Baywood Greens

About this course
Baywood Greens operates as a public facility in Long Neck, Delaware, positioned in the coastal region between Rehoboth Beach and the Delaware Bay. The property features two distinct nines—Woodside and Waterside—designed by Bill Love, a regional architect who has worked on several courses throughout the Mid-Atlantic. The layout takes advantage of the area's relatively flat coastal plain topography, characteristic of Delaware's lower peninsula. The Woodside nine typically plays through more wooded corridors with tree-lined fairways, while the Waterside nine incorporates water features and wetland areas into its design, reflecting the property's proximity to coastal waterways. This dual-character routing is common in Delaware golf, where courses often transition between forested upland and marsh-influenced lowland terrain. The combination provides variety in both visual setting and strategic demands across the eighteen holes. The course serves the busy summer golf market along Delaware's coast, drawing visitors to the beach communities as well as local residents. Long Neck sits in a region that has seen considerable golf development since the 1990s, with multiple courses catering to the seasonal tourism economy. Baywood Greens offers a straightforward public golf experience without the formality of private club traditions, focusing on accessibility and playability for a wide range of golfers visiting or living in the area.

Getting there
Most visitors to Baywood Greens arrive via Philadelphia International Airport (PHL), roughly two hours north, or Baltimore/Washington International (BWI), a similar distance to the west, before tracing Delaware Route 1 south through the coastal corridor toward Rehoboth Beach. The final stretch peels inland from the shore traffic, slipping into the quieter reaches of Long Neck, where tidal marshes and stands of loblolly pine replace the boardwalk bustle. Private flyers often touch down at Georgetown-Sussex County Airport, a discreet twenty-minute drive west, offering a more direct passage to this tucked-away corner of the Delaware coast. The approach is unhurried and understated, befitting a club that prizes tranquility over fanfare.
