Where the play continues well into the night.

Dear Golfer,

The expression, “I’ve got a ‘game’ at the club tomorrow,” might sound a
bit odd to the untrained ear, but it means just that. Golf is something fun:
Something to be enjoyed — something on which you can bet...and win.

As it is defined, this “activity providing entertainment or amusement”
certainly has to rank it up there with the best of them. This is especially true
as it applies to the masses. Most anyone can play the game at some level no
matter his or her age and have lots of fun doing it.

So why not, when opting for your next golf vacation, head to the city where
gaming has been pumping through its veins for decades? That center of the
gaming universe is known as Atlantic City, a vibrant city located on Absecon
Island in southern New Jersey.

Fact is, the real stars come out at daybreak in Atlantic City.

For all the glitz and glimmer of the high-rise gambling casinos that light up
the night across this unique Atlantic Ocean-side city, there’s another side to
the destination —a daylight version beyond the reimagined world-famous
boardwalk and beaches. Sprawled across its tranquil surroundings are no less
than 17 artfully-crafted and meticulously-maintained golf courses of all makes
and varieties. These layouts range from links style to parkland style to classic
gems to out-of-control modern marvels.

Whatever your passion, every golf course within the Atlantic City arsenal has
been ordered to deliver an experience that you will not soon forget.

Play AC Golf…where the play continues into the night.

Warm regards–

Garden State Glory

Ever wonder why golf course designers
are called “architects” and why golf course
caretakers are known as “superintendents?”
That’s because golf is a special game with
special needs. The courses you play are big-
budget, finely-manicured works of art. The
canvasses they require have to be inviting,
exciting and delighting.

Turns out, these are just some of the
ingredients that make a destination like
Atlantic City so exceptional. And that’s why
it’s time for all those who haven’t played golf
in Southern Jersey in a while to return for
something fresh and new.

History is a big part of the fabric that makes
up the golf landscape that slaps up hard
against the Atlantic Ocean. Some of the
earliest competitors from the United States
heading for the British Open tuned up their
games at the links course at Brigantine.
Legends like Walter Hagen and Harry Vardon
at Brigantine, Ben Hogan at Atlantic City
Country Club, Sam Snead at Seaview Resort
and Arnold Palmer at both Atlantic City and
Wildwood Country Clubs walked the sandy
soil of New Jersey during their golfing days.
And designers like Donald Ross and William
Flynn made it their goals to allow others to
fulfill their dreams.

Another course with a distinctly Scottish
influence is Greate Bay, a primarily private
club. Known for famed designer and one of the
game’s great original pioneers Willie Park Jr. (a
native of Scotland who was recently inducted
into the World Golf Hall of Fame), Greate Bay
is known for its private pace of play and fun
atmosphere.

Modern-day golf course architecture has
helped create a new manner in the way the
game is played in a region more known for the
blackjack table than the water table. Esteemed
designers like Stephen Kay, Ron Fream and the
duo of Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry have
found their ways to the New Jersey shore to
help spread the entertainment value beyond
the casinos, the boardwalks and beaches.
