The two-day event consists of two rounds of stroke play, one on our Arnold Palmer Signature Course and one on our Jack Nicklaus Signature Course.

According to Joe Burbee, PGA Director of Golf, "The Bay Creek Amateur is one of the premier amateur events for golfers from the mid-Atlantic region and beyond who want to experience the thrill of competing against players with similar skill levels on two of the best courses you’ll find anywhere. And, our staff always conducts a first class tournament."

Joe Restein, Tournament Chairman
The tournament Chairman is Bay Creek member and lifelong Eastern Shore resident Joe Restein. Joe is an accomplished amateur who plays in many tournaments around the world. He is the driving force behind the Bay Creek Amateur and it is his passion and attention to details that make the event so enjoyable to play in. Said Joe Burbee, "With his many experiences playing in high caliber tournaments, Mr. Restein makes sure the participants are treated right and that the courses are set up in a fair but challenging way. Everyone that played last year said they had a great time and it was one of the best events they ever played in. I think Jack himself would love it!"
