Bayville Golf Club opened in 1995, exclusively for the pleasure and recreation of its members and foremost for their enjoyment of golf.  The Club considers every application without regard to gender, race, creed, color, or national origin.  Bayville members are bound by the Bylaws, Rules and Regulations and Golf Rules of the Club, as amended from time to time.  Membership is by invitation only by the Board of Directors.

The Founding Members of Bayville had a visionary path with three basic goals:

First, membership is open to any congenial person of good character and integrity,

Second, membership is limited, no more than 300 members, to ensure accessibility for all members to play when they wish (no tee times) and

Third, to give members the finest golf experience to be found in this region. 

The Founding Members had a vision and a commitment to quality when Bayville Golf Club was planned.  The vision of "pure quality golf" transformed a spacious 268-acre site into a superlative golf experience for its members.  Over the years, an exclusive membership base of prominent community and business leaders came to fruition.  Bayville Golf Club is now one of America's most prestigious private clubs.  The Founding Members' vision is now a testimonial enjoyed by its members. 

The renowed golf course architect Tom Fazio designed Bayville Golf Club.  Many of Fazio's high profile private club projects were named "Best New Courses in the Country" by Golf Digest magazine on several occasions, catapulting him into the spotlight and inundating him with requests for golf course design.  Today, the Club continues to use his talents as improvements, upgrades and refinements are made to the golf course.  The Board of Directors continues to keep Bayville on the leading edge of golf course technology, maintenance and operation with its long-range Tom Fazio MASTER PLAN to ensure the original quality and vision of Bayville Golf Club. 


In 2009-2010, Bayville was ranked 7th in Virginia by Golf Digest.  Bayville Golf Club was evaluated on the following:  shot values, resistance to scoring, design variety, aesthetics, conditioning, ambience and walkability.  Bayville continues to be recognized as one of the best golf courses in the region.  The members of Bayville thank its Director of Golf Course Operations, Cutler Robinson, CGCS, and his staff in maintaining Bayville in the highest standards of playability. 




The United States Golf Association has selected Bayville as the venue for the 2011 U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur Championship.  Only 13 courses are selected each year to host a USGA National Championship, and Bayville is now in the elite category of "Championship Courses."
