Club General Manager , Greg Yeomans who was one of the first employees hired in 2004 as the Head Golf Professional before taking over as Club Manager in 2015 , has seen the evolution of the community and club in his twenty years , “ The Bay Club has grown in many ways through the years but perhaps most notably is how the community has transformed into a terrific blend of younger families and those enjoying a retired lifestyle . Membership has mirrored that transformation , and while having championship quality golf is a key factor , club professional Ben Egan and chef Mary Towers accompanied a fortunate set of Club members to Tuscany in Italy in 2023 to play golf and enjoy the local culture and cuisine . Chef Towers obtained local produce from both the farm on which the party ’ s large villa was located as well as other nearby providers . The results were well received , complemented by excellent meals on visits to nearby towns such as Tocchi , Monticiano , Pienza , and San Gimignano . The trip was another way that Bay Club members enjoy exclusive opportunities that enhance their lifestyle at the community .
