About Bay Creek
The Bay Creek Resort and Club located in Cape Charles, Virginia was sculpted from 1800 acres which included rich farmlands whose historic ownership can be traced all the way back to Land Grants from the King of England. The landscape includes hardwood and pine forests, beautiful soft white sand beaches stretching for miles along the Chesapeake Bay as well as thriving marine and wildlife habitats along the saltwater shorelines of the beautiful Old Plantation Creek, a broad inlet from the Bay. Having this exceptional mix of raw ingredients enabled the developer to convince golf course legends Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus to take advantage of these special qualities to design an Eastern Shore Virginia unique golf environment. Today Bay Creek has 27 intertwined Palmer and Nicklaus signature design holes that deliver a fabulous golf experience for golfers of all levels. With lavishly landscaped surroundings, sculpted sand bunkers, silky smooth greens, and beautiful waterfront holes sited along the Chesapeake Bay and Old Plantation Creek. Golfers are treated to glimpses of blue herons in the marsh, ospreys and bald eagles swooping overhead, sailboats gliding by, and dolphins gracefully swimming on sparkling Bay waters– this is some really great Virginia Eastern Shore golf, Bay Creek style!
In addition to world-class golf, current Bay Creek Resort amenities include 2 community swimming pools, tennis and pickle-ball courts, 2 miles of private white sandy beaches, and miles of multi-use trails meandering through it’s 350 acre nature preserve for the enjoyment of all residents and their guests. The Fitness Center features 10,000 square feet of fun and fitness with sweeping views of the Chesapeake Bay.

Members will also enjoy future planned amenities including a Beach Club featuring all of the things one would expect from an up-scale facility including an indoor, outdoor swimming pool, with food and beverage service, as well as a water activity area for kayaking, canoeing, and waterboarding.
Within a short golf cart ride away from any Bay Creek community (10 in all) is one of the very best marinas on the East Coast, the state-of-the-art King’s Creek Marina, named by “Southern Boating” magazine as one of the “Top Ten Marinas To Visit”. Located in the protected King’s Creek harbor close to its confluence with the Chesapeake Bay, this beautifully designed marina boasts a channel of about 7 ft. at MLW, floating slips up to 70 feet long, accommodating boats up to 150 feet and offering electric power up to 100 AMPS. The Complete Angler, it’s marine and tackle store, is fully stocked with everything the sports fisherman may need and more. Even if you’re not a boater, you’ll still be really impressed with this beautiful, top-of-the-line marina.
But what is most impressive about Bay Creek Resort & Club, outside of its fabulous golf, miles of sparkling sand beaches, and impressive community amenities and activities, is its intimate little residential villages, each offering its own special architectural theme. From the breezy and colorful British West Indies style homes in the beachfront village of “The Colony” to the William Poole traditional coastal living style homes at “The Signatures”, to the impressive stately at “Plantation Pointe” and “Heron Pointe”, or “Bayside Village” the site of four magnificent “Ideal Living Homes” a noteworthy honor as no community has ever been host to four of these spectacular homes at once. Each village offers a different feel and lifestyle choice to buyers and one of the reasons Bay Creek was selected by Ideal Living Magazine as “One of the top 100 places to live”.
