On the up and up

On a Thursday morning while just checking out the golfnow app, I came across a killer deal for a tee time in the next 90 minutes at Bay View Golf Club. Since I alive close and was available, I booked it. Got there 15 minutes til. Check in and loading up my cart was quick and hassle free. This track is always a great challenge. It seems that this course stays wetter and softer than other courses during the summer. It is quite hilly but the wetter conditions makes it less unfair. I have noticed the fairways and greens are getting better. The biggest difference I’ve seen is the fringe right of the green. They are all super healthy lush green color and the edges are trimmed razor sharp. Well done. By the 10th hole, there was only 1 other group on the back 9, so we finished pretty quick. The whole time I was thinking, maybe they should lower their rates a bit and their revenues would definitely be better but whatever. I shot a 93 but this course always beats me up. Can’t wait to play here again.

Really difficult

I’m an amateur, but I played with some really good golfers that found this course almost unplayable. So much elevation and slope to the point that it was really difficult to hit any form of a good shot. Additionally, the greens were lightning fast and it was almost impossible to keep a missed putt on the green. As I said, I am not a good golfer by any means but I shot almost 20 shots over my average simply due to the conditions here

Cart path only

$75 for an afternoon round at a course in worse shape than some munis. Tee boxes are basically crabgrass. Not the worst of it. $20 for a cart that’s so heavily restricted by their GPS it’s almost cart path only. If I wanted to hike 100 yards to get to my ball every hole I would have walked. $75 afternoon round is highway robbery.

Everything is on a hill

Nothing is flat. Tee boxes need some work. Pace of play is slow. Good amenities though.

BV Late Afternoon Aug

I hadn’t played here for a few years. I came back to check out the new Ownership and changes. It was nice to see bright green fairways and lakes with plenty of water. I have always enjoyed the course layout and design. I think Bay View has enhanced and brought out what most liked about the course. The views are still spectacular. The course still is a workout to walk up and down. I liked the out of bound areas mowed down. The greens are still fast and tricky. Solid course in which I hope maintains its conditions I saw today.

Good maintenance

it's a nice course and fun to play. shots need to be accurate as most fairways are tilted which may penalize good shots, though it's not very difficult to recover. the course maintenance is well above average in public courses and I hope the club continue to maintain it well.
