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.

In light winds, the bay course is is friendlier. The course was in great shape. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I would recommend it to friends and look forward to playing it again.

Love the course

Course rate can be a bit pricey but off peak rate was reasonable at $75

Just air rated the greens so the putting was very choppy.

Disappointing

Was expecting a real treat in Atlantic City and this was not it. The staff could not have been less interested in providing any service. Not even a place to out on shoes, just told to stand against an old iron rail.

It is a great piece of property with great views, but the grounds, fairways, and greens were in very poor shape.

Best in area.

Nice course but disappointed with start. Almost always feel my GN status.a plus.. Tee off delayed as one of course’s pros gave on course lesson to three golfers as we had to watch them for six holes.

Second cut high narrowing fairways and resulting in making course difficult

Nice layout and views, but average condition and slow play

Course condition was average. We found the greens to be slow

Pace of play was not good…4 hours 45 minutes.

We waited on every shot…and I mean every!

Not our 1st time here, but will be quite a while before we come back

Great Course, a bit pricy.

Course is a classic & it is in good shape.

Kudos to the staff for being nothing short of outstanding!

The price is high, however the service is great.

Driving range & practice area could use some attention. Not great for a high end course. It used to be great.

Overall, good day. If you’re not a good sand player, practice those shots before playing here. There is A LOT of sand in the bunkers and as most of you know, many golfers need lessons that it’s their responsibility to take the trenches they leave when entering or leaving a sand trap.

Free drop from the DEEP heel marks!

(Caution) I was hit into multiple times.

I was hit by a ball after repeatedly asking the group behind not to hit into me. Let me start off by saying I absolutely loved this course. The Ross design is old school but extremely playable and forgiving. The problem I had was not with the course, it was the staff and leadership. I booked my time as a single last minute due to a schedule change and was to be the 4th player for the specific tee time. Once I arrived I was told that they overbooked my tee time and sent me out on the second hole ahead of the director of golfs 4ball. I played 3 holes without issue. Came to hole 5 a 291 yard par 4, I hit my second shot long out of the bunker and was searching for maybe 1 minute before I heard a ball land on the fairway. I proceeded to wave my hands letting them know I was still on the hole, the one player then drove the green and nearly hit me in the face. I pleaded with them to stop and they started yelling at me so I just picked up and moved two holes ahead. I continued on and on hole ten they drove it over the trees and the ball hit inside my cart and struck me in the thigh very hard. Long story short I wrote them a very level headed email about this and received zero response which just confirms with me it was the director of golf and just because he’s a better golfer and knows the course better than me on a course for the first time that he could care less about his customers or their safety. Please be careful if you choose to risk it to play what is otherwise a very nice course.
