Rock solid collection of par 3s, tempting par 5s, and a variety of par 4s that always keep you on your toes. While not as pristine as the private clubs in the area, Baywood still manages to punch above its weight with its high quality routing.

Anyone that’s played enough Jack courses know they can be very hit or miss. With a pricey greens fee of over $200 with other options inland I was very skeptical going into bayside. It did not take long for that skepticism to disappear.

Some of the best greens I have ever played and for only $69 on a Friday morning with a cart this is an absolute steal.
