Bay View Golf Club

Greens are much better with the new management, but overall conditions are not worth the price. Go play cinnabar instead at this price.

Very friendly staff, Greens in good shape, aprons beautiful

Nice bunkers, great sand

Greens play tough, correct approach shot placement is rewarded

Some risk reward tee shots, as well as playing smart when driver isn’t needed.

The par threes require skill to score well, poor tee shots leave tough up/downs

Elevation changes abound, so be prepared to make adjustments to your distances

Great views of the south bay

They are trying to fix the course but until it is in better condition they shouldn’t try to get get over the top green fees. Even though the course was dry it was cart path only, wish this was mentioned up front, I would have passed. The course will probably be very nice in a couple of months.

Very difficult layout but well manicured and fun. Staff was great and a good time. Will play again. Played with my sone for Thanksgiving and they were very nice to him. Very nice range also. Good day.

Tee time at 11:12 but there was no cart available until 11:53 am . Very slow with a lot of hi handicap players .

it took ~ 5 hours to complete

Improving from its all time low in 2019 when it became a dog track. Re-brand and some decent money have improved the course, but it's nowhere near where it was 15+ years ago when it was a top course in the area. Still needs a lot of maintenance work.

For the money they are overpriced.

Could be nice but unfair.

Too many blind shots and undefined hazards.

Everything is good, except some places on fairway and green could be in better maintenance .

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.

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.

The course was in bad shape and the holes are not that interesting (except #11).

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!

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.

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.

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
