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.

Beautiful course, well maintained

The course was in good shape. Beautiful day but the wind will impact your club selection. The staff was fantastic and extremely accommodating, advising us to choose the Bay Course due to the conditions. We were not disappointed, with great views of AC and a quality layout, our round was very enjoyable. Highly recommended, l look forward to playing again.

Great value beware of flies

We got a 55% off deal on golf now which made this round and absolute steal. We definitely would drop $70 for a round. And that is more than I usually spend. The flies were however awful. Bring plenty of bug spray. They bit through my high socks! Still did not put a damper on a great round just beware

Great Championship Course in AC

Incredible Donald Ross layout that hosts the Shoprite LPGA. Played from the tips since it looks short, but with the wind it would still be a challenge from the whites. The rough is very very thick so best to keep the ball on the fairway. Greens were slightly fuzzy, but still rolled very true. Great views of the AC skyline and nature. We played Atlantic City Country Club earlier in the day and thought it was a better track, but Seaview Bay is still a must play when in AC. The hotel is historic and beautiful. Will stay here next time instead of the Borgata. I highly recommend playing Seaview Bay when in AC!

Beautiful

We got a Hot Deal of GolfNow for way cheaper than what people were paying while just walking up to pay. I don't even want to say the difference. ALWAYS check out Golf Now before you book.

LOVED this place. Was one of the nicest courses I have every played. Not only for the reason of the golf that was played, but also because of everything it came with.

From getting views of Atlantic City's skyline in the distance, or the breeze off the bay, Seaview's Bay Course was wonderful. The staff was so incredibly friendly, and they were very well prepared to get golfers out there and playing.

The staff gives you a overview of the entire course from start to finish, explaining bathroom locations, pin placements, pace of play. The starter even offered us the Pines course if we wanted to play at a faster pace.

Overall, great experience. Course was in lovely condition and the greens were beautiful. They were riding around watering the holes, maintaining them the way it should be. Cart girl was on her game, making sure everyone was good almost every hole it seemed.

Play here.

Always a favorite...

Seaview Bay Course is always one of my favorites. It's much different that most courses in NJ and in turn plays very different as well. Winds were close to 20 MPH when we played which made it a little more difficult, and if you miss the fairway you're looking at a challenging 2nd shot if you even find your ball. Course was in spectacular condition (played a few weeks after the LPGA). I'm looking forward to my next visit.

slow greens

Great course just wish the greens were fast or even

close to how the public would prefer them...

Oh not too mention the darn green head flys

that were on the water holes close to the bay .

What a shame this could be a great place to play.

I will NEVER go back in July or Aug again.

No ranger

Followed the slowest foursome ever. If they counted strokes it had to be over 200 each. 2 guys took four strokes to get to the ladies tee. Even the lousiest muni has better pace of play

Beautiful but unfair

Beautiful course. Best greens in the area. My only complaint is the over abundance of tall grass. The tall grass ( not the rough) at times was less than 10 yards off the fairway. Made play difficult and slowed pace down since groups were always looking for their golf ball

The course was set up for the ladies tournament going on next week, and when I say it was amazing that kinda feels like an understatement. The condition of the course could not be better.

Greens

Last two-three years greens have been poor. Aerated over a month ago and still bumpy and soft. Basically couldn't get a true putt.

Putting horrible/Still enjoy the course

I have played this course many times. I usually have a great experience from tee to green but unfortunately the greens were not in good shape. According to staff, they were "plugged" a few weeks ago. The course itself was in nice shape but every green was very bumpy and frankly unfair to putt on. Still one of my favorite courses in the area but you may want to consider waiting a few weeks for the greens to improve for a more enjoyable experience.

A must play

I have played the Seaview Bay course numerous times and have never been disappointed. Everything about this course makes it a "must play" for anyone who loves golf. Besides the excellent course conditions, layout, fantastic greens and amazing views, it is an iconic venue rich in tradition and history. If you ever have an opportunity to play here, you will treasure the experience.

Great early spring find

Went to Atlantic City for a convention and happened to get some decent weather for mid-march so decided to get a round in. Didnt realize that the LPGA plays this course every year so I was immediately excited to play once I learned that. Some water views and a nice view of the Atlantic City from a few of the holes were very nice. Fairly windy which made some shots more challenging. Course was pretty wide open so plenty of room to spray it, if that is your game! Greens were terrific and in great shape for so early in the year. I was very pleased with my round and hope the weather next year allows me to play it again.

Spring Golf

Took discount rate through Golf Now. Course, especially the greens in very good shape for early spring in NJ. Par three holes al had temporary tees which was not made known at beginning of round and it was difficult to determine the exact yardage for those holes. Played in just over 4 hours - no waiting to tee off - group behind us was back at least one hole for the entire round. Beverage cart came by once per hour but no other on course amenities.

Best golf course in Atlantic City

it snowed on Friday and the course was closed Saturday and Sunday. I played on Monday and the course was in excellent shape for March. The fairways were like summer condition. It's always a pleasure to play at seaview using Golfnow.
