Bay View Golf Club

I know this course has had a decent amount of bad reviews, etc. but I didn't see that...brand new carts and a new tracking system at the range show some money is going in...the course is quite challenging and will easily accept golf ball 'donations' at many holes...all in all, quite challenging, pretty well maintained and overall was a good, but definitely challenging outing...go and try it....

I enjoy playing this course but you have to play early. The tee times aren’t staggered far enough and there is no official starter so it gets backed up quite early. Expect a 5-6 hr round as early as 8:30 tee times. The staff is friendly and the practice facilities are great. Tee boxes were in very rough condition.

This is a good course, everything goes better and better.not that much person here!

Worst course I’ve ever played 😠so many mosquitoes and I got a few bites that are swollen and itchy within the first 2 holes. The layout is somewhat confusing.

The layout of Bay View is unique. Some say it’s quirky but I think it’s fun. Built on the side of a hill most fairways have some severe slope to them. This makes shot placement critical as something that lands in the middle of the fairway will often run off.

Conditions are pretty decent. Basically your average muni but that’s not a bad thing. Greens roll smooth at a medium pace and the fairways have good coverage for the most part. There are a number of patchy and thin areas throughout the course but nothing that effects a well placed shot. Stay in the middle and you’ll be fine. Roll to the edges and you’ll most likely hit a thin or dirt area. Unused to play here a lot more when I worked in the area, and well, I kinda miss this track!

too slow and marshal does not work to keep the pace up.

Course has potential - but needs much higher TLC

Some may call me biased, but after flying my 5 Iron 190 yards pin high to 6 feet and sinking my first ever eagle putt I seem to be unable to recall a more beautiful course ever existing.

Very enjoyable round, great value for money. Comfortable high quality carts. It’s not perfect - some holes very close together, slow pace of play due to shorter holes clustered together - but for the price it’s a great course to play. Challenging slopes fast greens and lots of inclines on the fairways to contend with. A good challenging fun course.

This course is challenging but to be priced at $100 normally is not worth it. Definitely has the views of the bay but when you look at the fairways and teeboxes it’s hard to be pleased. A lot of people don’t repair their divots and landing in the fairway doesn’t mean you will always get a good lie. Elevation play is all throughout the course and the greens were in decent condition. Overall I see this as a hot deal place to play other than that I’d rather play spring valley down the road even though it’s not as challenging.

The course is better maintained than a few years ago. Both fairways and greens are in good condition. But due to its inherent nature of sitting on hill slopes, it still remains erratic and sometimes frustrating - you teed off a perfect drive but the ball just vanished or ended up down in the creek, and some greens are tilted about 25 degrees….. Quite a few holes are cart path only because of the steep slopes, which means you’d have to climb up there to take the 2nd or third shot. That’s fine for young and healthy legs but for older folks, good luck! And speaking about the gps controlled cart, I #%^* hated it, not because it restricts you to certain areas but because it sometimes just abruptly stops at cart permitted area. And unlike any other courses, they don’t allow you to drive the cart to load your bags from your car! Asked why and the staff just shrugged “don’t know “. Considering everything, it’s certainly not worth the money, at least not the standard rate. And the supply-demand law shows -it was only about 30% loaded at prime time on a perfect day.
