Golf TournamentGet ready to tee off in style at Seaview Golf, the prestigious host of the United Official Golf Tournament. Nestled along the picturesque coastline, Seaview Golf offers an unparalleled golfing experience amidst breathtaking scenery and unparalleled challenges.
The Bay Course opened in 1914 and was designed by Hugh Wilson and Donald Ross. The 6,300-yard layout is less a test of length, and more a test of imagination, accuracy and short game. The Bay Course presents a Scottish-links feel, dramatic seaside views, deep pot bunkers and small undulating greens. It is the current host of the ShopRite LPGA Classic, as well as nine holes in the 1942 PGA Championship.
Step into the footsteps of golfing legends and experience the magic of Seaview Golf for yourself. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a casual enthusiast, Seaview Golf offers an unforgettable experience that combines history, beauty, and world-class golfing.
The fee of $300 for members and $350 for non-members covers cart, green fees, breakfast, 3 drinks from the beverage cart during tournament, boxed lunch, prizes, and deluxe round-trip transportation.
