“The Bayville property really presented a lot of potential for us,” noted Fazio. “There was an attractive manor house in the center of the property, some beautiful tidal marshes on the edges, and the ground around the manor house was high, so we were able to cut the golf holes into the ground and create a whole ridgeline around the central part of the property. We had no real constraints other than just fitting the golf course onto the land. To me as a designer, that was a major positive, and we were able to create a fantastic course.” But why take the designer’s word for it. “I play golf all over the world,” says member Peggy Woodard, “and I never have enjoyed a course, members and staff, more than I have at Bayville. You get a feeling when you walk in that everyone is glad you’re there. If you want to get in a good mood, go to Bayville. I never get tired of going.”
