Bay Creek (Nicklaus) - Virginia - USA

Situated within a 1700-acre property at the southern tip of the Delmarva Peninsula, the two 18-hole golf courses at Bay Creek resort are laid out along the spectacular coastline around Chesapeake Bay on Virginia’s Eastern Shore.

Bay Creek boasts a couple of signature golf course designs from two of the all-time golfing greats. Arnold Palmer’s course was first to open and The King’s course debuted in 2001, five years ahead of Jack Nicklaus’s wonderful 18 holes.

The Golden Bear’s layout incorporates all the usual features to be found on any course – like ponds and sand bunkers – as holes weave around wetlands and water hazards. In addition, Jack cleverly included a number of large waste areas to smooth the transition from fairway to rough.
