game going when your watching that all day]. Great course albiet.
