Seaview Golf Resort
Golf Digest’s “Places to Play” The Bay Course which opened in 1914 is a textbook Donald Ross seaside course, which means it has a Scottish Links-style feel. The Bay course hosted the 1942 PGA Championship. It was during this Championship that Sam Snead won his first Major. The course features classic mounding, high-faced bunkers, plus small greens with subtle undulations. The Bay course is dramatically affected by the severity of the winds rolling off of the Atlantic Ocean. The Pines is more of a traditional course carved out of the Jersey pinelands. Designed by Toomey & Flynn and opened in 1929, the Pines course stretches nearly 6,800 yards. The course features tree lined fairways and a plethora of well-placed sand bunkers that require precisely struck irons and tee shots.

Golf Digest’s “Places to Play” Rated “New Jersey’s #1 Public Golf Course” by The Jersey Golfer Magazine, Twisted Dune is like no other golf course in southern New Jersey. True to its name, Twisted Dune is a links-style course of twisting landscapes, dramatic elevations and rolling fairways. Designer Archie Struthers moved 2 million cubic yards of earth to bring this remarkable design to fruition, creating a true taste of the Scottish Coast at the Jersey Shore. Deep ravines, towering grass-covered sand hills and well over 100 bunkers make this the most memorable in the region. Though fescue and sand are generous, so are the wide fairways, bentgrass landing areas and large greens. Twisted Dune offers a visually stunning golf experience that rewards accuracy and course management making it enjoyable for every golfer.

Wildwood Golf & Country Club
Driving into the seaside confines of WG&CC (actually located in Cape May Court House), one will find a tranquil, old-fashioned golf setting along the Salt Marsh wetlands of south New Jersey. Immaculately maintained, Wildwood is one of New Jersey’s best kept golf sercrets - a truly private golf course easily accessible from almost anywhere on the southern coastline where playing a round of golf in four hours or less is commonplace and expected. One would best describe the golf course at Wildwood as challenging, interesting and fun. The golf course will not torture you and is a fair test of your golf skills. In the 1950’s, Arnold Plamer, who was stationed at Cape May while in the U.S. Coast Guard, made several appearances on the links of Wildwood. Beyond the course, Wildwood Golf & Country Club is about family, friends and community - a setting where everyone is made to feel comfortable and welcome.
