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.

Seaview Bay course

First time playing in some time. Overall conditions were good. White Tee boxes need some TLC. Not all up to par.

Greens are a little bumpy since aeration holes not 100% healed. Still rolled nicely.

Course is not very memorable since many holes are flat and straight.

If you can get a Golf Now special grab it. Regular rates are overpriced.

Can't go wrong

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.

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.
