Seaview, A Dolce Hotel

The starter was exceptionally rude to us, even upon arrival. No idea what happened to him today. We had back to back tee times with friends, and when one of the foursomes arrived 20 minutes early, he made us go to the tee despite no one being around. We did him a favor and did not argue despite requesting we wait and tee off at our proper time. Then, inexplicably on hole 14 came up to on us the green as the group behind us arrived at the tee. He demanded we skip holes and forced us to go to 17. We never held up anyone and that was literally the first time we even saw the group behind us. This man refused to accept he could be wrong, said our pace of play was horrendous (I shot a 87, when did bogey golf become so criminal? Absolutely awful service. I have never once been questioned on pace of play in my entire life. I could understand if we were a real nuisance on the course, I was chewing my sunflower seeds having a great round with my wife. The starter is the most miserable man-child in South Jersey.

I have never felt more unwelcome at a golf course. Not only do they not have women’s tees but then they came around to say we were taking too long even though 2 out of the 4 of us had to use different tees. The cart staff came around to us and said that our pace of play was too slow even though we never had anyone waiting on us. He then continued to say we were only hitting the ball 10 feet and that we had to skip two holes or go talk to the people in the golf shop even though it was closer. Our friends were golfing behind us and they did not make them skip any holes or harass them. The only difference being that we had girls in our group. If you want to feel insulted and discriminated against then definitely check out seaview!

Staff at Seaview are always professional, courteous and friendly. Very manageable course for intermediate golfers. Numerous large bunkers and tall grass areas are the major challenges. Greens, fairways all in great shape. For many golfers that typically play white tees, the Blue/White hybrid tees might be a good choice to lengthen the course and increase rating/slope. A little expensive for my skill level.

Two great courses and wonderful accommodations. I will def be returning

Have played here once a year for 3-4 years. Course is in best shape I’ve seen. Greens in perfect shapes. As the course name implies, there are lots of trees. Lots of scruffy lies, tall grass and bushes if off the fairways… so going to play hard if you’re not hitting it straight. Plenty of bunkers… most traps in good shape with plenty of sand. Electric carts are very zippy. Played an early round as a twosome in 3 hours. Beverage cart is reliable and starters, cart attendants are well organized.

I understand it’s been raining but the grass was not mowed on the boxes or the greens. The bunkers were also in poor shape and not raked. These are things that should be done. But I love the course and the layout.
