Improving but still needs work.

For the money they are overpriced.

Could be nice but unfair.

Too many blind shots and undefined hazards.

The practice facilities

I come here (or at least used to) a few times a week to work on my game. They offer a grass range, which they do a pretty good job at maintaining.

The putting green and chipping green are also decent. Chipping green is kind of small, so can really only handle about two people simultaneously practicing.

What I don't like:

1. Range is irons only, it only goes about 200 yards deep.

2. No public schedule when the range is mats only. I go there to mostly hit off grass, so I get disappointed when I show up and the grass range is closed.

3. The reason why I don't go anymore is they raised their prices. $18 for large, $14 for medium. Not worth it IMO.

Poorly maitained

I paid $75 for the round on a Monday morning, which I think is too high for the quality of the course. Lots of people are still working on the course so hopefully it becomes better. But right now it's definitely under maintained.

Continues to Get Better

I last played this course just over a month ago. Since then, the improvements that the new ownership has implemented have started to take place.

I found several of the greens to be very challenging. They are slick. I was told that they are trying to slow down a couple of them that are more sloped than the others.

We had the first tee time of the day. Got our round in in just over 3 hours!

They have seeded a lot of areas that have been bare in the past. Once the rains come, these areas should really improve.

I came away from my round thinking how challenging it was and deciding that I need to play here more often!

Disappointed

Played with two singles on a Saturday. The greens (and pin placements) were unfair. For example: On a par three (13), one player had a 3 ft. downhill birdie putt. He just got it rolling, missed the cup, and ended up 30 feet past the hole. Other times, we had uphill putts and they ended up rolling back down past where we started. The course conditions were mediocre, at best. Bayview needs to improve on a lot of things, before charging $90 for greens fees. Rather than spending a lot of money on high end golf carts, it could have been better spent on the course itself. On a high note, the service was great from everyone involved.

New owner and new course name makes it too pricey

This used to be a fun, relatively cheap course when it was called Summit Pointe, but with a new owner comes new pricing.

Sure the new carts are great to ride around in, but the course conditions didn't improve, so it doesn't warrant a 30 - 40% price increase.

Nice knowing you Summit Pointe.

problematic details

I liked the course. It is difficult, but that's fine. It's also a course where some previous course knowledge could really pay off (interesting angles and some severe slopes). The greens at times were comically fast and difficult, but I actually had fun with that experience. The course is clearly still being renovated; I've never seen so many ground under repair flags in my life. That's perfectly understandable until the price is factored in. Also, the fancy new carts they have are just obnoxious. I'm sure there are great reasons for the course restricting access to certain areas (like par 3's) but my cart also stalled out and forced me to reverse while driving down the cart path, or when trying to observe a 90 degree rule. It needs some serious fine tuning. Overall, I'd like to play the course again, but given the other courses available in better shape and for a lower cost, I imagine it will be awhile before I practice putting in my driveway to get ready for another round there

Waaaay over priced for conditions and pace of play

Greens were okay and some fairly quick, but that was the end of the Good. Very wet and muddy in several fairways, rough was long and wet with lots of debris, almost impossible to a ball 2or3ft off the fairways.

A work in progress. Never played it when it was Summit Point. Greens were fast and furious. I never had a bad lie, but the course is still growing in. Food was good, staff was excellent. They are putting time and money into the course, well worth a look, maybe not at full price.

Liking the improvements but...

The improvements on the course are great. However it’s still kinda under repair. Still under the 90 degree rule. I betting that by spring of 2021 everything should be nice and green.

Mission

not a playable course, too rush to reopen It sounds like the course improved a lo, in reality it will take a long way to go. It is so tough to play in a place full of bare ground, fairway, green like unpaved mountain road. However, it has potential to upgrade, the view is not bad, could be a good place for hiking now.
