Rating 69.5

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.

Aerated No Notification

Bay Course is fine, simple not much to it and nice views of AC. But no aeration notice, greens unplayable, and they hosted a significant Junior tournament on the same day so pace of play was a little slow but not horrible. Feel bad for the kids and parents they should not have been playing in the conditions the course provided.

Aerated Greens - Pro Shop doesn't tell you

Book The Force in here Pro Shop did not bother to tell the screens were just aerated two days prior, golf now had no pop-up to notify you about aeration they said that the course has to let them know. Even the starter said the guys in the Pro Shop are not telling anyone that it's aerated. Complete rip-off Greens were terrible

Seaview Bay Course

I picked a perfect Sunday for our first trip to Seaview. The resort is very nice, the staff is attentive and the course was in great condition. I brought my Son and his buddy and this was their first time in a real 'club' atmosphere. They enjoyed the experience quite but bit, but they probably won't be happy at the local tracks anymore.

For A Troon Premium Resort Course The Course Conditions Were Subpar

As regular attendees to the LOGA ShopRite Classic, we have always enjoyed playing the Bay course at Seaview . Unfortunately this year the course conditions were not to the expected standards of a Troon owned resort. Approximately 85% of the sand traps had not been groomed for quite a while. When asked upon round completion by the cart attendants “how was everything today”, I replied regarding the lack of grooming of the sand traps and the reply was rather than an apology, a curt “we can’t control the conditions of the sand traps if the golfers don’t rake the traps”. That’s certainly true as well but grooming sand traps should be expected in a minimal basis when you pay $540 for a foursome.

Seaview Bay Course / A Delight

Seaview Bay is a beautiful, challenging golf course. It still holds the annual LPGA ShopRite Classic and the course is in great shape. The course for myself always looks deceptive in it's open design and beautiful surrounding area. It plays more challengingly than it looks, but always a pleasure to play. I like to use "golfnow or Teeoff" for their special off season rates which makes it reasonable $$ to play..

Fun course!

Great afternoon next to the Bay! Fun little course. Straight-forward holes, nothing hidden. Nothing really difficult. Greens are slow, bit ‘furry’. Back nine from Blues tees offers some unique challenges with a couple of long Par 3’s (193 and 220 yds) and two long Par 4’s over 400 yards.

Seaview Bay

I recently had the pleasure of playing the Seaview bay course, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The course was in immaculate condition. The greens were fast and true, rolling smoothly, while the fairways were lush and well-maintained. It’s clear that the staff takes great pride in keeping the course in top shape.

The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure that we had everything we needed. I can't wait to return!

Always a Beauty

Course is a beauty for challenge and length for this weekender. Staff very attentive and professional. Course conditions COULD get a 5 star if golfers would simply exercise ettiquette by repairing divots in fairways and greens and raking traps. Where has this courtesy gone?? Play here once a year and always a treat.

Better than expected

From Warren, Jim and Brent, the greeting was awesome. Let me get off early at 3:15 and.played as a solo in 2:35. It's been a tough summer and the tee boxes were a little off...very little but the fairways and greens were exceptional. Again due to the oppressive heat the super had the greens a little wetter and slower (smart move) but very true. Point and shoot. I can't forget the cart girl. Very pleasant and appeared frequently. Great overall experience and will be back. Thanks Seaview!
