Bay Creek - Nature preserve

Bay Creek is absolutely beautiful. It's a hidden gem on the Eastern Shore for sure…read more It's just outside of Cape Charles - a charming little historic town loaded with shops, bakeries, and friendly locals. It is renowned for it's fishing and oysters as well as now, it's ice cream and various other tourist-friendly pursuits. It exists in harmony with nearby Bay Creek, an exclusive golf-centric private community which has brought in plenty of transplants from around the state and various other states. The grounds of this community are stunning and immaculately maintained. It boasts several pools, a large fitness and members club, tennis and pickle-ball courts and many planned improvements as the community continues to grow. Additionally, there is, of course the famous 27-holes of golf with views of the Chesapeake Bay and water while you're on the range. It can't be beat. It's probably half-half at present with full-time and then those with second and rental properties here which they rent out throughout the year to visitors. It's in the midst of a huge boom for building and development as COVID has brought in plenty of people who can now telework from this area. A few years ago 9 of the holes were removed to create a large nature preserve with hiking and walking and biking trails along the protected marsh land. A beautiful addition to this neighborhood. If you have a chance to tour or play golf in this gorgeous resort - do so! It's something you won't want to miss.

What a disappointment! We bought here during Covid and were so excited by all of the momentum and…read moreactivity we saw here. New management promised us new facilities, new club, new indoor pool, improved golf course, better amenities, and the list goes on. What a huge LIE! Buyer Beware!!!!!!! The golf course has gone down horribly which is hard to understand as they have so many dues coming in now. The beach is eroding away quickly. Half of the back 9 that we thought was a nature conservation preserve is actually future development. The other half could become a mitigation bank. The developer maybe called Preserve Communities, but thousands of trees are being slaughtered to clear for new duplexes. The land is being raped for the profit of the developers and no one cares about the home owners once they have bought their lot. The last straw is a controlled burn that is scheduled for this week. The property manager sent out a flyer on surviving wildfires that recommends masking and air purifiers to survive the controlled burn. So there you have it. Far from perfect nature we are all about surviving controlled burns.

Golf is my new thing…read more I got some golf clubs and shoes for Christmas. My clubs are in a super cute purple and black bag. I've played twice before - once here and the other time at a range out close to Smithfield. I'd like to step my game up and actually hit the ball more than I ruin the green. Getting to the point, Riverfront is a beautiful course. I'm somewhat afraid of hitting a house from the course......eh, who am I kidding, I can't hit the ball that hard and far anyway ;). I've been to the driving range once, on our second visit, they were closed. Bummer. I do like that you drive off the grass and not mats. Lastly, this might be common sense to the golf pros out there, but its important to note that you have to have a collared shirt and cannot wear jeans on the driving range.

About myself: Play Riverfront anywhere from 4-5 times per month. Not a member but often play with…read moremembers. Pros: Riverfront is typically in good shape. For a course south of the Hampton Roads tunnels, Riverfront is usually a good bet that you will have decent tee box, good greens (with some exceptions), and clean fairways. Staff are generally friendly. Cons: Grounds crew is oblivious to the players. Typically find them with headphones on and unaware of their surroundings. Always have a problem with bunkers, bunkers are rarely raked and players don't do the course any favors by cleaning bunkers after use. Expect high load of divot marks on the greens. Normal to have to fix divot marks before a putt. If you are off the fairway, come to expect to have to hit off unmaintained areas (dirt, pine straw or debris). Maintenance ends at the fairway, rough is typically cut similar to fairway. If there is any rain the night before and you have an early tee time, expect no range as it is often closed. Unacceptable: The manager (Brian) is unfriendly and unloyal. How he maintains his job is not understood by members and players that know the staff. Example: Today I witnessed (why I decided to write a review) a twosome that went out for the first tee time (7 AM). Within the twosome were myself and a member of 5+ years that plays golf at Riverfront upwards of 4 times a week. We were provided awareness that a tournament would be going out at 8:30 and that it was starting on the back nine and stretched to hole 12. No additional direction was given. We reached hole 16 and ran into the tournament beginning play. Unfortunately, we folded in between the tournament groups and tee'd off on 16. We were met at our ball by a marshal. The marshal stated we needed to wait until the entire tournament went through before we picked up our play again....so other words wait 1.5-2 hrs for the entire tournament to go through. We let the marshal know that was unrealistic and that we would be able to fold into the group, finish our two holes and not hold anyone up. The marshal was favorable to that course of action, but the pro shop returned with an answer of we would shut down the cart until they leave. We finished 16 and then headed into the pro shop. Going into the pro shop the member requested a 9-hole rain check believing that was a good compromise to an unfortunate situation. He was offered by Brian, $5. Considering the long wait, we would have had to finish our round, the poor management of tee times (there was a twosome behind us) and the fact we were unable to finish our round that we paid for, we thought this was a good compromise. Brian disagreed to the point he ended up refunding the member over $800 for the remainder of his membership at the club. So, a long-term member, who spends over $500 a month additional at the course, and the upwards of $400 I spend at the course a month were not worth a nine-hole rain check due to an inconvenience on both the course and ourselves. In closing: I am sure this review will be met with the same professionalism and loyalty as presented today. Unfortunately, this professionalism is normal for management. If you want a decent course to play and have to stick south of the tunnel, no doubt Riverfront is worth the time. Do not expect you to be at the forefront of the management's concerns. Customers at Riverfront are not always right!
