With a completion date of April 1, the Galloway, N.J., club’s project will incorporate new tee boxes on the fourth, fifth, 10th and 12th holes, which will add 150 yards in overall length to the golf course. Additional course refinements include rebuilding all tee boxes and tee surfaces, adding new GPS units in the golf carts, and redesigning tee signs, markers and in-ground tee and fairway yardage plates.
Stockton Seaview Hotel & Golf Club in Galloway, N.J., will complete a renovation of its Bay Course on April 1, in time for the start of the 2014 golf season.
The renovation project is designed to enhance the championship-caliber play for the game’s best women players during the 2014 ShopRite LPGA Classic (May 26-June 1), and to further add to the overall enjoyment of golfers visiting the storied 36-hole golf facility in the Southern New Jersey and the Philadelphia areas.
“For local golfers and golfing travelers visiting the area, Seaview’s championship courses, combined with its history of hosting not only the game’s best players but hundreds of famed celebrities, athletes and dignitaries, makes it a truly memorable golf experience,” said Kevin DeDonato, PGA Director of Golf, Seaview Hotel & Golf Club. “The course renovation will create a greater playing experience for the ladies of the LPGA, as well as golfers of all levels, and we are very excited that this project is being completed during our centennial in 2014.”
Seaview Hotel & Golf Club has hosted presidents, movie stars, royalty, entertainers and professional golfers, including some of game’s greatest players such as Ben Hogan, Gene Sarazen, Nancy Lopez, Annika Sorenstam and Betsy King, among many others.
Highlighting the Bay Course renovation are new tee boxes on the fourth, fifth, 10th and 12th holes, which will add 150 yards in overall length to the golf course. Also, the creation of a new bunker complex between the fourth and fifth holes will further enhance the playing experience from the new back tee on hole number five.
Additional course refinements include rebuilding all existing tee boxes and tee surfaces to create a more consistent playing surface for golfers; new GPS units in the golf carts; completely redesigned tee signs, markers and in-ground tee and fairway yardage plates; and new retro wooden bunker rakes and pin flags.
In 2013, the Golf Shop at Seaview was recognized among America’s 100 Best Golf Shops by Golf World for the third consecutive year, while also receiving a Platinum Award from the Association of Golf Merchandisers, which recognizes premier golf shops from the private, public, resort and off-course sectors.
Seaview’s award-winning golf courses and golf facilities are managed by Troon Golf, headquartered in Scottsdale, Ariz.
