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.

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

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.
