Seaview - The Bay Course

Wind was blowing hard and made the course a real challenge

Course is in good shape for this time of year. Aeration on the greens is filling in nicely. A little wet in places, rained the night before and several tee boxes were closed for repair for next season. Overall nice shape, Very Windy when we played, but still a nice time.

Only 2 people were at the clubhouse, a desk person at the pro shop and a starter. I had to carry my clubs across the street approximately 200 yards. Absolutely not what is expected at Seaview!

THE COURSE WAS IN GOOD CONDITION BUT VERY WET. BUT FOR JAN 02, IT WAS A GOOD ROUND CONSIDERING IT WAS JANUARY. LOOKING FORWARD TO PLAYING THERE AGAIN IN THE SPRING.

I havent played this course in a long time and wanted to take my son because of its location and because it hosts the LPGA. I was disappointed to see that the conditions were not that good. Bad tee boxes, really, REALLY bad cart paths and a number of unplayable areas. The worst part is we were forced to pair up with two strangers. When I told the bag drop employee I was surprised about this, he gave me an attitude and said, "If you're that afraid of the virus then you should just stay home". He said it was a busy day and they were fully booked so there was no other option. When I booked online there was a ton of free tee times around my time so I thought it would not be an issue. I thought tee times were supposed to be more spaced out to avoid unnecessary exposure? Is the course just being greedy to squeeze in as many tee times and people as possible? The bag drop guy also handled our bags to the cart. I thought that was not allowed per NJ guidelines. At the most their should be a disclaimer on these sites that you MAY have to play as a foursome with strangers during this uncertain time.

Overall really good value for a great course with very friendly staff. Greens are a bit bumpy still but the course overall is in great condition for December. It is cart path only but well worth it to keep the fairways in good condition. Temp greens on the par 3s as well, but this wasn't an issue for us. Would definitely recommend!

This course is really nice. Fairway is pretty good but green was aerated so ball does not roll properly.

The course was in great condition for a cold December day. Wet in some areas from recent rain. Staff always nice and friendly here. The only issue was there were two groups of 5 players in a row which considerably slowed the pace of play. I’m sure they were members because nobody did anything about it. Other than that the course was enjoyable.

Wasn’t very happy with conditions of course. Greens didn’t roll well and were uncharacteristically slow due to aeration which we weren’t told about. There were a couple of temporary tee boxes which normally wouldn’t be an issue but were like hitting out of mushy rough. The Bay course is one of my favorites but won’t be playing anymore Winter Golf there. Very disappointing!!

Got a good deal on golfnow and the weather held up. Greens were recently aerated, but putts still rolled well. Pace of play was great, and overall would recommend. Only downfall would be the layout. Almost every hole is dead straight, not much imagination needed.

The basic reason for the 4 star review and not a 5 star was a result of slow play and aerated greens. It took almost 3 hours to play the front 9 with mostly 2somes and 3somes on the course. It is a classy operation but fell short by not letting people know the greens had been aerated.
