Terrible condition and pace

Terrible conditions beside the greens. Amazing there able to get people to pay north of 75 dollars for this goat track. Terrible pace of play as well. Will not play again.

Overpriced, Overbooked, Bad Value

Great club house and amenities. Course conditions aren't great, but not bad, the greens were in nice condition. Layout, rough and painfully slow paced of play just make it tough to justify paying full price. I would have been much more disappointed had I not gotten a hot deal. Not a terrible course, but if I'm going to pay $80+ I'll play any number of a dozen south bay courses before considering BayView.

First Time Playing

Challenge but fun course, be aware of mosquitoes

Played 9 holes in the early morning. Have been to the driving range couple times, and it is the first time on the course.

I walked the front 9. The course layout is fun, narrow fairways, all different up/down hill lies, which makes it challenge but fun to play. I’m a high handicap player but really enjoyed my round, and got +9 which is way beyond my expectation. Don’t play aggressive and you will have a good score here. I recommend average to high handicap player to try this course for learning course management. You don’t have to hit long to get good score here. I throw my driver away and teed up with 5/7 wood and 3 driving iron at par4 with good result.

Tee box and greens are well maintained. Bunker is also decent as well with plenty amount of sand. My only complain is that there are too much mosquitoes. I had repellent and wear wristband but doesn’t work.

A skill builder

Challenges your skills, you may lose a few golf balls, but rewarding course when you can beat your own expectations.

Like many places at this time of year, there are some muddy spots on fairways so be kind to the course and obey the rules. Also fix your ball marks on the greens every time!!

Good/average

Somehow, quite crowded on Friday morning. Slow pace, 4 hrs 40 min.

Course condition is decent. Tee boxes are quite worn, need attention and fixes. Fairways overall are pretty good. Greens are very slow (maybe too much watering in the morning).

Can’t reschedule

Tried calling day before to move tee time. They refused to switch.

I said, “you’ve been paid. And you have time to fill the spot. Why not allow me to reschedule?”

They said it was golf now policy. I logged into golf now to reschedule and could not find the reservation.

I paid full price. And played no golf. Unlikely to recommend golf now. Bay view is a decent little course but not sure I plan to return.

The modern world tends not to out customer first. This was evident last week.

Much improved

Very interesting and challenging layout. Being able to shape your shot will do you well here. The greens are much improved from when Bay View GC was known as Summitpointe.
