Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Seaside for ideal conditions?

We always recommend visiting Seaside in the spring (April-May) or fall (September-October). You'll find the weather pleasantly mild, and while the coastal breeze is always a factor, it's generally less intense than in summer. Plus, the course is usually in peak condition without the peak season crowds.

What makes Seaside a unique challenge compared to other coastal courses?

Seaside truly stands out with its genuine links-style feel, where the wind isn't just a nuisance-it's a strategic partner. The course demands thoughtful shot-making, especially on the back nine where the ocean comes into play more dramatically, forcing you to embrace the elements. You'll need to master low stingers and creative recovery shots here.

Is a caddie recommended for a first-timer at Seaside?

Absolutely, we strongly recommend taking a caddie, especially on your first visit. Their local knowledge of the subtle breaks on the greens and how the wind truly impacts each shot is invaluable. It elevates your experience and will save you strokes, making your round much more enjoyable.

What should I expect regarding the cost to play Seaside?

Seaside is definitely a premium experience, so expect green fees to reflect that high quality. While it's an investment, you're paying for immaculate conditions, a world-class layout, and unforgettable ocean views. Consider looking into stay-and-play packages with the resort, as they can sometimes offer better value.

What's the post-round experience like at Seaside?

After your round, you absolutely must grab a drink at the clubhouse overlooking the ocean-it's the perfect way to unwind. The atmosphere is relaxed yet refined, and the views are spectacular. It's a fantastic spot to recount your best shots and commiserate over the ones that got away.
