Fenwick Island, Del, Oct. 12, 2005 â?¦ Bayside Resort Golf Club recently celebrated a milestone, with the purchase of its 150th Golf Membership to the Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course that opened in August.
"This is a significant step along the way to creating the community environment that we envision for Bayside," said Joshua M. Freeman, president and CEO of Carl M. Freeman Communities, L.L.C., which created the residential and destination property. "The enthusiastic response to the golf club is exciting, and reflects an understanding of the excellence that Jack Nicklaus brought to the Bayside project, as well as an appreciation of the standards we are committed to uphold for our Members and their families in the years to come."
Bayside’s 7,545-yard, par-72 Nicklaus design is the centerpiece of a golf resort community situated along 867 waterfront acres of natural wetlands and majestic woods on the Delmarva Peninsula, just north of the Maryland border. Bayside is within driving distance of major metropolitan areas in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland and Delaware.
The golf course has been well received, with Nicklaus among those who can see why Bayside is attracting memberships at a lively pace.
"We knew it was a nice piece of property," Nicklaus said at the Aug. 8 grand opening celebration of the Bayside course. "And I think we turned out a pretty darn nice project, a pretty darn nice golf course. It’s got some really nice golf holes on it and it’s got some nice views."
