About

Holes 18
Type Public/Resort
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.

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.

Enjoyable round

Overall glad I played, kind of pricey for what you get. White tees played kind of short was hitting wedges in. You could tell the course gets a lot of play

Early Season

A lot of wind today. Sunny. 60's Greens are still a little rough. Early in the season. But, in general, a wonderful day on the course. Beautiful views. Great staff! Safety conscious. Well organized. Need a little more attention on the cart path conditions. Love the shell pathways. Reminds me of Nantucket driveways... Have a great year! Golf is the last bastion of freedom!

Money

The course itself is in great shape .the staff( Ray) very friendly excellent service. But it seems the company tried to make all its money back in one day. It was very backed up A 20 minute wait on every hole 5 and a half hour round Disappointing day.☹️
