Seaview - The Bay Course
About
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 view of AC skyline. Photo submitted by Jerryjab on 09/13/2014
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.
Bay course
Bay course always in great condition..greens fast and rough is rough...very breezy day I played..crushed a 4 I on par 3 and came up 35 yards short..always a challenge....play it !!!!
Nice track
Greens in good condition. Few rough spots in fairways.
Seaside staple
Great layout, pace of plat (under 4 hours) and fair price for Donald Ross gem.
Tall Grass
Greens were perfect and views were spectacular. However, I am an 8 handicap golfer and I'd like to know golfers who enjoy playing on golf courses where if you miss a green by 1 yard or hit near a sand trap you end up in two foot tall grass. I lost four balls in high grasses that were less than 1 yard off the green.. If you look at the picture on the front of the Bay Course score card (old time golf photo) the high grass is no where to be seen. Cut the grass! It may look great in photos but it stinks to play.
MINT COURSE!!!!!!
From central mass. Exellent place to play, great pace 4 hours exactly. Easy scoring course if you don’t get in junk lol
Nice Course
Nice course. Very playable as long as you keep your ball in play. 4.5 hour round is the norm. Small, speedy greens. Rough was pretty long and penal. Fescue is basically an automatic stroke and it’s around most greens and fairways but course is short so if you keep the ball in play you can score. Played at discounted price of $49 on Golf Now. Wouldn’t play it for over $100.
Great round at Seaview Bay Course!
We had a terrific round at Seaview today. The course was in great shape and we finished the round in four hours. The pace of play was fabulous for a public course. We did not wait on anyone, and we had no one pushing us. After the round we went inside to the Grill and had crabcakes sandwiches, which I would also recommend. We will definitely be back to play another round at Seaview!
Nice course
Great course in very nice condition. Layout is nice with some awesome views. Watch for the fescue, it’s a ball eater. The pace of play was my only issue. The foursome in front of us was painfully slow. Finally on the 10th hole a ranger came out and said something to them ( they were 2 holes behind ). Told us to call clubhouse if they did not pickup pace. Called twice and no one answered the phone , left a message and never saw the ranger again. Hopefully this is not the standard
