Bay View 3/16/24

The Entire 18 Holes are Cart Path Only right now. Had I known that I never would have booked this round. We started almost 20 minutes late and it took over 5 hours to play!!

Bay View aka Summitpointe

Use to play this course frequently back when it was Summitpointe, Bay View merge resulted in broken promises, all money went into clubhouse and dining and not much different with course at all. Hospitality is still great but we were 45 min behind pace all day. Understanding why it's cart path only due to hills and undulations but cart path only makes this place unattractive. Bummed but guess some enjoy it. I leave it for others.

weather issue!

On February 14th at 12:30 PM, with three friends played a round at Bayview Golf Course in Milpitas, California.
There was a forecast that it would rain, but when we started, there was only wind blowing. The cart could not enter the fairway, possibly due to a problem with the fairway condition of the golf course.
Still, although there was occasional rain until the first 9 holes, we continued to play.
However, as the second half began and after the 10th hole, it started to rain. I decided I couldn't play anymore because the club was slipping and the slope was dangerous, so I stopped around 3pm and went back to the pro shop.
And I asked the staff if they could give me credit since I couldn't play due to the rain, and they bluntly declined and said that our golf course doesn't have anything like that.
When I called the tee-off customer service center where I made a reservation, the answering machine kept answering and I couldn't resolve it by talking to the staff.
I never want to come to this golf course again, and I want to know how I can get credit for teeing off if I don't make it halfway due to weather.

Extremely hilly course very difficult in the best of conditions. Recent heavy rain made the course almost unplayable. I'll try again in the summer.

Bay View - need course knowledge

The checkin process was very good, nice staff. We started on-time and pace of play was great (it was a Thursday) so we finished in 4 hours 15 minutes.
You really need someone in the group that has played this course to maximize your opportunities. Overall, we enjoyed the course and the conditions of the tee boxes, fairways and greens were very good.

Fair conditions, considering!

Played day after some rain the evening before, but overall, condition of the course was not too bad! This course is challenging, definitely not for beginners!

Fun course

Fun course with impossible greens. Sloped greens with bad pin location make this course challenging. Otherwise fun, pretty tee shots. Make sure you land close to the pin on approach shots and chips.

Narrow fairways and hilly terrains

Narrow fairways in the back 9 and very hilly terrains make this a very difficult course overall. Every time I come here, I lose a bunch of balls and my sanity!
