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.

The greens can make you look silly

The old-school Donald Ross greens were in perfect condition and devilishly fast. The LPGA is here next week for their tournament, and I have even more respect for their talents. There are many obvious hills and swales, but the subtle breaks around the hole are amazing.

Solid Ross Public

Only Donald Ross Public you can play in NJ. Views of the marsh / water/ AC are great.

Course conditions were good.

Bumpy Greens

The course was great- looking forward to coming back and playing soon. The greens were very bumpy and did not give a true roll. Anything beyond 8 feet was a complete crapshoot, as these bumps took the ball wherever it wanted to go. I'm guessing this is part of getting the course ready for the Shoprite event. Playing again in mid-May, hoping to get true rolls by then!

Find Somewhere else

Played here 4/21. It appears that the grounds crew is off until they close for LPGA. Greens were absolutely atrocious! See better greens in January and February. Bunkers not manicured and way too much sand. Place could be awesome and for the price it should be, it is not! If a muni were in this condition the staff would be (and should be) fired! Super should be embarrased!

Par 3s

Too much money for Pat 3 tee boxes to be closed down and several white tees on par 4 and parc5 WAY too far ahead. Disappointing.

Greens very bumpy.

I’d like another shot at this course but too many unknowns. Should have know about tee boxes ahead of booking.
