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.

CUT THE ROUGH!

Maybe they are getting ready for the upcoming LPGA event, but the rough here made for a miserable round. The rest of the course is in great shape but the grass in the rough was so high that we lost multiple balls that were just off the fairway. Spent a good portion of our round just walking in circles trying to find balls in the rough or around the bunkers.

Considering the time of the year the course is in good condition. The greens have been aerated but they are rather quick and are coming along nicely. I always enjoy playing this course because I find the layout interesting and challenging.wind usually plays a role in shot selection especially along the marshes.

The two groups in front of us were slow. Considering the expected rain, they should have moved faster. For us, it rained at the beginning of the 17th hole.

Great track!

Seaview Bay was as good as a late-winter course could reasonably be!

Well Known Gem of South Jersey

Everyone knows the LGPA plays here annually. The course is terrific and always in good shape. What I like best is the pace of play. Hopefully I'm not jinxing myself but played in 4 hours every time I've been here. In the "off season" they have excellent "deals". In the summer (at least last summer), not so much. Hopefully they will offer some GolfPass Hot Deals in the spring and summer - as they do in the winter.

Good offseason rates, multiple t-boxes down

Played the bay for offseason rates, good value for the price, disappointing that multiple t boxes were being repaired and the only substitute offered was mats…

Shame on Seawiew!

I have played the Bay course dozens of times. It's my favorite in the Atlantic City area. Sadly, they have gotten greedy and overbooked with outings and daily fee play resulting in a 5 1/2 hour round. When we asked a staff member why the extremely slow play he was unapologetic and said it's our peak season... nonsense! The greens hadn't been cut and were a shadow of their normal speed. This is a great golf course, but if they treat their customers like this, our group will have to find a new place to play.
