About this course
The Nicklaus Course at Bay Creek in Cape Charles, Virginia, is a Jack Nicklaus Signature design that opened in 2006 on the Chesapeake Bay side of Virginia's Eastern Shore. It originally measured 7,417 yards over 18 holes. In 2020, new ownership turned nine of the original holes into a nature preserve, leaving nine Nicklaus holes in play alongside the resort's 18-hole Palmer course. The remaining holes include several along the bay with large waste bunkers and dune features. Bay Creek operates on a resort and member basis.
