Harbor Pines Golf Club – Rated four stars with special “condition” designation by Golf Digest, this course could be the best public access track in the state.  With undulating greens that average 6500 feet, count on tough pin placements and occasional three putts.  With 12 ponds totaling 17 acres of water, count on a few drown golf balls.  Luckily there are only 2 water carries.  Most of the water runs laterally along the fairways to heighten the challenge and beauty of the course.  Designed by Stephen Kay in 1996, this course feels like Pinehurst. The course winds through 520 acres of dense pine forest with most holes so private, you feel you're playing each hole in your own natural amphitheater! It is so eco-friendly it is certified as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary. This is world-class golf with a focus on pure enjoyment. This is a fair test of your game. Hit the shots and you'll score.

Seaview Golf Resort, situated on 670 pristine wooded acres, is marked by gracious, friendly service and all the outstanding recreational facilities of a Golf Digest four-star resort, highlighted by two of the finest classically designed courses you will ever play, the Bay Course, designed by the renown Donald Ross, and the Pines Course. The facility has a history and tradition that rivals the best of the classic, old-style resorts that used to attract the "stars" of business, film and sports. The elegant hotel's reception area is strewn with vintage black and white photos of famous people who have graced these halls over the years.  The Bay Course – This masterpiece of Donald Ross is short, but very demanding.  It features all of the famed designer's trademarks and dynamic vistas of the bay on which it sits. Built in 1914, he took this flat piece of land and created a seaside links-style design similar to his favorites in Scotland.  They built undulating greens, fiendish sand bunkers throughout the course and several holes with water hazards. This classic old-style course has lots of variety with great views. Rich in tradition and recently restored to Ross’ original plan, this links-style marvel has withstood the test of time, continuing to challenge both amateur and professional golfers alike. It is also the home of the ShopRite LPGA Classic.  The Pines Course – Built in 1929 and designed by William S. Flynn and Howard C. Toomey, this course offers a traditional design and is super tight and tough.  Water hazards come into play on 5 holes, the greens are fast and the fairways are tree-lined.  Rated Four Stars by Golf Digest, this track is first class all the way.  The par 3s can be really long in the wind.  The course features a dozen doglegs, and every hole meanders through tall, thick southern Jersey pines. There are no gimmicks one often sees on modern designs, just pure straight-ahead golf. After a terrific front nine, the course begins to sizzle starting with the long, uphill par 4 11th. From there, you play the downhill short but treacherous par 3 12th, the 436-yard slight dogleg right 13th which features a landing area off the tee into a small valley from where the green is obscured by a rise, and two fabulous and very long par 3's in succession. The 468-yard sharp dogleg left 17th is one of the finest parkland par 4's anywhere, magnificent in its beauty and downright massive in its challenge. The modestly long par 5 finishing hole up the hill tops off one of the most enjoyable rounds of your life.

Twisted Dune Golf Club - In the tradition of Royal Lytham, St Anne’s Old Links and other famous seaside courses in the British Isles, Twisted Dune is a first class links even though it’s not on the ocean. Laid out through rolling sand dunes and almost devoid of trees it’s easy to forget you are just minutes away from the action in Atlantic City, and not tucked away deep in the Scottish Highlands. The layout of Twisted Dune takes into account the factor the wind will play on the course and allows the player the option of running the ball up or flying it onto the greens.  This tests the player’s ability with shots seldom called for on ordinary courses. The bent grass turf that carpets each fairway offers players the perfect firm surface from which to strike a crisp approach. Sand dunes frame each of the generous fairways, but will test both the players’ skill and temperament should his ball find itself among them. Adding to the challenge on each hole is a host of fiendish bunkers along with carnivorous waste areas that wait to devour any ball that strays too far off line! A fearsome 7,336 yards from the championship tees the course has three sets of more manageable tees for the enjoyment of those not quite up to the challenge of the PGA Tour. The large greens, once reached, offer ample opportunity for birdies! With such smooth rolling surfaces the player has no one but himself to blame should the ball not fall into the cup.

Atlantic City Country Club - As one of America’s oldest and most prestigious golf clubs, Atlantic City Country Club has been home to many firsts, including being the "Birth place of the Birdie." The course has a tradition of fast and firm greens with uncompromising playing conditions and its bayside setting is reminiscent of the historic links in Scotland and Ireland, it also features tree-lined fairways.  The terrain is predominantly flat and easy to walk.  However, elevation changes and a few hills will cause uneven lies.  The signature hole is #4, a 133-yard, par 3, featuring a scenic view of the bay and hotel.  According to locals, this is one of the oldest courses in the United States. 18th hole is aptly named for the Last Trolley that brought golfing guests back to Atlantic City. Players would listen for the ringing of the trolley bell signifying the departure of the last trolley. This finishing hole is a challenging Par 4 that faces northward and usually plays into some type of wind. Large fairway bunkers line both sides of this hole, so an accurate drive is required.  Players will see the prestigious clubhouse as they complete play. Six USGA Major Championships have been played at this legendary course. Walter Travis won the 1901 USGA Amateur Championship, after taking up golf late in life at the age of 35. In 1911, the Club Professional, Johnny J. McDermott, became the first American to win the USGA Open Championship, at the young age of 19! Babe Didrikson Zaharias won the first of three USGA Women’s Open Championships at the Club in 1948. Fifty-five Atlantic City businessmen put up the $7,500 purse and fans paid $2.50 to see the final round on Sunday. Don January captured the inaugural PGA Senior Tour event played at ACCC in 1980.
