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.

Slow Play

5 1/2 hour round and no ranger to move it along. I understand that the greens are difficult but with no trees and little chance of losing a ball, this was way to slow. Greens were just aerated but expected at this time of the season. Fairways were ok and it's interesting to play where the LPGA plays. Al in all I'd prefer the Pines course especially if they cannot speed up play.

Green just aerated but no warning

Hello,

I must say that I am very disappointed with this golf course. When they charge you 100$ for a tee time week day you expect top quality. And that was just sosie. Greens had been aerated so impossible to putt anything. If at least you know ok! But nobody told me. In my country when the greens have been aerated they. Announce it to their customers and they usually give a discount to show their respect to their customers. Respect is part of golf spirit. Obviously they don’t know what it means there.

Wow, that is disappointing to hear. They definitely should mention that and give a heads up. Respect from all parties in golf is a must, like you said.

Great course

This course is awesome. It was my first time playing the Bay course and it really fun. Most holes are straight and pretty wide open, which is good for a beginner like me. The conditions were a little soggy due to recent rain, but it did not really impact much. I would high recommend this course.

The course condition was surprisingly good and the green speed was exceptionally fast. I have never played any courses that has this fast green in winter. The course will not disappoint you.
