Bay View Golf Club

I used to play this course when it was Summitpoint and while it was never spectacular it was a fun course that was always fairly well maintained. What I saw today was sad. You check in and they just say go ahead. 4 groups on the first tee trying to figure out who goes where since there is no starter and no announcements from the pro shop. The course is beat up with some of the greens being decent and others looking like mini golf carpet. Most of the tee boxes were chewed up and one new one was built in the shade and was basically mud. The fairways were patchy with dead spots and weeds. Some areas were dry and dying while others were muddy and soggy. The pace of play was slow and it took a few holes to see the group holding everything up as they had almost 8 groups stacked up behind them. They didn’t have to fear though since there are no Marshall’s to enforce pace of play or any rules. Even the gps is lacking with just general distances instead of to the pin and even the air to clean the mud off your shoes at the end doesn’t work. Sad to say that this course looks beaten and tired.

I'm itchy as heck. 20+ mosquito bites with bug repellent applied from a regular in our group on hole 3.

The course is almost the same as it was before it changed from Summit. I actually like the elevation and tricky lies. But I don't think it justifies its price above a $100. Pace was no problem first times out, but the range doesn't open until like 630.

Greens rolled well, but the mosquito bites are constant... It's clear they did not treat or prevent mosquitoes and it's quite a big health hazard.

I made an online reservation for 218pm and I got there and they had a tournament starting at 2pm. They should have never booked me so close to a tournament I was waiting 10 minutes at each hole. Then the golf carts turn off and beep to go in reverse randomly all over the fairways with no signs. The staff was rude and not at all helpful. And the course layout has you teeing off right at other holes so you constantly watch out for ball hit toward you.

There is no Marshall and we went around 3pm. We waited for people before us at front nine. There is nothing you can do about this. After 9th hole, we noticed the party before us left. Possibly due to cold weather or they only planned to play front 9. People behind drove to our hole to tell us to speed it up that there were three holes ahead of us with no one on it. First of all,... we were with a party that was walking, second, our pace was only picked up after 9th hole. The moral of the story is,... the people behind us were extremely rude but this could have been avoided with a Marshall on site.

No starter, no marshall, and no organization. All this place needs is a management plan. They are redoing a lot of the areas which is fine but to not have a starter or marshall to ensure pace of play, you don’t have a “Golf Course” you have what it is. The course itself is no worse than any other public course out there. Everyone complains about the same thing and yet nothing is done about it.

Very challenging course . Good tee shots can still get unfortunate lies. Elevated and many changes in greens and tee boxes and many small fairways and landing areas. This is not a course for a 20 plus handicapper or higher. You will not enjoy this course. As a 6.5 I find it very challenging even with its short yardage and slopes. Greens roll smooth.

Very tough course but very beautiful and well kept

Bay view - it's not awful, but it's not great either. Can't hit woods on the driving range. Lots of side-hill lies. Very windy most days. Greens are typically in good shape. Weeds are very tall so if you don't hit fairways you're probably not finding it. Food is very solid. Quite a few elevated tee boxes and some nice views. No marshall to keep pace up or cart girl to keep spirits flowing. Decent value for what it is but if you're not a decent player you probably won't have the best time.

Fun and challenging. Some of the greens are super difficult. Overall, the course is a bit shorter than others so a lot of par 4 are driver and then sand wedge . But that is if you can find your drive that did not fly or roll off into a creek or a hilllside :-). Par 3 holes are fun and challenging.

Easy to lose golf balls. But that is part of the fun

Guy in the proshop if you can call it that . A converted awning garage bay with only medium golf gloves. The one xxl was one that id expect to last two rounds. No idea why they have the merch they have unless there was some sort of leftovers. They don’t understand their customers needs. Guy was helpful and took glove out of the package. The one star is for that. He had to inspect our cart for alcohol because we drove the cart to the lot to pick up the clubs. Weird vibes. Cart gps had a fence up so we couldnt enter any fairway. Called the golf shop and they said to exchange at the turn. That helped but the guy in the cart area had no idea we were coming and came out and we had to explain why. They dont talk to their own staff. The pro shop is 10 feet from the cart area. We had a really slow pace of play due to a group in front of us playing the back tees and hitting multiple balls. Really slow. No marshall to monitor pace of play makes this course a avoid after morning times are gone. No frills as construction is going on werent sure if food or drink was avail or not. Poorly managed course . Some kind of junior event going on with 10 minutes to hit every shot furthered the slow play. There are a ton of areas close to the cart path that have never seen a blade in their lifetime. Having a slight miss or a shot that runs a little past the rough you may not find that ball unless you step on it. Fairways and greens were okayish.
