Broad Bay Country Club sits along the shores of the Lynnhaven River in Virginia Beach, Virginia, occupying a waterfront setting characteristic of the Tidewater region. The course was designed by Tom Clark and Ed Ault, architects who worked extensively in the Mid-Atlantic during the latter decades of the twentieth century. The layout takes advantage of the relatively flat coastal terrain, with water features and strategic bunkering providing the primary challenges rather than dramatic elevation changes. The routing incorporates views of the surrounding waterways and marshland, typical of Virginia's coastal golf courses. Several holes play along or near the water, requiring careful club selection and course management. The design reflects the era's emphasis on playability for a range of skill levels while maintaining enough challenge for competitive club events. Tree-lined fairways frame many holes, and the coastal climate supports the bermudagrass common to courses in this region. Broad Bay Country Club functions as a private facility serving the Virginia Beach community. The club offers traditional country club amenities beyond golf, including dining and social activities typical of established regional clubs. Its location in one of Virginia's largest cities provides members with convenient access while maintaining a setting that feels removed from urban development. The course represents a solid example of regional country club design from its period, built to serve an active membership rather than to host major championships or pursue national rankings.
