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.

Winter Rates, Course on good shape.

Why go to Myrtle Beach when Sea View is open & playable. The Bay Course is in great shape for the time of year.

Amazing but replacement tees

What an amazing course to play for only $25. On a few of the par 3’s the replacement tees made the holes so short and the replacement tee boxes were just patches of mud and rough.

Oh that Donald Ross

Seaview Bay is a great layout. The fairways were so good that we hardly had to lift clean and place. Putting was challenging, the aeration was still effecting, you know, like a Chinese Checker board. The par 3 tee boxes were closed and the temporary tees diminished the holes. Hey, its mid January, I get it. Always friendly staff, cant wait to return.

Off season outing

This is a great place to play golf. The Bay course is open and forgiving for the amateur golfer yet is challenging. I can see why the LPGA has a tournament here. I was rather upset that the driving range was not open but I understand why. The want to keep the teeing areas in good shape for the prime season. Hint to members and guests, Use the mats!

CPO

Played the bay. Not sure it was wet enough for cart path only but it was cart path only. Greens were recently punched. Fast but soft and bumpy. Still don’t understand the CPO, 90 degree would have been much better. Had 2 temporary t boxes on par 3’s. Located very close and in the high rough.

Always a pleasure

We love playing here but the greens were aerated late in the season and still had the punch holes and sand in them Since we had played there approximately two weeks ago and had the same issue we think they might not recover this season. That being said, it would not keep me away!!!

Fantastic course and great value!

The course was pretty crowded, but the pace of play was very good, and even with a 1:20 start we were able to finish 18 holes(last one was a little tough)! The staff members were great from check in to end of round. The course layout and conditions were excellent, the greens had remnants of the aeration so were a little bumpy, but certainly playable. For the price it can’t be beat!

Great course but bumpy greens

This is a fun and challenging course. The only downside was the bumpy greens due to aeration holes.

Beautiful course

Played the course for the 1st time today in a Veteran’s Day outing scramble. The weather and the course were both great. Only problems were the bumpy greens due to aeration. Great views of the bay and AC! Tough but fair course. Will play it again soon hopefully!

Great course, great shape

We played through showers on a Tuesday morning with only a few people on the course. Yet despite the small crowd there were a lot of maintenance workers blowing water off the greens and fairways keeping the course in great shape. Would highly recommend.

Donald Ross Masterpiece

The Bay course at Seaview in Absecon NJ. Is a great old course that seems to be very much the same as it was when it opened in 1914. Probably just as difficult too. Only one hole with a water feature (not counting the bay) but plenty challenging with fast elevated greens, narrow fairways and I can’t find my ball rough. The bunkers could use a little more sand but overall you’ve got to use your entire bag of clubs and be surgically accurate with your shots. Shot 90 (it so good) but it could have been much worse and it was still a lot of fun and very scenic as well.
