The Links at Brigantine Beach
The closest course to Atlantic City, the Brigantine is also one of the most famous in the state. The course is designed in classic Scottish style and features native marshes, tidal water hazards and rolling hills. There are open views of the bay from here and the course is close enough to the water that players can enjoy the sea breeze when preparing for their next shot. The course also offers a ProLink GPS system, a full-service bar and a pro-shop. This is a par 72 course, with a yardage of 6524 and a rating of 70.2. The black tee has a slope of 123. The other two tees (Silver and Gold) have a slope of 122 and 115 respectively. Just four miles out of the city center, those playing at Brigantine can enjoy hotel discounts to the top places in Atlantic City, including the Hilton, Caesars and Trump Plaza.
