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.

Great Day for golf

We had a fun round of golf last week. We played as a foursome with friends of ours. Our start time was delayed by 20 minutes, so unfortunately we did have time to play 18. It was still great fun and I highly recommended this course.

treat to play...

Great course. We had a ton of rain the day before, so the cart-paths were very flooded. Some of them were 8" deep - no kidding. One simple suggestion is to add some simple french drains so that the cart-paths can drain. The course was free of puddles though - which is most important.

A/C visit

Many golfers on both courses. Staff did nice job in getting everybody out to play. Some tees need a little work. I fixed more ball marks than my own. Pins were in some difficult spots but greens were rolling nicely.

Course is in great shape. A little water by the bay but the wind was blowing in. Greens are in terrific shape. Staff was super friendly. Gotta like wind though cause it’s windy. The carts are even fast! Only negative was the 5 some they let out ahead of the threesome in front of us that slowed everything down. Would definitely cone back.

Great course, Could not hold the greens

The course is a treat to play but the greens were like concrete and would not hold approach shots. They were fast which was nice, good shots were not rewarded.

I was in two green side bunkers one on 7 & one on 8. The sand was also like concrete.

Otherwise, the course is in immaculate shape. It was enjoyable but tough to score. If the conditions mirrored what LPGA players face, it proved how good they really are.

Great Day for Bay

Played it right after LPGA tourney and course played tough. Greens were fast, 20-30 mph wind gusts, thick roug. Had a blast with great playing lads. Pace was little slow course was crowded which was ok had time to soak in all the views on course. Drove 2 hrs from NYC to play was well worth the ride

Our group enjoys playing Seaview Bay Course. Greens were much faster than any of us remember, most likely due to recent LPGA event.

It gave us an appreciation for a snippet of what the pros deal with.

Not what it used to be...

Have played here several times over the years. Always in impeccable condition with a friendly staff. Things have changed. The greens were far from perfect. The rough is mostly crabgrass. And the cart paths are literally horrendous. A disaster. They are broken and littered with holes and huge breaks that were literally flooded although the starter told us it hadn’t rained there in three days. We were slightly early for our tee time so I decided to hit some balls on the range. I bought a range token and was driven by shuttle to the range. There were a dozen or so leftover balls In one of the stalls so I warmed up with them. The shuttle driver came back and said we could tee off so I never used the token. After the round I went in the pro shop to see if I could get my money back for the token I didn’t use. I explained to Jay in the pro shop that I never got a chance to use it and asked if I could get a refund for the token since I live two hours away.. He made no effort to hide the look of utter disgust on his face when I asked. It was incredible. He literally told me “no” like I asked him for something impossible. I told him to keep the $6. I’ll never go back to this place. This isn’t how you treat customers.

Great day with great views

The course is in good shape and greens are in great shape. The views were awesome on the bay. The greens are more difficult than the fairways. We had some steady wind which made the course challenging. Overall well worth it.
