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
Nice corse and in great shape.
This was my second time playing there. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My friend and I were pared up with two members that were real nice and their course knowledge was helpful. This course is wide open and forgiving. It is a little short, but with the strong winds we had, some of the shorter holes played a lot longer.
cold and windy
a great golf course that you can score well on, some of the sand bunkers were filled with water and the remainer were in need of repair, but it was december, the views of atlantic city and the bay are great, the weather when we played was windy and cold, nothing the course can do about that, the 19th hole pub is great food and drink for after round
Always a Pleasure
Great course and great views. Both the bay and the Pines are excellent!!!
What a great time
Everyone at this course is extremely friendly. They removed clubs from car loaded cart and cleaned clubs when we were done. What more could you ask for other than the fact you could see the bay and Atlantic City from the greens. WOW what a Great place to go. They really keep things up.
Fun fun fun
Course in great condition however rough was thick and the pesticide was overwhelming
Nice day on the bay
Considering course was airrated one wk ago I would say course played excellent.
great course with a great bay view
Perfect weather. Nicely laid out course. Hole #2 supposedly rated best par 4 hole by Ben Hogan. Play was very slow. Course conditions were very good, but keep the ball out of the tough rough.
Always enjoy playing the course.
Only major problem is at the start and finish in getting your golf bag/cart over the highway and back which must be performed by the staff.
Met all expectations
I had been wanting to play this course for along time. The whole experience was upscale from the Century old course, the views of Atlantic City, the amenities, and friendly staff. However as a high handicapper, who struggled all day with a bad slice, I could not fine the fairway. When I did find my ball, the rough really made it even more frustrating. My day ended on 18 by slicing my ball out of bounds onto route 9. If you hit the ball straight and avoid trouble, you will really enjoy the course. I do want to play the course again, hopefully I'll better next time. They really make you feel like a member of a prestigious country club. I did not have any problems with flies in late September like others have said. Some of the par 3 are very long 190 yards +, which makes this course even more challenging.
This course is a classic
Course was in tournament shape. Played fairly in a 20 mph wind. Fairways supported the ball high enough to not worry about the fats. Greens rolled true with lots of subtle breaks that made a birdie much valued and mostly unexpected. Bunkers in great shape to get a good club bounce. A number of par fours had too much rough to carry off the tee for a short-hitting forward tee player to have a chance to roll them out there. Loved it anyway!
Great Course
Well groomed - great help - moved ok for being a packed group of golfers
* when my wife and I got at the course the starter had us down for 4 golfers.........waiting to see if company that took my reservation charge for 4............I have a receipt for 2 golfers
Tough but worth it
Short but pretty challenging course. Keep it on the fairway and it's a piece of cake...in theory. The higher cost is worth the quality and pace of play. Definitely would play again.
Great course but overbooked
The course was in great condition and very challenging. The setting is fantastic with great views of the Atlantic City Skyline across the bay. However, this day the course was extremely overbooked and the pace of play was painfully slow. After 4 1/2 hours we had completed 16 holes and darkness ended our round.
Excellent.
Atlantic City view , course was in great shape. Will go back.
Course was in great shape
The weather was perfect ! Have played this course over the years and last time wasn't in good shape.. Said I wouldn't play here again but great deal...so went for it and the skyline views and condition were fabulous ! Would definitely play again..even though I love the pines course...just a beautiful resort !
Simply Awesome
Perfect weather, beautiful views, staff was friendly, helpful and efficient. As stated by another review, the course was like walking on carpet with a thick pad. Greens were receptive but still plenty of speed. What else is there to say? A few green head flies but we had spray. The wife noticed the pro shop had cactus?? bug repellent so if you forget, get some.
Course Beautiful BUT!!!
The course was great but the only problem was the golf carts. All of them needed brakes. You could not stop the cart even with your foot to the floor. This is the second time this year that I played the course where the carts were actually dangerous. We had a number of crashes into our playing partners carts.
Seaview Bay Course
What can I say that hasn't been said before? On the surface, this course looks like it would be easy to master. However, between the fescue, narrow fairways, challenging greens and various prevailing winds, it is certainly a challenge. I've played here a handful of times, and would happily return again and again.
My only complaint is the on-course restroom facilities. Really, it could have been better. Not sure what they do when the LPGA plays here-I would hope that they bring in proper facilities for the event.That's it though. The rest of my experience was more that I could have hoped for.
Very scenic but watch out!!
Beautiful course with some tricky greens. Played it under 4.5 hrs but was somewhat unbearable as we were eaten alive by mosquitoes. My wife and I left with no less than 15 bites each. Prepare with bug spray and youll have a great time.
Not equipped to handel the amount of golfer.
I arrived 45 minutes before tee time, wanted to hit a few balls before my tee time that was at 8:20.
It was full chaos at the bag station, no carts, they called our name 5 minutes before tee time and gave us a cart, we had to walk to the first tee across the Main Street, could only put before the round, when you wanted to talk to the bag guy,
he ignored you.
The cart girl was very nice, we wanted hot dogs, she had non, said she will bring some, got us hot dogs on the 17th hole,.
The course is not marked well, we played from the Blues, had a hard time finding the tees on the 5th hole, very tiet course, with a lot of golfer yelling 4.
Will not play there again.
