About Seaview, A Dolce Hotel

Seaview, A Dolce Hotel, was founded in 1914 as an exclusive country club. It has a long history of hosting professional golfers, presidents, rock stars and celebrities. In 1942, Sam Snead won the PGA Championship on a combination of holes of what is now Seaview's Pines and Bay courses. The Bay course, a regular host of the LPGA Tour, delivers the views beyond Reeds Bay to the Atlantic City Skyline. The hotel includes 34,500 square feet of meeting and event space, indoor and outdoor pools, three restaurants and a fitness center. The historic charm of the interior feels like a trip back in time.

Did you let the Pines course conditions turn into Ocean Acres?

You need to improve the cart paths and rough holes /areas.

Bunkers still weedy and lacking sand

Great course, except for the bunkers full of weeds and dirt. Shame, just a little effort could make a big difference.

Not sure...

So I'm not sure about the Bay Course. I haven't played it in a couple years, and it's definitely a good course. But it's not worth the $148 for a Monday tee time. They did give my son a junior rate of $35, but then charged him $30 for a cart. That was absurd. But the worst was the green head flies that constantly bite. We got so many bug bites, we couldn't wait to get off the course. Not sure when we'll be back.

Course has gone downhill

For the premium they charge for this course is poorly maintained. Greens and fairways were in good condition but good luck if your ball doesn’t land on the fairway the ruff is very poorly maintains and we lost a ton of balls that were just off the fairway. Bunkers also need some serious work. Overall a decent course but not for the price they charge.

Bunkers = rocks, weeds, little sand

As other reviews have noted, the bunkers situation really detracts from the overall enjoyment of this course. I golfed with 3 friends who were down for the weekend, all made comments on the rocks, weeds, and limited sand in the bunkers. It's unfortunate, as otherwise it's a nice course.

Nice golf course with mixed feeling

Nice course with some challenging holes.

Mixed feeling about staff friendlyness. You are pressured to tip every staff.member.

Not enough parking space near the golf course and the practice range is too far away.. Over charging range balls($8 for 30 balls) and $30 for golf gloves.

Pines good, Bay ugh no good

I played both the Bay and the Pines courses. The Pines was for me, the best of the two.. The fairways and greens were in great condition despite hot weather. Stay in the short grass or your scores will suffer. Plenty of room off the T. This course has passed the test of time.

Now Seaview Bay Course, ugh where to start. First regardless of Deep Woods insect repellent we were devastated by the aggressive green heads an it spoiled the round. Cart paths are suppose to be crushed clam shells, thy are horrible to navigate full of deep pot holes and if it isn’t tied down it’s going to be ejected, poor maintenance. Greens slow and bumpy. Do the Pines, the Bay needs attention desperately.

Sand bunkers were terrible, otherwise nice course

The sand bunkers need to be addressed. Barely any sand in most, principally dirt it seemed. And many bunkers had weeds growing throughout. It’s really unfortunate, as the greens and fairways were in great shape. Tee boxes showed a lot of wear without much appearance grass was planted to grow back in the many divots, which is maybe understandable as the course has a lot of traffic.

Overall it’s a shame as this course could be great. Weeds in bunkers, and more sand, seem easily remedied.

Great course, sand bunkers need to be improved

I really like this course. Fairways and greens were in great shape, the tee boxes showed some wear as expected. The sand bunkers, however, really need some attention. Way too many small pebbles and rocks, some weeds in several bunkers (!!!), and frankly not much sand.

Pace of play was great, and we were able to drive carts on the fairways even though it had rained for several hours just prior to our round.

We played the Bay course the prior day. More expensive, challenging links-style course, but the biting green-head flies were BRUTAL. Even with 40% DEET we were attacked all day. It was hard to focus on golf with flies landing on you. They would attack your cart as soon as you stopped moving. None of our foursome ever wants to go back to the Bay course.
