Bay View Golf Club

The course layout is not daunting from a length standpoint and there’s plenty of doglegs that traverse the hilly valleys. You will have lots of uphill, downhill and sideways shots on almost every hole. The course conditions are absolutely better after going throughout the upgrades and naturally the price point has tripled as a result. Staff was very friendly and they do have the best golf carts I’ve ever driven. GPS, Blu tooth, lounge chair like seats and coolers to keep your drinks ice cold. The bar service was good too with pretzel buns for their hot dogs. I was given a voucher for a free walking round after 2p and a free hot dog upon check in.

You should know that the greens here will be the most difficult you’ve faced. Even before the course upgrade, the greens were always ridiculously tough. You need to be below the hole. I’m not exaggerating about the US Open title. If you’re above the hole, you will find it impossible almost every time. A tap can produce a 40 ft putt. They are in great condition, firm and roll like it’s glass.

The course is fun and gives you so many shot varieties from tee to green. Just don’t let the tough greens get you down. You’ll just have more stories to tell that people won’t believe. My playing partners both made putts after their ball fell in backwards from a foot above the hole. You just have to see it to believe it.
