An extremely popular Atlantic City golf venue and the closest course to the Boardwalk is Brigantine GolfLinks, located on the barrier island of Brigantine just north of the city. This is a mostly treeless layout reminiscent of Scottish links. Though it is relatively short at 6,570 yards from the tips, Brigantine sports no less than 14 holes with mounds and water features. At Brigantine, the fickle and sometimes very strong winds will kick up off the bay and sea, making golfers work very hard for every par. The course opened in the late 1920s and has undergone several million dollars in upgrades. History has it that in the early days before out best golfers went over to play in the British Open, they warmed up by playing Brigantine.
