A great coat of paint

Having played it for over 15 years, I remember when it opened...I have seen it at its worst.

The new owners are definitely moving it the right direction...The first look from the clubhouse, it was an amazing transformation with the course looking amazing. The desk guy was ok in friendliness, the cart girl was super helpful and great customer service. The beverage girl was awesomeness.

The cart was super comfy and new tho the USB charger did not work, GPS was spot on.

The course has drastically improved but has at least 2 full seasons to be back to where it was when it opened originally. I see the potential!!!!

Pace of play was OK with not a Marshall in sight.

It will be awhile till I am back at the rates you are asking for.

Thank you for playing Bay View Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.

Bay View still Same old Summitpointe

The greens were updated and new carts other than that it's still the old Summitpointe, Crappy Tee boxes same old fairways. They do have a grass driving range that can only be used on the Weekends, how backwards is that. They said during the week you have to hit from the matts. They have a chipping area that says members only, but it wasn't busy and they didn't say anything when I used it. Still the same putting green area. Bottom line, it is still the same old Summitpointe with new greens and better golf carts, still crappy tee boxes and ok fairways

One more thing to add, I never saw a marshal on the course. So there was no one to move the slow players and the 5 some and 6 some that somehow developed, I could not believe there was a 5 some in front of the 2 some in front of me and the 2 some did not want anyone playing with them, there were other groups of 2 that were playing by themselves. There needs to be some control out there.

Bay view in winter

Was expecting better course conditions, but realize still Under renovations, was disappointed with GPS not allowing carts on the fairways. Prior notice needs to be sent out if play is cart path only.

No carts, huge back up

We arrived to a huge back up due to the wait for carts. In the meantime, several people walking had tee times that were moved up, delaying us even further. Started over an hour late and back ups on every hole. Despite the dry weather, carts were not allowed on the fairways, increasing the time of play.

We were just able to finish before dark, in spite of an 11:20 tee time.

The wind was so horrendous that balls on the greens moved yards away from the hole if they did not go in immediately. First time back since the renovation. The greens and fairways were much improved.

Jam-packed tee times

Absolutely terrible pace of play. We had a 1:00 tee time but ended up waiting until 2:00 to play because the tee times were spread only 8 minutes apart. When we got to the first tee, there were still 5 groups ahead of us waiting to play. Definitely not worth the $65.

Much better than the reviews, but pricey

Have avoided coming here because of the reviews of unfair greens and sloped fairways, and more recently the price hike since the rebranding a few months ago. However....yes, some fairways are sloped and the greens are challenging, but it wasn’t that bad. If you want flat fairways and perfectly flat greens, go to your local easy course. The challenge was actually fun. Also, absolutely excellent conditions on fairways and greens. Beat in the area. Tee boxes were flat and great too. The only downside is the cost. I’d say for $20 less, this will be a good deal. However, at $80 to walk on the weekend, I’ll reserve it for a treat every once in a great while. Lastly, warning, don’t walk this course unless you’re in good shape. Definitely a recommend for me.

Too many hackers who does not know the pace of play.

It took 3 hours 20 minutes play the front 9.

This course attracts some stupid players.

Also, the course is with cart play only. The last rain was 13 days ago. Stupid management decision.

It is not worthy to call its course bay area new premier course.

Beautiful views, terrible conditions.

The views are awesome, hence the name, but my excitement for this course stopped there. Decent layout which is fun to play but the turf conditions were very off putting. The walking rate was $80, the most I’ve ever paid for walking so I expected good conditions. The course looks like the grass was planted last week in many spots. Furthermore, the pace of play was terrible. 6 hour round for a foursome. We waited every single shot behind a group of 5 on a Sunday morning, ridiculous. I would only play here again if it was $25.

Walked

Great Course, I love this place but hate $80 walking, should be $60

I played twice in one week. The staff is very polite and nice. The food and drinks are very good, love the cheeseburgers. Never take the cart, twice the walking. Walking is a challenge but much better than the carts since the carts must stay on the paths. The greens are in great condition. the pace was perfect. My game was also perfect, like me. I wish the price was $60 for walking not 80.
