Bayville Golf Club

read moreWhen talking about Bayville Golf Club, we find ourselves often using the phrase "A Total Golf Experience!" Bayville has adopted a philosophy that exemplifies the values that are traditional and wonderful about the game of golf. A classic links design - by premier golf course architect Tom Fazio - captures the 268 acre former dairy farmland site into an "environmental showcase" along the Lynnhaven River and transcends our Founding members' goal of pure quality golf. Bayville is a private club limited to 300 members.

The additional acreage available at the time of construction allowed for an extensive practice area for members' short game perfection, including a multi-tiered tee box area for maximum wear rotation, two practice putting greens, two chipping greens and several practice bunkers. Creation of a short game practice area at the South End of the practice facility to offer a tremendous variety of practice options, including a second chipping green, rebuilt practice bunkers and new short-range target greens.

Once you pass that first hurdle, a generous landing area in a very large fairway sets up variety of different options to approach this elevated green. Most of the left side of this Medium Length Par 4 is well guarded with challenging rough and bunkers. The beautiful Pleasure House Natural Area can be seen all along the left side of this fairly long but lovely Par 3. The wind almost always comes into play on this hole, so make sure you gauge it wisely.
