Overview
Seaview's Bay course, a 6,247-yard, par-71 layout, has a similar look and feel to Atlantic City Country Club, playing along Reeds Bay with views of the distant AC skyline. Five holes use the marshland as part of their defense. Architect Bob Cupp should get credit for doing a nice job of restoring the original design started by Hugh Wilson and completed by Donald Ross in 1915. Like most Ross courses, the smallish, tricky greens make up for any lack of length. And like ACCC, a visit to Seaview comes with a history lesson: It hosted the 1942 PGA and has been home to the LPGA's ShopRite Classic since 1986. What was once an elite private club is now a 36-hole resort. --Ron Kaspriske, senior editor

Review
“Long-time host of the LPGA and once a host of the PGA Championship won by Sam Snead, The Bay Course at Seaview is a short, but charming Donald Ross design on the Jersey Shore. This is certainly one of the best and most fun public courses in New Jersey, but beware of the horseflies."
