Bayside Resort Golf Club
About
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.

Place is amazing. Greens are tough, Hit the short grass makes it easy to shoot at pins.
A must play
Range closed and food options/water/beverage cart limited.
You know the course is beautiful and challenging. This was a given. It was a great day for golf. But to arrive an hour early and to not be informed ahead of time that the range is closed is a problem for me. Too tough a course to not have an opportunity to warm up and a waste of 45 minutes at the course.
Also - the grill at the turn was closed after the staff told us they were open and there were no water coolers to be found during the last 5 holes until 18. No beverage or snack cart available either and it was a muggy 90+ degrees outside.
The staff did get someone out to us, but that seems like a pretty inefficient business model (but it was appreciated).
Beautiful course - needs some work on the hospitality side of things.
Water course
I'll know where to place my shots next time. Lost several balls in the water. Fairways in good shape. Greens roll true. Good day out. I would recommend.
Expensive but worth a treat
Paid $145 on holiday. No GPS. grass range, challenging course. Tricky for first time, generous fairways and undulating greens. few forced carries. greens in great shape.
PERFECT
I was a single and they paired me with a member and got us out 10 min early. I was striking the ball very well which helped me to enjoy this course to the fullest - it is a ball placement course not a distance course. hazards are placed on numerous fairways however, if you hit where you aim you should be able to manage the course and score. Everything is GREAT shape. greens are challenging so you better know how to putt.
Make sure you stay on fairway.
As long as you hit them straight, you'll be fine, otherwise bring extra balls.
Great experience
Liked the course, friendly staff and friendly players with good pace and respect for others. Course is quite difficult but playable for people who can hit decent. fast green
Great Deal
When you can get a Hot Deal it makes everything better.
First day of Spring , no wind and sunny, mid50's was a good day to get some of the rust of the ol swing.
You really need the yardage book for this target course.
Would be a little easier if it's not car path only wet.
Cold and windy but lived the challenge
What a layout. Very challenging course and one with alot of beautiful scenery. It was 42 the day I played with winds 15-20 and did that make it tough. Love the 5 sets of tee boxes. Allot of long carries if playing from the tips. Course was in great shape for the time of year I played it. Glad I braved the cold and wind it was well worth it
Typical Jack Nicklaus Course
Lots of bunkers and artificial undulations, i.e.., bumps/moguls) in the fairways. A good selection of tee boxes to suit a variety of players. Plenty of water that comes into play but with good course management it can be avoided. A number of the greens were crowned and could cause one some grief if you rolled off.
gorgeous challenge
Was first out in the afternoon following a tournament so had the course to myself. The weather was beautiful and the course superb. A nice Nicklaus challenge, well maintained, beautiful scenery, impeccable greens. Only blemishes that keep me from giving them all excellent rating were the cart guys failed to start the GPS for me and no one mentioned pin position so it took a few holes to figure those things out. Likely will give them another crack at it when back in the area. Great food in the Cove restaurant; very friendly staff there as well.
1 thing bad everything else good
This course was great. Didn't realize how many bunkers there were until i found out!!!! Water on every hole (clear water BTW)!!! Fairways were in excellent condition. Greens in great shape.
The only thing that i didn't like was it was cart path only from the previous night. Walking all over the place. Could have been 90 degree cart path rule.
All the holes are beautiful!!!!
Golf in Maryland & Delaware once a year and it is always a great experience
Beautiful golf course
The holes at bayside are layed out beautifully !!! It is a very challenging round of golf for any skill level,
We'll maintained and just a pleasure to play !!! Enjoyed it greatly thank you
Bayside a Great course
Jack did an outstanding job on this layout. Definitely will play again.
Dale Ledbetter
Excellent experience, quality facility and very challenging golf course. Course offers plenty of challenge for all skill levels, very important to play the approriate tee's
Perfect
Had a noon tee time and went out early. Son who is 15 was half price. Had the course to ourselves which was in fantastic shape and played in under 4 hours. Bayside is an awesome track and a must play when in this area.
Best at the Beach!
I was amazed by the beauty of Bayside from the first tee till my last putt on 18. If you have your driver working, you can score well. If not, you'll be taking plenty of drops as there are hazards on every hole. There was no hole on the course that looked the same or that I disliked. As long as you pick the correct lines, you can rip driver on every hole. The true links layout is refreshing and rare for this side of the pond. Conditions were pristine and the greens were rolling pure at a good speed. I cannot wait to play this course again!
Phenomenal
Course was spectacular from hole 1 to hole 18. Layout is great! Greens rolled phenomenal and don't underestimate the value of the GPS on the carts here. Easily helped save 5 strokes on the day.
Perfect conditions made a perfect day
This was a more difficult course than I would normally play.
I found the fairways and greens in great shape and liked the speed of the conditions.
