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.

Love the course especially at the rate we paid. When they raise the rates to $190 not sure it's worth it.

Need 9 Hole Rates

Course was in overall good shape- rough was very long probably due to terrible wet rainy weather over past 6 weeks- bunkers had way too much soft, deep, almost unplayable sand. Green fees are too expensive for this time of year- they should have 9 hole rates after 1 pm- get cold and windy early from October thru April.

Green and fairway grass way too tall, couldn’t tell the difference between the fairway and the rough.

Waste if money.

Terrible pace of play

Seaview Bat Course is a great layout but is totally oversold. It appears that events with golfers lacking the skill level to play this course are frequently booked (we played the course twice this week and both times there was a scramble event crawling around the course) we waited on every shot from first tee to 18 green which made the course impossible to enjoy - some tees there were 3 groups all waiting. I love the layout and the staff are great but will never come back.

Shame on Seawiew!

I have played the Bay course dozens of times. It's my favorite in the Atlantic City area. Sadly, they have gotten greedy and overbooked with outings and daily fee play resulting in a 5 1/2 hour round. When we asked a staff member why the extremely slow play he was unapologetic and said it's our peak season... nonsense! The greens hadn't been cut and were a shadow of their normal speed. This is a great golf course, but if they treat their customers like this, our group will have to find a new place to play.

Gorgeous course w a few wuirks

The bay course is fantastic. Great shape. No easy access to driving range (give yourself an extra 30 minutes if you want to hit balls beforehand) and they have to drive your cart over to the first hole. Amazing views and nice challenging course.

classic Donald Ross

The Bay course was virtually empty on a summer Sunday so it played pretty fast. Don't be fooled by the yardage on the scorecard....it plays much tougher as there us plenty of fescue to steal your balls.
