Originally Rio Del Mar Country Club, Seascape Golf Club is a classic 18-hole layout perched on the coast highlands of the Monterey Peninsula. Opened in 1926, the course was actually shut down during World War II when it served as a “victory garden” to help grow crops for the nation's war effort. After the war it came back with its new name, but old charm. The golf course is just a half mile from the Pacific Ocean, but it's largely protected by Monterey pines and eucalyptus trees that surround it. Seascape Golf Club features well maintained fairways, strategically placed bunkers and small, tricky greens.

A Santa Cruz area Must-Play!

This course was excellent and very enjoyable! Conditions were great and the greens rolled fast and true. I found it exciting and that each hole was a new experience from shape to elevation. I would highly recommend it!

Escape the heat in Aptos

No choice to select NICE or COOL weather, not PERFECT, but 65* compared to 100* inland was NICE.

Scenic layout with lots of severely sloping greens.

Some very tight driving holes....local knowledge is helpful.

Not long, but soft conditions due to moist weather.

3some played in 4.5 hrs despite waiting for 5some ahead of us.

Very Satisfied

I came from Reno, NV to play this course with my brothers and a friend. I was very satisfied with the course condition and all amenities. Staff is first class. Added bonus is that traffic from and to the Bay Area is not as frustrating as playing elsewhere on the coast. We will return to this course again later this year.

Great Course in good shape

Enjoyed a holiday Monday round. Teed off at 9am and finished within 4 hours.

Course was in very good condition, greens ran true and quick.

Definitely coming back as I forgot how much fun this place was!

Pleasant/Relatively Easy/ Suburb Course

Because I live a couple of miles from this course, I WANT Seascape to be a great place to play but instead, it is my course of last resort. I routinely drive 45 minutes to play what I consider to be top tier golf courses like San Juan Oaks, Eagle Ridge, Bayonet/Blackhorse, Poppy Hills.

Alas, you get what you play for; green fees are in line with an average (albeit pleasant), resort/executive style, golf course in an above-average (proximity to tourism) location. Seascape is a pretty, fairly short, course that feels as though it has been shoe-horned into a housing track.

While it sits in the middle of a housing development, it still manages to be a nice setting. It has a nice ocean view from the clubhouse dining room (good breakfast on the deck), and the course is lined with Eucalyptus and Monterey Pines. This course is particularly pretty in the morning and evening when the sun is low. If you just want to go out and get some fresh air and sunshine, this is your spot. It does not present the kind of challenges that make you want to come back and out-shoot the course designer.

Most of the year, most of the fairways are in good shape; however, where there lots of Eucalyptus trees, the turf suffers. The greens are kept in nice condition - they are lush, very receptive, and due to the cartoonishly sloped surfaces of some of the greens, are medium paced. Stay below the hole here to avoid three-putting.

The course is a mixture of 3 particularly difficult par threes (the fourth par three is a simple wedge shot), some fun (short and/or forgiving) par fives, and a bevy of par fours that, while not long, present unusual fairway elevations and elevated greens. There is a happy mixture of straight and dog-legged par fours. Expect to have some approach irons to greens that have nothing behind them but OB stakes.

Because of its proximity to the beaches Seascape gets a lot of visitor play during the summer months. Pace of play on the weekends can be dismal. Check with the pro shop.

NOTE: During the rainy season, this track ranges from poor to unplayable. It needs at least a couple of weeks to dry out after a good-sized storm.

Greens are now slick, not medium, as I stated in my review. The summer has dried them out and they are being cut very short.

This makes for challenging putting as the greens are cartoonishly sloped.

Pace of play

Considering the past rains, the course was in great condition. Crews were working on tree cleanup and the fairways were decent.

However, 51/2 hours for a round in midweek was a little too long for me!

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME

It had to be the worst kept course i have played in 6-7 months. I have played this course more than a few times but this time it was awful and for early afternoon $45 green fee and 5 1/2 hours later made it even worse. I say spend your money elsewhere and wait till the groundskeepers come back from being on strike because they had to be somewhere because they sure weren't at the course
