Marshalls needed

The layout of this place is super fun and they keep it in pretty good condition. Unfortunately that doesn't overcome the awful pace of play. Took us almost 5 hours to get through 15 holes before we quit and went home. Didn't see a single Marshall, but we definitely saw the group with multiple holes open in front of them that was slowing down the entire course. My buddy took his clubs off his cart and pretended to be the Marshall and told them to get moving. This course needs a dedicated Marshall on each 9. Hard to play well when you are taking 20 minutes to play each hole, waiting to hit constantly.

Figure it out

Booking tee times at intervals that don't ruin everyone's experience isn't hard to do. Every other course can figure it out. Chrystal Springs, for one reason or another, can't handle it. 4 groups backed up on the second tee. Completely unacceptable. And that I'd pretty much par for the proverbial course at this establishment. Which is a shame because the layout is awesome and with better management and a new clubhouse this course would be a gem.

Cool track

Got a member for a day deal for 67 bucks on GN. First time playing here, and I enjoyed it a lot. Very hilly course. I think I only had a handful of shots all day that I didn't have to club up or down due to the elevation change, which you really need to respect because I was consistently coming up short on uphill shots. Beautiful views of the bay and SF. Course was in pretty nice shape, no complaints. On the first hole the group in front of us had a player take about 10 shots to reach the green, but they immediately let us play through on the second and we didn't have to wait to hit another shot until probably the 14th. Finished in about 3 1/2 hrs. Will definitely buy that deal again if I see it.

Fun track

Pretty fun little course. Greens were in great condition, fairways were nice as well. Played in 4 hr 15 min on Saturday before Christmas, so the pace of play was reasonable. It's a little expensive for the rather basic layout, but I had a great time.

Robbed

I have played Seascape for about 20 years and unfortunately will never be playing there again. I made a foursome with my golfnow VIP membership, which they say has cancellation protection. What they don't tell you is that you have to cancel via the website or app. I called the course to cancel my round a few hours in advance as something came up and I was not able to make it. A few days later I received email saying that I was being charged 180 dollars to cover all the four tee times. I called golfnow and they said there was nothing they could do besides trying to call Seascape on my behalf. I emailed the general manager and nobody ever replied. They literally stole money out of my bank account for a service that was never provided. I would understand if I had just not showed up, but I called with plenty of time to cancel. I have never in my life had such a disappointment when dealing with a business.

Fun track

Played this course for the first time since the remodel, and I was pleased with the new look. I had read a few reviews that said the grass was really fluffy, but I didn't really notice it being an issue. What was an issue was the wind, but that's to be expected with an afternoon round near the bay. Hit one drive through the green on a par 4 that said 342 on the card downwind, then hit 3 wood on a 200 yard par 3 into the wind and came up a good 25 yards short. I'd recommend playing in the morning, but it probably isn't a course layout that justifies the 110 dollar price tag. It's in great shape though an is worth trying out if you can grab a good deal.

Great Course

Love playing here. Always in great shape. The spicy Cinnabar sausage they have in the snack shack is fantastic. Good pace of play. Teed off around 2 and easily finished.

Great Course

I love both of these courses. Very challenging greens. When you can find a good deal a round at either course is not to be missed.

Bunkers need help

Love this course but their bunkers have been in brutal condition for a long time. Seriously need to bring in a few dozen truckloads of sand. Other than that we had a great day. Fairways and greens were in good shape.

Great pace of play. Only had to wait on a couple shots all day. Course was in pretty good shape. Greens seemed a tad slow. Bunkers were excellent. It was a great experience overall. I will be back soon.

Decent course. Probably the most wind I've ever played in. Course was in good shape. Staff was friendly. A little overpriced for what it is but a good all around experience.

10 minute wait for almost every shot. Way overbooked. Would have been a fun round otherwise. Course has some interesting holes. Clubhouse and parking situation needs to be remedied.

Great, but windy

Beautiful course in great condition, but the constant winds which I've experienced every time I've played here really take away from the playability. Nobody likes to come up short with a well struck 4 iron from 170 out.
