Re: Courses in Atlantic City, N.J.??

. . .Four of us at work are planning a 4 day weekend at Atlantic City some time this summer. I've already looked at a brochure of available courses and they look great! Any recommendations out there?

Thanks!

Hey B-17,

Played up in AC a few times.

For an old style parkland Donald Ross course, Seaview is probably your best bet for a "golden age" style course.

For a more modern course, try Sand Barrens and Twisted Dune. Both are great courses.

Tom Doak renovated the William Flynn-designed Atlantic City Country Club, but the slope suggests it will be about as challenging as Seaview (Twisted Dune is a real bear).

Anyway good luck and let me know if you play around CP and the area. I'll be looking to check out Lake Presidential when it opens in about two months...

. . .Thanks for the get back! It looks like no matter what courses we choose, we will not be disappointed. What could be better. . .golf during the day, a long 19th hole, and playing black jack at night!!

Go Terps!! Gotta win tonight to have any chance at the Big Dance!

Onlything better is adding a steak at the Old Homestead in the Borgata. My wife plays (and sports a 19 handicap). Each year for our anniversary its golf down by AC (I echo the comments above on Seaview and Twisted Dune), a couple of cold ones after the round, Porterhouse for two at the Old Homestead and then some blackjack. Life is good...

we're doing a group of 8 to 12 down there in mid-may. i have a summer trailer outside sea isle city and go down almost every weekend during the summer. despite being down there constantly, we've never actually hit many of the nicer courses. our 4 rounds are at mays landing, sand barrens, twisted dune, and shore gate. where to play depends on what you want to spend, and don't shy away from courses further south, most of them are moderately priced, but you get what you pay for down there.
