Playing Hole #2 at Bayside Resort Golf Club

The 2^nd hole at Bayside Resort Golf Club is a challenging par 5 that plays from between 426 yards from the Forward tees up to 614 yards from the Signature tees.  The left side of the hole is lined byRoy’s Creek and the right side by a lateral water hazard. 

The key to playing this hole successfully is getting off to a great start with a drive that favors the left side of the fairway.  On the second shot you have a couple of options.

You can lay up down the left side to around 130 yards leaving a short iron into this small green or you can go down the right side taking a little more risk by carrying the bunkers located at the end of the pond.  Over the bunkers may feel as though you are trying to land in a small area; however, there is ample room for a well struck shot that will leave 75 to 100 yards to the green. 

The green complex at Hole #2 is very representative of all the greens at Bayside.  As the architect, Jack Nicklaus wanted to create a more traditional golf course so the greens are slightly elevated and the bunkers are small and deep.  When hitting your shot to this green, you will want to avoid the left side and over the green.  If you miss the green err to the right side. 

 Although this will leave you with a chip up a steep slope, the putting surface slopes to the right making this shot manageable.  A good shot to play from this tightly mown chipping area is a bump and run with a mid-iron or hybrid.

 

Bayside ~ A Classic Delaware Beach Resort Community

Bayside is a classic Delaware beach resort community with that “front-porch-friendly” style of living where family traditions are created.  Located just 4 miles from the beautiful beaches of the Atlantic Ocean in Fenwick Island, Delaware, Bayside offers so much more than just a new beach home.

Bayside is away from the crowds, yet full of life. It is a real beach community where friends, family and neighbors can gather, shop, dine, be entertained, go to the beach, participate in abundant recreational activities, or simply relax – all surrounded by unspoiled nature along the shores of Assawoman Bay.

Bayside is an award-winning classic beach resort community developed by the regionally renowned Carl M. Freeman Companies. Tree-lined streets showcase a community of stunning townhomes, elegant single family homes, and spacious condominiums – all inspired by the New England coastal towns.

Bayside’s sidewalks and walking trails allow beach home owners to enjoy the beach community’s abundant amenities, open meadows, woodlands and marshes as well as convenient shopping all within this spectacular Delaware beach resort town. With its’ Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, beautiful waterfront, open spaces and a variety of beach resort amenities, Bayside has something for everyone.

The Bayside family neighborhood is where Grandpa can teach his grandchildren to fish at the pier. It’s where sibling rivalry is expressed through an ultra-competitive tennis match. It’s where the victor is treated to a cold iced tea by the pool while the youngest members of the family frolic in the kids splash zone.

Bayside is a beach resort community where you can explore the beaches of the Delaware National Seashore in the morning and a round of golf on the Signature Jack Nicklaus Golf Course at Bayside beach resort in the afternoon. Cap off the day with a family-style barbeque on your back porch.

Bayside is also a beach community where nature abounds and the coastal protection of the area’s natural resources is critical. With open space accounting for more than 50% of the community and 287-acres set aside in a conservation easement, Bayside has been recognized for its environmental efforts by several organizations. In 2006, Bayside was named Community of the
Year by Coastal Living magazine for its high environmental standards and sensitivity to its coastal environment.

People choose to live at Bayside for many reasons – the variety of home-styles, the abundance of amenities and activities, and the diversity of the natural surroundings. From the community’s signature Carousel Park to “Dive-In” movies & fireworks, or from long walks along the expansive nature trails to a gentle kayak ride on a warm summer afternoon, Bayside is the kind of place that feels like home the moment you and your family arrive.
