Bayville Golf Club

What Bayville Golf Club does

Bayville Golf Club is a private, members-only golf club founded in 1995 in Virginia Beach, Virginia, operating on a 268-acre former dairy farmland site along the Lynnhaven River. The club's core asset is an 18-hole, 7,138-yard championship links course originally designed by Tom Fazio and later re-designed by Andrew Green, supplemented by a 16-acre practice facility with multi-tiered tee boxes, putting and chipping greens, and practice bunkers.

Membership is capped at 300 family units and includes spouses plus unmarried dependent children aged 24 and under, with no tee-time requirements and reciprocal billing arrangements with Princess Anne CC, Cavalier G&YC, and CCV partner clubs. Revenue is generated through recurring membership dues, guest green fees (capped at six plays per guest per year), on-site F&B at the Bayville Tavern, and golf shop sales of equipment, apparel, and rental sets.

The target customer is affluent business leaders and golfing enthusiasts in the Hampton Roads region seeking exclusive, unrestricted access to a high-condition championship course and a traditional private-club social environment. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and the club employs 11-50 staff across golf operations, maintenance, F&B, and administration under member-based governance typical of U.S. private clubs.
