I’m a member at "the view", there is no view to speak about. However there are alot of good holes with water on eleven of the holes. The new clubhouse opens in March so thats worth a look. But my opinion as a low handicap player? If you like smooth fast greens give this one a miss. This course has more potential then any course on the northern beaches but continues to stay as a B grade club. Very frustrating. Give Mona Vale a try the course over there is fantastic, and cheaper for social play. Or Long Reef.

I've played at Bayview around a dozen times as a visitor and always enjoyed my round.

The course is generally always in good nick and after all the ain over the winter in 06 the course is lush and green even now in Jan 07.

My favourite aspect of this course is the variety of hole layouts, too many courses have staight up and down holes that lack imagination, not here.

16 out of 18 holes has either a change of elevation, a dogleg or water in play, there is generally always something to think about and keep you interested.

The first is a dogleg par 5 with a good size creek in front of the green, that means only the longest hitters can attempt to get on in 2. The second is another dogle, par 4 this time has a good size water carry on the tee. The third hole completes a great opening stretch with another great dogleg par5, a really challenging hole.

It can be difficult to get a social play tee time at the weekend, after around 1400 it's usually OK.

I've played solo several times and often joined up with members and enjoyed a good friendly round.

Another nice touch here is that visitors get a beer or soft drink included in the price of the greenfee. The fee is comparable with other courses in the area and good value in my opinion.

Happy golfing!

Played bayview on New Years Day 06. Found the course interesting with several different types of challenges to cause havoc with your scoring.

The course was in great condition except for the greens which looked like they had taken a pounding from wedge approach shots and poorly reparied pitch marks.

The club pro stated that the club would start work to improve the speed and consistency of the greens.

Worth a visit to a good layout

My son just played the State Juniors and so I walked around. I was so surprised and a great mix of holes. In great condition, I'll be back for an Open Day. Recommend to all.

Today we played at Bayview golf course and found the greens slow and bumpy. The fairways and tees were in good condition and the general course layout is great with alot of water to punish the poor shot . The length of the grass on the greens was very disappointing !

This is a hidden treasure located over the back of Mona-Vale on Sydneys Nth Shore.

First couple of holes are okay then you get to the par 5, 3rd what a great hole with a dog leg to the right with water and out of bounds on right and also water to the left shot into green needs to be on the money as green is narrow and has bunkers around and also out of bounds over the back.

Then you cross over the road for the next few great holes coming down on hole 7 is amazing with dog leg to the left out of bounds on the right and don't drive long or you will end up in someones backyard like I managed, or in the creek which winds down around this hole.

The rest of the holes are good but 1, 3, 5, 7, 8 are my favourites of this course.

This is a good course worth the drive the pro Rod Brown was freindly and helpful.

The clubhouse is a tad of a let down compared to the golf course but okay..

Recent changes to holes 4 -7 have improved Bayview but for me it remains perhaps the most boring 18 holes on the Northern Beaches. The majority of the course is flat. Most fairways are straight and most greens are fairly undemanding.

There's a bit of water, though mostly it's not in play. The major hazards are the trees that protect the edge of many fairways.

Bayview is down in a valley and can get quite hot and sticky in summer. Few breezes seem to get onto the course. It's picturesque without any great views and the course is usually well maintained, but overall it's a bit of a yawn.

A lovely course that's generally well maintained. Some very good holes, although a little short to it's par over the whole course.

Accuracy, over length, off the tee is important, as well as thoughtfully placed approach shots.

A nice course that's worth a visit.

A picturesque golf course featured in the heart of the northern beaches. The course is quite a challenging dispite it being a par 71, with some long par 4's and 5's featured in both the front and back nine. Not to mention long par 3's that stretch well over 200m from the back tee's.

Since the re-doing of the 4, 5, 6 and 7 holes, as well as resent coring of the greens and manicuring of the fair ways, bayview golf course is looking the finest it's ever been.

One of Sydneys better public access courses... though there was some talk of it becoming fully private.

A fairly long course with some interesting holes. The 3rd is a shortish par 5 with a 90 degree dogleg on the third shot. Some of the holes in the back nine are a little similar; quite straight with reasonably wide fairways. Greens are good but the course sometimes suffers from excess water as it is quite low compared to the water table.

Worth a visit.
