Very Disappointing

While the staff is very friendly the course was in poor condition. Sand traps were terrible. Soaking wet even though it had not rained in the last few days. The traps were rock hard and nearly impossible to play out from. Greens had not been rolled and the ball bounced around like it was rolling through a gravel parking lot. For the price of 120+ per person we expected something better. If we return to the area we will not be returning to this course.

First round with my son

Course was in good condition. Staff was friendly. Only criticism was that the scorecard didn’t include the layout of each hole. On holes where you couldn’t see the flag there was no way to know if and where the water was or where the green was located. We were just happy to be out of the house and on a course!

Great condition and excellent staff.

Course is well maintained and in pristine condition. Very scenic views of the bay, and abundant wildlife, including deer, fox, turkey and resident bald eagles.
Multiple sets of tees to match various levels of players.

Course damage

We have played this course the past few years. Very disappointed this year. Course suffered considerable damage and no one bothers to let you know in advance when scheduling via phone or during checking despite their high fees for the area. Fairways and Tee boxes in under par conditions. Areas around greens on some holes suspect. Construction in the area also and just not what one would expect for the price considering other courses we played in the area this week. Night and day conditions compared to last year at same time (Sept). Cart path only first four holes but damage is on other homes as well so no transparent on course damage to those not familiar with current status. Seems a discount would be appropriate given the damage and conditions. Bag drop and cart return staff were very personable. Overall, a very different experience from one year ago. Ask about conditions before booking given price. Consider Rum Point or Eagles Landing. Better conditions and price .

Poor condition

I've played this course many times and was shocked at what poor condition the course was in. The fairways were sloppy wet, the rough hadn't been mowed in weeks ( you couldn't find your ball a yard off the fairway) and the greens had been lightly punched. The bunkers were packed down and hadn't been raked.
We didn't see anyone working on the course the whole day. I am not sure if they have cut back on the staff or why there wasn't anyone working on the course.
Premium price for a course that no longer is in premium condition.

Great condition

A jack Nicklaus course. That is in amazing condition. It’s tough somplay the right tees. Some forced carries and weird layout holes I’d you don’t know course

Fabulous condition, good cart person and small shack on 11th hole. Highly recommend getting a late afternoon rate if you want to save a few
Dollars. Has a decent range too and a great bar at
The finish next to pro shop.

Slow play

Bayside, as usual, is worth the higher-than-average fees and is well maintained. However, our last round took over 5 hours. The three-some ahead of us was extremely slow. We saw NO on-course personnel whose job it was to help with such a situation. There is no need for a 5-hour round of golf.

What a challenge

Bring your game. Not an easy course for sure. It's one you start and you immediately realize game on. No let up until your back and done with the 18th. The three penny story is legend.

What a challenge

Not one of the easier courses to play. Well protected greens
Fairway bunkers ask you to think your shot through. Makes.for.a.great round of golf.to complete. Pack an extra.ball or two . The water features dont give much back.

Best Delmarva Shore Course

Every time I play this course, I fall in love with it all over again. The fairways are like perfect green carpet and the greens always roll perfectly. It kicks my butt every time and I keep coming back for more.

Great course but held back by a few small things

Great course layout, 6 tees to choose from, greens were lightning fast, fairways pristine, rough was deep due to recent rains, bunker sand was perfect consistency. There were a few things missing that I expect from a course charging this much. Firstly, there is no GPS on the carts. This helps speed play by not having to mess with an app on your phone or shoot distances with a range finder. Secondly, they do not offer unlimited range balls but instead give you a bag of 20. That’s just not enough to warm up with, IMO. They also don’t need offer senior discounts and their junior rates are 15 & under.
For a Nicklaus designed course charging >$100 a round, these 2 things are why I knocked it down a star.

Beautiful course, great condition

Wonderful day at this course. Started late because of a tournament that was finishing up. Weather cooperated.

Very difficult first 2 opening holes, otherwise difficult but manageable. You have to play smart and not attempt too many forced carries. There is always room for bailout instead of making hero shots. Greens were a little on the slow side, but true.

Bayside Resort

The course is in phenomenal condition right now. Greens are quick and responsive, fairways are soft and in good shape and the staff was very friendly. I will be playing this course again in the near future. I think it is either better or just as good as Baywood Greens. Both courses are fantastic

Course in Great Shape-Pace Poor and Rangers not doing job

Played this afternoon as won’t play Fathers Day weekend. Course in very good condition. Please remember this is a DIFFICULT Nicklaus design. Play off the proper tee and if high handicapper bring enough golf balls as a lot of water and forced carries. The front 9 went well until we caught up with a group that was LOUD, OBNOXIOUS and DRUNK! Literally stagginering on course and in the parking lot afterward. They help us up the entire back 9 making it 245-300 hours. Could get no rhythm as we waited literally on every shot. The greens fees are faiirly steep, thus the reason I rated this LOW value for my $$. If it was a 3:45 Total round that would have been much better. THe Rangers non-existent to push along or better yet escort them off the course. I will not be playing here for some period as my experience was POOR>
