Style Links
Par 71
Length 6247 yards
Slope 120
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.

Greens like a carpet

Very disappointed for the price. I’m sure they do not care based off a full tee sheet. Course has a great layout and have played the course a dozen times but really disappointing. If you’re looking for greens that are currently running maybe a 7 downhill and you dont like stroking a putt, then this is your place.

Tight but fair

Stay on the fairways. The rough is unforgiving. The fescue is a lost ball.

Beautiful course, distractions.

Beautiful course. Unfortunately paying $115 to play a round paired up with dad and a 6 year old that ran around in the bunkers and was doing cart wheels in the fairways. Very distracted and not the ideal situation. Will be taking a break from a Seaview.
