Rating 69.5

The Bay Course is one of two 18-hole courses that the Seaview offers. Designed by famed golf course designer, Donald Ross, it was the first course of the resort and it is also the more famous of the two. Over the years, they made renovations but it was eventually restored to Ross' original links design.

The greens are small and undulating and the Atlantic winds definitely play a huge role in the game. The 2nd hole is the signature hole with a yardage of 432 and a par of 4 that can where the ocean serves as a hazard. Seaview's Bay Course also hosts the ShopRite LPGA Classic.

Nice day & ice view

Not only was the weather nice, but it was also a place I wanted to visit, and it was a golf course next to a wonderful beach. The price is good, thank you.

Wet weather
Walked

1st opening round after > 1 foot of snow

It was great to get out, and I love the bay course.

We probably should have waited another week for them to clean up the course a bit, but it's been a long winter.

Mats on par 3s

Overall course is ok this time of year events your the green and mats on tee boxes on par 3s. The aeration on the green are horrible and feel as if it was done to late in season cause grass hasn't had a chance to grow back. And if your gonna put mats down on tee boxes put them at all or none and to have a quality mat that will hold a tee having 2 pin position is crap, 1 pin is cut in good spot and the other pin cut in a messed up spot. Not impressed considering what they charge in prime of season. And need to take out a bank loan just to buy merchandise

First Time Playing

The pace of play is horrendous- over 2 hrs for 6 holes staff was unfriendly

The staff could use some training in customer service. They were rude and unprofessional. They should understand that we are paying over $100 a round and would appreciate basic course information. Rest room facilities are horrible and overall pace of play would have been 5 1/2 hours had we not quit after 11 holes. Probably the week before the LPGA event or the week after would be the best time to play because the course would be in its best shape.
