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.

Not a fan

Very surprised they play an LPGA event here...and in 3 weeks!... greens are slow and bumpy...layout is short and boring but you better hit it straight...nice views of marshes and Atlantic City in distance...definitely NOT country club quality or worth the price that's charged.

CUT THE ROUGH!

Maybe they are getting ready for the upcoming LPGA event, but the rough here made for a miserable round. The rest of the course is in great shape but the grass in the rough was so high that we lost multiple balls that were just off the fairway. Spent a good portion of our round just walking in circles trying to find balls in the rough or around the bunkers.

Considering the time of the year the course is in good condition. The greens have been aerated but they are rather quick and are coming along nicely. I always enjoy playing this course because I find the layout interesting and challenging.wind usually plays a role in shot selection especially along the marshes.

The two groups in front of us were slow. Considering the expected rain, they should have moved faster. For us, it rained at the beginning of the 17th hole.

Great track!

Seaview Bay was as good as a late-winter course could reasonably be!

Well Known Gem of South Jersey

Everyone knows the LGPA plays here annually. The course is terrific and always in good shape. What I like best is the pace of play. Hopefully I'm not jinxing myself but played in 4 hours every time I've been here. In the "off season" they have excellent "deals". In the summer (at least last summer), not so much. Hopefully they will offer some GolfPass Hot Deals in the spring and summer - as they do in the winter.

Good offseason rates, multiple t-boxes down

Played the bay for offseason rates, good value for the price, disappointing that multiple t boxes were being repaired and the only substitute offered was mats…
