excellent course

First time playing this course. A little out of the way from Boca but worth the drive. The tee boxes were in good shape, the fairways were pristine, and the greens were good.
Thank goodness for the GPS in the carts to let you know the hazzard locations. A few holes where you are almost forced to lay up but the 2nd shots were easy after that.
I would definitely return.

So disappointing

The staff is so “I hate this job” attitude. Not friendly at all. Made us feel as if we were bothering them.
The course looked awesome from a distance. Then you get on the tee boxes and you have to hunt for a spot to tee the ball. Crabgrass and dirt on every tee box. No grass to be found. Unfortunately when you get to your ball in the fairway it is the same, all crabgrass. The only thing good about the course are the greens. They were very good, slow because of all the rain but in great condition. Very disappointed with the whole day. To add insult to injury it took us the better part of 5 hours to finish and we never saw a ranger at all. Bad bad experience.

Very Nice Course

I work at Sea Oak's competitor course in Ocean County. I play Sea Oaks at least 5-6 times a year for a change of pace. This is a great course. Always in good condition, with a great staff.
There are some funny holes though. They do make you think, and depending on the pin position, you will have to make some choices. Always fun though.
Pace of play usually isn't a problem but like all courses there are some crazy days.
I would recommend Sea Oak's to anyone who ask's.

Thee Worse

Bad bad course. 1st fairway was the clue. All torn up. Then on every hole the trash was overflowing onto the cart path. The greens were the slowest I've played EVER! The pace of play was unreal and to make matters worse after 2 1/2 hours we made it to the turn and the 2 rangers were hanging out on their cellphones. The starter put out two groups of two instead of making them a foursome. We played as three and waited on every shot. Impossible to get into any kind of rhythm at such a slow pace. The sand bunkers were not sand but dirt to top it all off. Just a bad bad course. Not worth half of what we paid.

Great Course

The course is in great shape. Rough is not easy but fair. Fairways are perfect. People do need to fix their ball marks on the greens though Will def. play this course again!!

Great Course, Green so-so

The staff upon arrival were great. Set me up so all I had to do was pay my green fees and off I went to the practice range.
I got paired up with 3 other guests and we all had a great time. The course conditions in general were good, considering it was February.
The greens were in good condition but very unfair pin positions. But it is a TPC course. If your shots weren't within 20 feet of the hole you were in big trouble. A lot of pins in the front, next to the already false fronts. I hit several shots within birdie range that just rolled off the green. It was impossible to keep the ball below the hole.
Like I said it is a TPC course, and I WOULD play it again, just out of pride. Course knowledge would go a long way here!
After the round, again the staff were very professional and made me feel like a member. I will be back!

Hi James,

Thank you for joining us and for taking the time to write about your day! While our greens are generally faster throughout the winter due to weather, our pin positions should reflect that speed. We will be sure to pass on you comments to our Superintendent. We look forward to you joining us again!

Sea Oaks

The course is in excellent shape. Greens are very difficult due to extreme undulations . My only complaint is that I seem to always be left "In Between" club selection. Thats a personal thing though.

Great people work there. Course is fun to play. 16 hole is a treat. Course is usually in very good shape. One problem you may run into from time to time, is the pace of play. In the summer it can tale 5-5.5 hours. All things considered I give it 4.5 stars. Play it , you'll like it.

Super golf course

This course was breathtaking with its views. The conditions were perfect, the rough wasn't punishing, and overall a simply great course!
I have to say though that the greens were very SLOW!
I would definitely play it again!

Great Course!

This course was a pleasant surprise. I played it a few years ago and it was a mess. This course has come a long way in 3 years.
The fairways are generous, but the greens are challenging. PICK YOUR LANDING AREAS for sure. The views are pleasant, and the course is excellantly maintained. I will make this a regular stop.

This course is very pleasing to the eye with its Bay Views

Great course for this time of the year. Rates were very reasonable. It felt like we stole a day from Old Man Winter and the Bay course at Seaview was a great bonus. Very fair course, yet challenging. Course management a must. Some short par 4's and long par 3's.
The greens were maintained recently but still rolled fast.
Great course, and very enjoyable.
