OVERVIEW

The Bay County Golf Course is the 'golfer's choice' of Bay County.  The 18 hole facility is located in Hampton township on Hampton road just west of Knight road.  (right behind the Bay Medical Care Facility)

The golf course offers 18 challenging and beautifully manicured holes for golfers of all ages and abilities. With continuous cart paths winding throughout the course, a full fleet of Yamaha golf carts are available to rent.  The course also features a practice range with limited flight balls and a practice putting green adjacent to the clubhouse.   To accomodate disabled golfers, a mobility golf cart is available on a daily basis.

Ranked by Golf Digest as a place to play in their 2008-2009 edition, ranked by AAA magazine as best value, and by the Bay City Times as one of the top five courses in the area, Bay County offers great value for the golfing enthusiast. 

The course is home to three local high schools;  Bay City Central, Bay City All Saints, and Essexville-Hampton Garber High.  Many leagues also call 'the County' home.

   The Annual County Tournament   

The annual 'County Tournament' is the tradition of the Bay County Golf Course.  An amateur tournament that has been played for 80 years the golf course prides itself in this event.  We feel like this tournament is the closest event most will get to playing in the Big Time.  With galleries and sign bearers your adrenaline is sure to flow when you step on that first tee.  The tournament is broken down into 5 flights determined by handicaps and brings out the best players in the County. 

The County Tournament is held around the first weekend of August.  This 36 hole Amateur stroke play tournament is a summer classic!  See Links below.

Spring Scramble      

.....2010 Winners...Chad Horner.....Terry Horner.....Dick Linton.....

 

The Spring Scramble is a 3 person Scramble that was implemented in 2010.  It was designed to get the kinks out at the beginning of the year.  The 1st annual had 21 teams and was a very competitive tournament.  Ou goal is to get all level of players out to have a good time and win some prizes!

As with our other scrambles we use multiple tee markers determined on your age.  The idea was to level the playing field from those flat belly kids who hit it 300 yards.  Men played from the BLUE tees (set all the way back!), Seniors 50 - 64 years old played from the WHITE tees, while women and seniors 60 -older played from the RED tees. It was a good event and we had a 4 team playoff for the championship.

 Tough Hole Scramble      

.....2009 Winners...Nick Spencer.....Tom Rezler.....Brad LaVictor.....

The 'Tough Hole' Scramble is a 3 person event held during the month of September.  The tournament began in 2007 and is becoming a staple of our tournament schedule.  The 'Tough Hole' is making pin placements as difficult as the hole cutter can make them.  (The Hole Cutter shall remain nameless for the sake of his/her safety.)  Along with closest to the pin challenges and a long drive an optional skins game is available. 

One format of the event NEW in 2008 was using multiple tee markers.  The idea was to level the playing field from those flat belly kids who hit it 300 yards.  Men played from the BLUE tees (set all the way back!), Seniors 50 - 64 years old played from the WHITE tees, while women and seniors 65 -older played from the RED tees. The event is sure to create some memories some good, maybe some bad, but guaranteed a good time with friends.  We continue to look at growing the event and would encourage all to become a part of the tradition.

 Fall Scramble             

.....2009 Winners...Mike Mieske.....Al Burkhardt.....

The 'Fall Scramble' is a 2 person event held during the middle of October.  It is an end of the year event that began in the fall of 2007.  An event that has been well represented the 'Fall Scramble' has showcased some very good golf.  The event has closest to the pin challenges, a long drive challenge, and an optional skins game as well.   

As with the 'Tough Hole' the 'Fall Scramble' uses various tee markers for the event.  Men played from the BLUE tees (set all the way back!), Seniors 50 - 64 years old played from the WHITE tees, while women and seniors 65 -older played from the RED tees.  We continue to look at ways to build the event to ensure a larger field every year.  Bring out a partner and get signed up for 2009!
