Course Review / Comments

Hole: #1 – Title: Yea Begin, Yardage:  Back-450   Middle-428   Forward-366  Players are immediately challenged at Atlantic City Country Club by this straight away, challenging Par 4.  Players playing from the back tees will face a forced carry over water leaving a long iron approach shot to a well protected green. Tee shots missing the first fairway are challenged by deep rough to the left and a large fairway bunker on the right. The first green is protected by a deep bunker on the left and a closely mown collection area to the right.   Hole: #3 - Title: Major’s Favorite, Yardage: Back-353   Middle-339   Forward-301 Our third hole is a traditional, short Par 4 that requires a very accurate tee shot with a three wood or long iron and is guarded by out of bounds to the right and a massive fairway bunker strategically placed down the whole left side of the fairway. An accurate tee shot will leave the player with a mid to short iron approach. The third green is an elevated, well-protected green surrounded by three greenside bunkers. Players should be aware to leave their approach shot below the hole because this original green construction design slopes downhill back to front.   Hole: #9 - Title: Adirondacks, Yardage: Back-452   Middle-436   Forward-391 Our ninth hole is named for the comfortable Adirondack chairs located under the cedar trees surrounding the green. The ninth hole is a demanding dogleg left hole that is anything but comfortable. The longer hitter can attack the dogleg by hitting a tee shot over the large bunker guarding the left side of the fairway. A well-placed drive will significantly shorten one’s approach shot, but a drive missed left will be blocked by trees guarding the hole. The more conservative, safe play is to aim the tee shot to the right of the fairway bunker leaving a long iron shot to a heavily bunkered green.   Hole: #14 - Title: Salt Marsh, Yardage: Back-339   Middle-333   Forward-323 Our 14th hole is a short, demanding Par 4 requiring a forced carry over the salt marsh. The longer hitter can drive this green when the hole is playing downwind, but this aggressive play only brings more of the salt marsh hazard into play. A more conservative play is to aim left of the salt marsh leaving a short iron approach shot to a very undulating, two tiered green. Players tee off from a peninsula teeing area in Lakes Bay, affording all a spectacular view of the Atlantic City skyline.   Hole: #18 - Title: Trolley Back, Yardage: Back-432   Middle-384   Forward-334 Our 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. The 18th 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. The perfect drive should favor the left center of the fairway to help avoid large trees guarding the approach shot on the right side of the fairway. A player finding this fairway will face a mid to short iron shot to an elevated, two tiered green. The 18th green is also surrounded by large bunkers as well as a closely mown collection area. Players will see our prestigious clubhouse as they complete play.
