3. Award Winning Golf Course 

Bay Creek is an Arnold Palmer Signature Golf Course, meaning that the Arnold Palmer Design Company created and supervised the construction of this course. These courses frequently become venues for professional tournaments because of their beautiful, meticulous design and overall craftsmanship.

As Arnold Palmer explained it himself, “My basic philosophy—and that of everyone at APDC—is based on straightforward design. This produces courses of lasting quality that are exciting and enjoyable for golfers of every handicap. The designs are founded on strategies of the game, and are sensitive to the land. In fact, sensitivity to the environment is key to everyone at APDC, and it shows in our creations. As is evident with all great courses, we respect the existing terrain as much as each project allows us to do so within the framework of playability. Basically, we do not force or design unnecessary grade work or features.”
