Seaview - The Bay Course

So I'm not sure about the Bay Course. I haven't played it in a couple years, and it's definitely a good course. But it's not worth the $148 for a Monday tee time. They did give my son a junior rate of $35, but then charged him $30 for a cart. That was absurd. But the worst was the green head flies that constantly bite. We got so many bug bites, we couldn't wait to get off the course. Not sure when we'll be back.

I have played the Seaview Bay course before and had expected the course to be in better condition. The greens were slow (as compared to previous rounds), tee boxes a bit unmanaged and ALL traps looked like they have not been raked in days. The fairways were nice and rough well-kept and playable.

As this was a mid-week round and given the hot temps recently, I can understand the slower greens but the issues with the tee boxes and traps are not acceptable for a course of this caliber (and price range).

The staff was helpful, and place of play was great, which helped make the overall experience good.

It's a really nice golf course. But,There were so many bugs that it was difficult to play.

Had the first tee time of the day and got there 30 mins before tee time. Pro shop said we were too late to hit balls on the range, but wouldn’t let us tee off a minute before our tee time. Sat around for 30 minutes while the starter gave us the wrong pin placement. Once we teed off, there were flies and mosquitoes everywhere. Not once in our 30 minutes of sitting around did anyone mention that you might want some bug spray. It was almost unbearable for at least the front 9. Course itself is nice with well maintained fairways and greens. Bunkers, on the other hand, were a mess with footprints throughout. I won’t be back, but I could imagine others having a good time given the right conditions.

Golfed with my daughter and her boyfriend, their first time at Seaview. The course was in very good shape and we were surprised there weren’t more golfers on a holiday weekend. The staff were very polite and professional!

Beautiful course worthy of the LPGA Shop rite tournament! Grateful it’s a local course.

I played this course a week before the LPGA event so conditions were amazing and fairly difficult. Fast but consistent greens, and high fescue and rough that punishes errant tee shots. Overall a really fun course with great views. Was the 2nd tee time of the day so pace of play was excellent. Course is pricey but so was everything else in the area for Memorial Day weekend. Highly recommend checking it out at least once. I know I’ll be back to try the Pines course at some point.

Coarse wasn't in great condition, with that being sad I do understand they have the shoprite classic coming in a week and a half. And they have things there trying to prepare for. Hope they make it a lot better for the LPGA tour.

I’ve played this course for 15 years. There were always some difficult spots that had fescue, but only around a few bunkers.

This year the fescue is everywhere. And to make it worse the fescue is loaded with poison Ivy, creeping Charlie, and other weeds you don’t want to touch. So you can’t even look for your ball if you wanted to. Mounds that were cut down in the past, have not been cut at all.

The bunkers haven’t been raked in weeks. The conditions were pathetic. We play the same time every year and I will not be back. I think Marriott has cut back on maintenance to save money.

Also played the Pines the day before and the conditions were horrible there as well. Don’t bother playing these courses.

For the price, you’re not getting close to the experience you should. Tee boxes aren’t flat, course doesn’t drain great, fairways and greens are solid. For $200 there are probably 15 courses within 20 miles that are more worth your time. I cannot believe a professional tour plays here in 3 weeks. Place just feels like a total golf mill. Definitely disappointed.

Outside staff is fantastic and friendly. The course is in good shape overall, however the greens are extremely bumpy and there’s poison ivy in every high grass area off the fairways. For a rack rate charge of 179 a round I’d expect the greens of all things to be rolled and in great shape. Hopefully they’ll get on this before the LPGA comes in next month.
