Seaside Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Seaside Golf Club, considering the coastal conditions?

We always recommend late spring or early fall for Seaside. You'll find the winds are generally more manageable then, and the coastal fog often lifts earlier, giving you those incredible ocean views without the summer crowds. Be prepared for a brisk breeze no matter when you visit- it's part of the challenge and charm here.

How challenging is Seaside Golf Club, and what kind of golfer will enjoy it most?

Seaside is a proper test, especially when the wind picks up, but it's incredibly rewarding. You'll need to embrace the ground game and creative shot-making, as the links-style layout demands it. If you love strategic golf over brute force and appreciate a course that truly interacts with its natural environment, you'll have a blast.

What are the must-play holes or most scenic spots at Seaside Golf Club?

Don't miss the stretch from holes 14 through 16; they run right along the bluffs and offer breathtaking Pacific vistas. The par-3 15th, in particular, demands a precise shot over a chasm to a green perched precariously close to the edge- it's a true postcard moment and a thrilling challenge.

What should I expect regarding green fees at Seaside Golf Club, and do you have any booking advice?

Seaside isn't cheap- expect premium pricing, especially on weekends, but it's worth every penny for the experience. We highly recommend booking well in advance, especially for morning tee times, as they fill up quickly. Look for twilight rates in the shoulder seasons if you're trying to save a few bucks.

Any specific tips for playing Seaside, or recommendations for after the round?

Always take a caddie here; their local knowledge about wind direction and subtle breaks on the greens is invaluable. After your round, grab a drink at The Lighthouse Grill overlooking the 18th green- their clam chowder is legendary, and it's the perfect spot to relive your best shots.
