Bay View Golf Club

We had perhaps the worst golfing experience at BayView on nov 24th - we booked at 2:04pm and was told that we had a20 minutes delay. It turned out that there were no gate keeper - so many groups behind out tee time played ahead. Once on the course - we had to wait another 12-20 minute for each hole - at one one time on Hole 3 which was Par 3, we saw one foursome just off the green, one five- person party was in the middle of fairway, and another five- person group was one the tee, and we just finished hole 2. It is I’ll-managed course with. 9-minute interval for each group, without any course management. Since we have to wait forever to play we left the course around 4pm after playing just three holes but paid $50 for each player. We never saw this KIEN of situation when the course was called Suumitpointe. Having enough, this would be our last play in this course.

5:40 round. Slowest round ever due to course management letting way to many people play that day. Given the poor fairways and bunkers, I guess that this overplay is fueled by managements continued overplay and poor maintenance. Was quite good last year. Could not recommend when you can play other publics for less and get a better playing experience

Never played a 5.5 hour round, until today. Management clearly allows ‘over-packing’ the course, which is in poor shape compare to 6-9 months ago. The driving range (no driver) was in terrible shape. For $95.00, one of the most expensive Publics around, you should behave better conditions and not have to wait 5-15 min on each hole. It’s too bad I liked this tough course last year. Won’t be back.

First time playing at Bay View and pace of play made the experience horrible. Literally waiting at each tee box for about 10 min while 1-2 groups ahead were playing and waiting at the same time. Spacing out the tee times more than 5-8 min apart is a necessity. Took over 2 hours just to barely get 8 holes in…the course itself is challenging and good if you know the layout. But overall not worth the money. Pretty sure most people don’t have the ability to spend 5-6 hrs to play 18.

I was surprised at what a beautiful place this was. Some of the fairways are pretty thin. It is a challenging pinpoint better hit your target type of course. The group in front of us were really slow, but someone came out and told them to pick up the pace and they did. They are able to track then via GPS and saw this. The greens were great. Lots of interesting holes. Had fun

First, the good... the food at the turn or after the round is great.

Greens are tricky but fair if you survey the territory.

My biggest complaint is the combination of the pace of play and the nennyware in the carts. I can't remember the last time I've played a 6 hour round. Actually I can... it was here two year ago.

Worse is that the carts continually tell you how long behind pace you are. We can see at least two groups in front of us blocked. If you have GPS on ca;rts you should be able to identify the laggards and those caught up in the backup.

I give a course two tries, but after two years the same problems persist. I will not come back.

Beautiful course, very slopy which make it harder to play, but overall, good experience for our first time here….
