Not a bad course
Definitely improved since the time before last when I played pre start of Covid in 2019.
Appreciate the new owners putting in time to improve the grounds, updates to their on premise range and practice green.
Only thing that is a bit annoying but tolerable are the carts geo fencing. Go off the mark just a bit and your cart disables and you have to reverse to get back in allowed functional range. Not every shot hits the fairway so when you're just in the the rough furthest from the designated cart path the cart disables. Even if your ball is on the next fairway, I've seen golfers not be able to drive to it. What's the point of having GPS yardage on the cart if you can't park next to the ball? Understand limits and safety of course but the geo fencing on the golf carts could be programed a bit better.
Overall course has much improved and have played it twice this summer so far. I will likely be back and look forward to any new additions the owners add to this great site.
2nd visit
I had low expectations based on the prior reviews that I had read. I found the course to be in better shape than the rating stated.
This course is, however, very tough. Nothing is level. Every fairway leans drastically to one side of the other..
I just chalked it up to practice. Staff is just fine. The driving range could be better.
Nice way to spend a day
Course was challenging. The tee boxes very choppy. Greens ok
The pace of play was good till #10 then it goes to crap 5 hrs for the round the front nine 1:45hrs the back 3:15 no marshals no beer cart
Amazing views of San Jose
Strategic and rewarding
Second time playing here, this time in the afternoon with the wind. If you plot your way around the challenging fairways you will be rewarded with some scoring clubs in your hand. Conditions of the course are all around decent to slightly above average. Nothing superior but nothing to complain about. It’s a fun, challenging layout that has some creative holes that really make you think off the tee. Greens are receptive and hold well struck approach shots.
Pace of play seemed slower than it actually was
Course has nice views being on top of a hill and there’s a decent bar/restaurant to greet you afterwards
Youth Supervision
During our visit there was many youth participating in what appeared to be golf clinics. The groups of kids were being supervised by what appeared to be young adults or teenagers. They had very little control of the behavior of the kids. At one point a golf ball almost struck my wife and I on the driving range that came out of the simulator area. Out on the course we saw a larger cart taking 4 kids out to play a hole. The girls in the cart were yelling out We're going to die", because the instructor was traveling way to fast. The profanity the youth were using was also unacceptable especially for a golf course.
Other than that our experience at Bay View was great and will plan on playing the course again in the future.
Pace of play is horrendous
Our group was stacked with 2 in front and 1 behind from holes 2 thru 7. After 7 we went to the clubhouse to request a rain check and was accused of lying with the shop employee claiming we were on pace. 10-15 minute wait on each tee box is never on pace. Will never return with the amount of better value options in the South Bay Area…
Bayview is a good golf course - not well maintained
Bayview golf course is not well maintained. The bunkers don’t have enough sand. The tee boxes are uneven and fairways are not maintained well. The price charged - it isn’t value for money.
Unique and challenging layout
This was my first time playing Bay View. I was treated to excellent customer service all around. The course is a unique layout that requires you to think on the tee box. Fairways look generous bit have sever slope so there are preferred landing areas in order to have a clean look at the greens
Greens are very nice. They rolled smooth and held approach shots well.
Fairways were mostly lush but there were a number of brown and dead spots throughout
If you are looking for a unique layout to break up a parkland been there down that type of course then this is your place. But some might find some of the holes gimmicky. Personally I thoroughly enjoyed the track and will definitely play it again
Target Golf at its best
This was my first time playing Bay View. This course is built on a hillside and most fairways have severe slope to them so picking your landing spot (and hitting it) is crucial. It’s challenging but fun.
Greens had a good amount of slope to them. They rolled true and held approach shots
Fairways were decent. Mostly lush with ample coverage but there were a number of brown dead areas throughout the course.
Custo service was excellent. Carts had GPSin them.
Overall a fun experience and I’ll definitely play it again in the future.
Restroom closure, No starter no marshal
The course was okay when it's name was Summit Pointe. Now under new ownership, staffs are not friendly they don't know what they are doing. They closed restrooms even there were golfers. They gotta be improved.
Over- Booked
There was too many parties in the course on one time. There was a pair in front of us and a quads in front of them, was backed up most of the day. It’s really windy here so that comes into play a lot. This rolling hills play into the course quite a bit, you really have to be accurate with all of your shots. For intermediate to advanced players. If you are just starting out, pick a different spot. You’re going to be losing a lot of golf balls.
