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.

Historic course

Site of many professional events, this course is challenging. Tees and fairways were spotty with areas of damaged grass. Greens were beautiful although soft and slow because of all the rain.

Horrible conditions, I rated it as poor because they didn’t have any rating lower than poor. It should read horrible

Awful experience! If you played this course previously, be warned, this is not the same course that the LPGA played a little over a month ago. NOT EVEN CLOSE!

I played this course, countless times prior to Troon ownership and it was fantastic. It’s so sad to see what this golf course looks like now.

I played yesterday and it was the worst conditions I have ever seen. Not only for this course, but for any resort course I have ever played.

There were burned out tee boxes with no grass, just dirt.

The greens were so wet that the mere act of walking caused 1/4” deep footprints.

You could see the mower marks on the greens.

The greens were super slow, my best guess would be about an 8 on a stimpmeter.

The fairways were super wet, there was standing water in numerous locations.

The bunkers were unraked, with footprints everywhere.

Save your money and don’t play here!

Should be better…

Atrocious pace of play - no ranger - no controls. No refreshments other than beverage cart, which goes in at 430. Expect more for the price. Course is good; greens slow. Not one bunker was raked - footprints everywhere and I mean BIG footprints everywhere. Should be taken care of better than it is.

Worst Conditions I have seen in Years!!!

I have been going to Seaview for over two decades. This is by far the worst condition I have ever seen the greens. They were furry and plush and did not roll evenly. We were very disappointed.

First time playing

Great course and layout but practice facility would not recommend. Expensive course to practice off of mats and then be charged for practice balls. Overall I rate it a 6 out of 10. Don’t change for range balls after charging me $160 a round!!
