Seaview - The Bay Course

About
The Bay Course is one of two 18-hole courses that the Seaview offers. Designed by famed golf course designer, Donald Ross, it was the first course of the resort and it is also the more famous of the two. Over the years, they made renovations but it was eventually restored to Ross' original links design.
The greens are small and undulating and the Atlantic winds definitely play a huge role in the game. The 2nd hole is the signature hole with a yardage of 432 and a par of 4 that can where the ocean serves as a hazard. Seaview's Bay Course also hosts the ShopRite LPGA Classic.

A little over rated
Staff was super friendly and helpful. I had the first tee time and played with regulars, as a single. Greens were towards the end of repair from being punched, but still rolled OK. Overall condition of the course was not great. There's a lot of very patchy areas around greens. Fairways and tee boxes were average municipal course worthy at best. I'm honestly surprised an LPGA event is held here. Maybe conditions improve a lot by July. However, I definitely cannot justify paying over 160$ to play this course.
very early golf season late March
with 3 groups late march 3-30-2025. breezy and windy 9am ish & about 50 degree. condition and green pretty good for this time of the year. much better then PINE course. Pay $100 per player dynamic pricing.
Par for course
I really enjoyed the course bunkers can be challenging especially the 17th hole whish is pretty much a island hole surrounded by 5 bunkers that are deep. Not to fond of hitting off mats on a par 3 which makes no sense, when I can use a iron on a par 4 tee like normal. The course is well maintained and is cart path only this time of year so be prepared to do some walking. Staff is real friendly and is managed like a top of the line course for average prices which is always good. I rate it a 7.6 out of 10 overall
Winter Golf at Seaview
We had a great day and enjoyed a winter golf round.
Everything was in winter golf mode-par 3 tees were off mats, the greens had been aerated, and the rough was not consistent.
It was a cold day, the golf was enjoyed by all because the temps were in the 40's not 20's.
For winter golf this was a great bargain, with a discounted deal time rate.
My time at Sea View…
Had some challenges and the staff went above and beyond to help me. Thanks to Jennifer in the pro shop and the starter
aerated greens and disgusting on course bathroom
Aerated greens which was never mentioned
The on course bathroom trailer was shut down and the port-a-potty was disgusting with no TP
The greens keepers were following us around the course which I would think for a premium course the bathroom facilities would be reasonably clean and the grounds keepers would start on 18 and work backwards so the players would only need to interact with them once
Great Layout
Always fun to play despite the greens being aerated.
Greens Fees were marked down. Will be back.
Greens were previously aerated and terrible to putt on.
Poor green conditions
I should have been informed on the green situation.
Aerated No Notification
Bay Course is fine, simple not much to it and nice views of AC. But no aeration notice, greens unplayable, and they hosted a significant Junior tournament on the same day so pace of play was a little slow but not horrible. Feel bad for the kids and parents they should not have been playing in the conditions the course provided.
Aerated Greens - Pro Shop doesn't tell you
Book The Force in here Pro Shop did not bother to tell the screens were just aerated two days prior, golf now had no pop-up to notify you about aeration they said that the course has to let them know. Even the starter said the guys in the Pro Shop are not telling anyone that it's aerated. Complete rip-off Greens were terrible
