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.

Senior woman

I played with my husband. I personally like the pines better for me. But my husband likes to play the Bay one day and the Pines the next. My local course I shoot around 100. Distance is about the same 5,000 yards. Here I had a lot of 3 putts. Expect to add 10-15 strokes if you don’t read the greens properly.

A little over rated

Staff was super friendly and helpful. I had the first tee time and played with regulars, as a single. Greens were towards the end of repair from being punched, but still rolled OK. Overall condition of the course was not great. There's a lot of very patchy areas around greens. Fairways and tee boxes were average municipal course worthy at best. I'm honestly surprised an LPGA event is held here. Maybe conditions improve a lot by July. However, I definitely cannot justify paying over 160$ to play this course.

Par for course

I really enjoyed the course bunkers can be challenging especially the 17th hole whish is pretty much a island hole surrounded by 5 bunkers that are deep. Not to fond of hitting off mats on a par 3 which makes no sense, when I can use a iron on a par 4 tee like normal. The course is well maintained and is cart path only this time of year so be prepared to do some walking. Staff is real friendly and is managed like a top of the line course for average prices which is always good. I rate it a 7.6 out of 10 overall

Winter Golf at Seaview

We had a great day and enjoyed a winter golf round.

Everything was in winter golf mode-par 3 tees were off mats, the greens had been aerated, and the rough was not consistent.

It was a cold day, the golf was enjoyed by all because the temps were in the 40's not 20's.

For winter golf this was a great bargain, with a discounted deal time rate.

aerated greens and disgusting on course bathroom

Aerated greens which was never mentioned

The on course bathroom trailer was shut down and the port-a-potty was disgusting with no TP

The greens keepers were following us around the course which I would think for a premium course the bathroom facilities would be reasonably clean and the grounds keepers would start on 18 and work backwards so the players would only need to interact with them once
