West Course
The original Bay Club course and home to "Devil’s Island", the infamous par 3 and island green at hole #14. The West Course also features the "Green Monster", a 100 yard wide double green serving hole #9 & hole #18.
Devil’s Island has become both a signature hole and an Eastern Shore landmark. The green plays at 189 yards from the back tee with gentle hills around it that slope back into the water. The hole has a prevailing left to right crosswind - so plan carefully! Pro's advice is simply to "pick the right club, check the wind, calm the nerves, and let it rip!"
