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.

Good, but not worth the money
It's a decent layout - above average I'd call it -- but not worth anywhere near what they charge. The conditions were acceptable, but not great like you would expect for the price you pay. Greens and fairways could all use a trim - fuzzy, unusually "sticky," and slow. Greens were surprisingly bumpy, even though they looked smooth to the naked eye. Tough to make any putts of substantial length and a lot of subtle breaks on the shorter ones.
This course seems very gettable if the wind is down - but if it's blowing, can be very challenging. Many of the holes are straight away, so you have to hit the ball well and on the proper line. The tall fescue grasses and mounds are very thick - nearly impossible to get out of. Beware of the flies. Very annoying and they do bite.
Bug bites beware
They sell repellent in pro shop for a reason. Constant green heads flying around. Wear it and they will only annoy you not bite you. Greens and fairways are excellent. Roughs are long. Waited 5 min on every hole to tee. Way too expensive for these conditions.
Seaview experience
First time foursome to the Seawiew experience and we were not disappointed. From the bag drop, to the golf course, to the pro shop staff, everything was first class. We will definitely be back.
Rude staff
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!
Always a good experience
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.
Wasn't what I hoped for...
3 holes are dog legs, the rest are all straight. Waste area (fescue) is pretty, but contains high concentrations of creeping vines in the poison ivy family. Purported views of the bay were unimpressive, (unless you're into wind farms and hotel buildings) in Atlantic city in the distance, overlooking what was marsh and bog area. Greens were slow. I played two weeks after the LPGA had an event on the property. Pretty short course from the tips, several blind approach shots and a couple blind tee shots. Tee boxes were in good shape.
Amazing golf course
So far my best golf experience in the AC area, if you're a decent golfer you can make birdies but be prepared to struggle in the tall grass

Great course! It was a challenge to play. Beautiful atmosphere. Perfect weather to be out in the fresh air.
