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.

Well maintained

Although heavy rains saturated the course the night before I found conditions to be very good except for the sand traps which seem to be terrible every where. It was cart path only conditions so I walked. It is a great walking course with very little elevation change. Greens were smooth and although not fast the ball rolled true. The rough was not the place to be but still at a depth where you had a chance of finding your ball. The Bay is always a challenging course to play and I keep coming back every year hoping to finally figure out the formula to play it well.

Perfect weather

We spent too much time looking for balls in the first cut of rough. Between the length of the grass and the grass clippings, it was difficult to see balls even when within couple yards. I think this slowed down overall play. The heavy rough is just penal, which is ok. But frustrating to spend so much time looking for balls just off the fairway.

Greens were in good shape.

Unless they figure out the bug situation, never going back

The greenhead horseflies were out of control. We were attacked constantly for the first 12/13 holes, and they subsided a bit on the last 5/6. Course layout is good, but unless the bug situation can be addressed via traps, etc..., not worth the money.

Layout is great, conditions seemed very run down, bunkers all had significant standing water, sand was inconsistent across all bunkers, and none had adequate amounts of sand.

Staff were all terrific, very helpful and friendly.
