Get Ready for Great Golf!
April 9, 2012
This edition of the Bayberry Bulletin is devoted to all of those golfers out there who can’t wait to hit the links. With spring well underway, we want to make you aware of 3 great golf courses in our area. You do not have to drive very far to play on 3 different 18-hole regulation golf courses – and all have full-service grills and restaurants to quench your thirst and satisfy your appetite.
The first is Back Creek Golf Club (302-378-6499) located just 4.5 miles west of Bayberry on Churchtown Road. Back Creek is a daily fee course that also offers memberships. The course measures 7,113 yards from the championship tees with a par of 71. It is the longest of the 3 courses. Weekend greens fees are $50.00 on Saturday, and $52.50 on Sunday, but that reduces to $36.00 on Sunday after 2 pm. This is a really good deal now that we are enjoying longer days with the early advent of daylight savings time!
The second course is the closest to Bayberry, being only 3.2 miles away. It is Frog Hollow Golf Club (302-376-6500) and it is located south of Bayberry on the southern-most segment of Cedar Lane Road. It, too, is a daily fee course that also offers memberships. It measures 6,608 yards from the championship tees with a par of 71 and is the shortest of the 3 courses. Weekend greens fees are $55.00 for both Saturday and Sunday. For those who don’t play golf, there are memberships available for the Frog Hollow Swim & Tennis Club.
The newest of the 3 courses is Odessa National Golf Club (302-464-1007) which is southeast of Bayberry and southeast of Odessa. It is about 7 miles away on Fieldsboro Road just west of and adjacent to Route 9. It is also a daily fee course which offers memberships. It is 6,961 yards long from the championship tees with a par of 72. Greens fees are just $45.00 Monday through Friday, and $55.00 on Saturday and Sunday. A beautiful brand new clubhouse was opened late last year.
All three of these courses were designed in the links-land style of golf course architecture meaning that they feel much more open than other courses that were carved out of forest. They have undulating fairways and roughs that look more like meadows. If you love golf, you will feel very privileged living so close to 3 beautiful courses. The fact that all 3 are daily fee means you can mix it up by playing all 3 using very little financial resources, and without the dues and initiation fees or bonds that so many private clubs demand.
Three great affordable courses all within about 7 miles of Bayberry. How nice is that?!

So Close to a Natural Treasure!
January 10, 2012
Just six short miles east of the Village of Bayberry North lies one of the largest and most beautiful natural resources along the entire East Coast. If you travel east on Boyds Corner Road, cross over Rt. 13, and proceed along Pole Bridge Road to Port Penn, you will discover the Thousand Acre Marsh and Augustine Wildlife Area totaling 2,770 protected acres! The State of Delaware just announced that another 194 acres will be added to this unique and valuable wild life preserve. Anyone interested in birdwatching, wildlife watching, or just pure natural beauty should seek it out, and don’t forget your camera!
Please enjoy reading more details about this acquisition and this area in an article published in the January 8, 2012, News Journal. This is just one of many area attractions that make Bayberry’s location one of the best in the entire state.

A very busy December at Bayberry!
December 27, 2011
December is always a busy month with Hanukkah, Christmas, shopping, gift wrapping, and tree trimming. There are so many parties to attend, family members to reconnect with, and old friends to greet.
We are proud to report that this December has also been a very busy month at Bayberry. Through the hard work of our Sales and Construction teams, we will welcome seven new families to our Bayberry Community this month! These families will go to settlement and will spend their first holiday in their beautiful new homes.
They will eventually be joined by seven additional families who have signed agreements of sale, also during this month of December. With seven settlements and seven sales agreements all in one month, Bayberry is now one of the best selling communities in Middletown!
With its great location, close proximity to Route 1, beautiful entrance, and family oriented amenities, we knew from the very beginning that Bayberry would one day be a special place to call home. We thank these fourteen families for wanting to become a part of this exceptional place. We will continue to work hard to make Bayberry a great place to live.

DIAA Division 1 Football State Championship Game
December 9, 2011Congratulations to the Middletown High School Cavaliers! On Friday, December 2nd, Middletown won the DIAA Division 1 Football State Championship against Newark High School.
Newark scored the first 16 points of the game, only to have Middletown score three touchdowns in a row during the second and third quarters. The Yellowjackets managed to gain the lead again with another touchdown in the fourth quarter before Middletown’s one-yard touchdown with two minutes left in the game put them back in the lead. Newark attempted one final pass but the Cavaliers defense held on in the final seconds to win the school’s first state title since 2007 with a score of 27-23.
Thanks to both schools for such an exciting game and congratulations on a great season!
Final Bayberry Town Center Plans Cleared
December 6, 2011The following is an excerpt from “Final Bayberry Town Center Plans Cleared” by Adam Taylor published in The News Journal on November 13, 2011
New Castle County Council has approved the final design plans for Bayberry Town Center, a 560,000-square-foot commercial and office center three miles south of the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal between Del. 896 and Del. 1.
The council approved the plans for the town center in 2008. Last week’s vote was a formality that notes the developer has satisfied the county Land Use Department’s requirements to have its final development plan recorded with the county. Blenheim Homes is now free to start building.
But that won’t happen for some time. The town center hasn’t been marketed to potential tenants yet, developer Jay Sonecha of Blenheim said. Sonecha envisions the town center would be completed in about 12 years.
Once it’s built, the town center will be the first major shopping center in the area. The closest shopping centers are seven miles away in Middletown and nine miles away in Glasgow.
The town center would be on 76 acres and would include a bank, a grocery store, restaurants and coffee, ice cream and clothing stores. Space has been set aside to donate to the county for a library and to the YMCA for a new branch that could include athletic fields and outdoor pools. Neither the county nor the YMCA has committed to locating there.
The town center plan calls for 318,000 square feet of commercial-retail space, 178,000 square feet of office space and 64,000 square feet of athletic space.

Welcome to the Bayberry Bulletin!
November 29, 2011
Welcome to the very first edition of the “Bayberry Bulletin!” This will be a regular feature of this website, and will represent our way to quickly communicate with current and prospective homeowners at Bayberry.
When we have important news about Bayberry or the surrounding community, such as local events, special interests, announcements or new product offerings, you will find it here on the “Bayberry Bulletin.” We might profile a Blenheim employee who is part of the home ownership experience beginning with sales and culminating with moving into a beautiful new Bayberry home. Maybe it will just be a short article about the season or what’s happening in Southern New Castle County.
A bulletin is defined as “a brief account or statement, of recent news or important events, issued for the information to the public.” This is the essence of our “Bayberry Bulletin.” We hope you enjoy it and will refer to it on a regular basis.
