Originally Rio Del Mar Country Club, Seascape Golf Club is a classic 18-hole layout perched on the coast highlands of the Monterey Peninsula. Opened in 1926, the course was actually shut down during World War II when it served as a “victory garden” to help grow crops for the nation's war effort. After the war it came back with its new name, but old charm. The golf course is just a half mile from the Pacific Ocean, but it's largely protected by Monterey pines and eucalyptus trees that surround it. Seascape Golf Club features well maintained fairways, strategically placed bunkers and small, tricky greens.

Never received my Golfnow reservation

Showed up and seascape had no record of my reservation which resulted in marshall squeezing us in between 2 3somes of members which made a awkward first hole to tee off

Cool Retro Vibe

Plays short and wide, but bunkers are deep and greens are steep. Fun course with elevation changes, clever pin placements and a bit of risk/reward.

Tax Day Golf at Seascape

I’m a 6 handicap golfer and play at Seascape periodically. Reading recent reviews I was a bit apprehensive - due to recent reviews which suggested it was still to wet to play. The rough was US Open tough but the fairways were dry. They were a bit littered with leaves a freshly cut grass. I teed off at 7:00 am so the morning dew made everything superficially wet. The greens were shaggy long and needed cutting. I walked the course and was done in less than 3 hours. Things dried up by halfway through the round. I enjoyed the layout and found the conditions more than acceptable. Thankfully, I ended up in only one bunker. The status of most bunkers was quite poor and should be a priority for management!

Don't pay more than $40 for twilight

This was a good course! Enjoyed the ambiance and looking around at the unique houses. Course has character. Not too much trouble to get into. We got a HotDeal for $39 w/ cart at 12:44pm. We were able to finish before sunset 4:45pm (3-some).

They simply overbook this course and allow 5 somes

That is the only reason I can't give this higher marks.In the last 3 times I've played this course the rounds run 5 1/2 - 6 1/2 hrs and I don't see that ever being different unless you play during the week or first thing in the morning which I have not done yet.The course is fun but you simply can't justify waiting 5-10 minutes a shot,it makes for a terrible game and experience.Then of course why do they allow 5-somes with this problem?(I guess there reasoning here is there members and its gonna be slow play anyway)

Sanded Greens

The greens were punched a “few weeks ago” the re-sanded this week. The greens were barely playable. No notice on Golf Now and no reduction in green fees. Too many other courses to play in the area that will report conditions and/or discount rate - I will be playing elsewhere.

Sandy greens in a cold autumn morning

Teed off at 730 am was both good and bad. Good because no one was in front of me. Bad because it was coooold. I should have worn winter gloves and carried a portable heater with me. Also today the greens were very sandy so putting was impossible. I could not believe they had 2 tournaments scheduled later that day.

Bunkers & hole #3.

I played with 3 members today and they were complaining how terrible the bunkers are. They are all full of water and hard. They even discussed writing a letter and passing it around to the other members to get the course to add sand to the bunkers.
Another topic of discussion was why isn't hole # 3 a par 5? That would make the course a par 72 course. #3 is only 5 yards shorter than #18 a par 5. In doing so it would give the front 9 two par 5's and a total of 4 for the course.

Avoid Saturdays

We love playing this course - on weekdays.
We learned, the hard way, to avoid playing on a Saturday afternoon. The pace of play was extremely slow! How slow? We watched the 4 groups ahead of us play the par 3 sixth hole before our turn came up. The back nine opened up a little, but we were not able to complete 18 holes. Our 1:48pm tee time allowed us almost 5 hours of daylight to play - not enough for a Saturday afternoon at Seascape. A very frustration afternoon....

Another wonderful round

Seascape is a beautiful long course. It's well manicured and a blast to play. Play was a little slower on the back 9 but still fun. Great value for this quality course.

Tuesday Play

Had a great time playing this course. Each hole has its special unique design. Lots of ups and downs. It’s greens are some of the hardest because of the slopes and tiers. 3 puts can become normal unless you are below the hole. Love playing this course.
