Not cool

With a Tee time of 8:57 we didn’t tee off until 9:30, only delay is from over loading the course we waited for 2 groups to tee off ahead of us at every tee box. It took us 5 1/2 hours to play this course. Never again

Golf cart rules are not fun

Course is hard enough to walk .. don’t walk .. cart gps rules are super tight so carts are useless for the most part .. so expect slow play but a nice pretty course and expect a lot of walking

Course was in fair condition

I’ve played this course many times and this was the worst I’ve seen it. A lot of The fairways were soggy as if the sprinklers ran all night. A lot of the greens had dirt patches and burn marks on them. Worst of all the pace of play was ridiculous. Our tee time was at 8:50 and got off twenty minutes late because of slow play and it got worse as the day progressed. When we got to the fifth hole there were two foursomes waiting to tee off and no Marshall in sight to speed up play. We didn’t see a Marshall until the 12th. Hole and the round took five hours and forty minutes. The staff was very friendly and helpful especially the girl taking food and drink orders.

Bad layout and fairway

Never played in such a battlefield with golf balls flying everywhere in holes 7,8,9. It's like hiking with balls thrown at you. The fairways are narrow and many restricted cart pathways which are far from the fairways. Definitely not worth the money at all.

Terrible place of play at a challenging course

Bay View is a beautiful and challenging course with speedy greens. However, charging around 95$ for weekend play with cart to play a 6 hour round is robbery. They managed to overbook to the point that each hole had close to 3-4 groups waiting to tee. The gps carts kept warning us that we were ~an hour behind in terms of pace of play and there was nothing being done outside of one hole. Truly frustrating to set aside 5 hours to play just to only get to hole 14. If you have a chance to play on a weekday, you will likely have a much better experience. Don’t bother wasting your time on weekends or holidays because they will overbook and milk you like a cow on a dairy farm.

Waiting game!

It was a low pace from groups in front and so on! We tee’d off at 12:45 for a 12:33 tee time and didn’t improved anymore during the game, more delays and waiting! Maybe it’s weekend pace and busy day!? But really frustrating was we didn’t finish the e game because of darkness!

WARNING: totally unfair course, never again!!

I've played many many courses over the 40+ years of playing golf and this course is probably the worst!

I don't mind a tough course, even some very challenging holes, but this course is SO unfair.

Hit off the fairway here and you can kiss the ball goodbye! Forget it looking for it, it is GONE! Why? Sloping fairways, very deep rough, heavy shrubs everywhere, etc. I'm not a touring pro, make it a bit more forgiving so people will come back to play! TOTALLY UNFAIR COURSE.

Formerly Summitpointe - 95 a round is a JOKE

Recent ownership change brought a new name, but this is Summitpointe. A muni course. For a few dollars short of $100. Drive another 30 mins and play poppy ridge or Tilden park for cheaper.
