Located just minutes from Atlantic City, Seaview’s unique and historical resort setting is home to 36 holes of championship golf on two of New Jersey’s oldest and most prestigious golf courses. The links-style Bay Course, home to the ShopRite LPGA Classic, was designed by legendary architect Donald Ross, while the critically acclaimed Pines Course, with its scenic parkland setting, offers the inherent beauty of Southern New Jersey’s pine forest landscape.

Seaview boasts an unrivaled golf history in the region, having hosted presidents, movie stars, royalty, entertainers and of course professional golfers, including some of the game’s greatest players such as Ben Hogan, Gene Sarazen, Nancy Lopez, Annika Sorenstam and Betsy King, among many others. Most notably, the Bay Course hosted the 1942 PGA Championship where the legendary Sam Snead holed a spectacular 60-foot chip shot on the 37th hole to secure a 2-1 victory over Jim Turnesa and capture the first of his seven major championships.
