The Peninsula on the Indian River Bay Golf Club opened in 2006 as a Jack Nicklaus Signature Design in the coastal region of southern Delaware, roughly ten miles inland from Rehoboth Beach. The course occupies a relatively flat, wooded property characteristic of the Delmarva Peninsula, with routing that weaves through stands of pine and hardwood while incorporating wetlands and natural water features that connect to the nearby Indian River Bay watershed. Nicklaus shaped the layout to emphasize strategic options from the tee and around the greens, with generous fairway corridors balanced by well-placed bunkers and waste areas. The design features multiple teeing grounds that allow the course to play from under 5,000 yards to more than 7,000 yards, accommodating a range of skill levels. Several holes incorporate elevation changes modest by coastal standards but notable for the region, created through earthwork that adds dimension to approach shots and green complexes. The course serves as the centerpiece of a residential community and operates as a semi-private facility, welcoming both members and daily-fee play. The clubhouse overlooks the finishing holes and provides views across the property's more open stretches. The Peninsula fits within Delaware's growing golf market along the Route 1 corridor, where newer courses have joined longstanding layouts to serve the area's seasonal and year-round populations. The layout reflects Nicklaus's later design work, emphasizing playability and visual clarity while maintaining enough challenge to engage accomplished players.
