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.

Winter Golf At Seaview

Played the Bay Course on 2/22-it was cold (40"s and windy, but gave our 4some a way to get some swings in before our course opens for the season.

I have played this course many times and this time It was a bit ragged, and they are doing a lot of work on the course, taking out trees, clearing brush, par 3 temporary tees, bunkers in a natural state, etc.

It was truly winter golf at a shore course, up against Absecon Bay.! That said, the fairways were in OK shape for the time of year and the fact we had had snow 2 weeks earlier. The greens were EXCELLENT for the time of year, with a true roll, able to hold iron/wedge shots and plenty of speed!

Recommend the Bay Course-Seaview in the off season, when the rates are truly a bargain!

Good Course

Great day, can’t control the weather. Brutal cold wind. Oh well. Par 3 tee boxes were tarped off, had to start those on some pretty rough shape driving range mats. Beautiful course.
