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.

Need 9 Hole Rates

Course was in overall good shape- rough was very long probably due to terrible wet rainy weather over past 6 weeks- bunkers had way too much soft, deep, almost unplayable sand. Green fees are too expensive for this time of year- they should have 9 hole rates after 1 pm- get cold and windy early from October thru April.

Terrible pace of play

Seaview Bat Course is a great layout but is totally oversold. It appears that events with golfers lacking the skill level to play this course are frequently booked (we played the course twice this week and both times there was a scramble event crawling around the course) we waited on every shot from first tee to 18 green which made the course impossible to enjoy - some tees there were 3 groups all waiting. I love the layout and the staff are great but will never come back.

Gorgeous course w a few wuirks

The bay course is fantastic. Great shape. No easy access to driving range (give yourself an extra 30 minutes if you want to hit balls beforehand) and they have to drive your cart over to the first hole. Amazing views and nice challenging course.

classic Donald Ross

The Bay course was virtually empty on a summer Sunday so it played pretty fast. Don't be fooled by the yardage on the scorecard....it plays much tougher as there us plenty of fescue to steal your balls.

Disappointed in SeaView

LPGA Site, disappointed from the practice area, rude bag drop men, “where do you think your going with the cart,” apparently adults can’t drive the golf carts across Route 9 to the Bay Course, 4.5 hour round on a Monday, we played the first six hours fast, then waited on every shot, saw the ranger in the 13th fairway after obviously people calling the Pro Shop, he said we were on time no sorry or we fixed the problem, Management needs some serious customer service training, greens were soft but fast, rest of the course was in rough shape, 30+ days from the last LPGA event doesn’t make sense to charge $160, I expected so much more from SeaView.

Bday getaway

The course was pricey but nice. Staff should warn players of horse fly issues though. We were attacked the whole time. A little bug spray is highly recommended.
