Tourists flock to Atlantic City's casinos in hopes of hitting it big at the blackjack table.
But AC-bound golfers who want to hit it big off the tee don't have to gamble. Superb golf in this,
South Jersey's playground, is guaranteed.
The Atlantic City area boasts some terrific golf courses, many of which have opened only in the
last few years. They include
Sand Barrens,
Harbor Pines,
the East and
West courses
at Blue Heron Pines,
Brigantine,
Mays Landing and
Shore Gate.
For truly classic golf, the Seaview Marriott, one of the world's top resorts, offers
the Pines Course and
the Bay Course,
site of the 1942 men's PGA Championship and the current site of the ShopRite
Classic, an LPGA event.
All of these venues are member courses of the Greater Atlantic City Golf Association and are
distinctive for their playability, excellent condition, strategic interest and scenic wonder.
There is something here to fit every level of golfing ability and budget.
But as so many travelers know, Atlantic City has enough to keep you enthralled for
days on end, aside from golf. For young and old alike, there is the famous Boardwalk with
its many amusements, and the expansive white beaches. Music lovers can hear ragtime
piano players in side street cafes or enjoy name entertainers at places like Harrah's or Trump
Plaza, and anglers will have a field day trying to bag big game fish. Meanwhile, gourmands and
shoppers will have plenty to choose from to satisfy their appetites.
And while all this Jersey Shore activity offers much appeal in the Summer months, don't miss
your opportunity to visit this wonderful destination in the Fall and Spring seasons as well.
Excellent weather suitable for golf is available in Atlantic City nearly year-round. Beautiful fall
foliage and refreshing breezes make for ideal course conditions - right into the month of November.
Then it's right back on the course again in March, to witness the emergence of the greenery and
enjoy the welcoming warmth of the season.
Any time of the year, excellent golf in Atlantic City is a sure bet.
