Golf:
Just over the bridge from Atlantic City's legendary Boardwalk & Casinos, the barrier island of Brigantine boasts New Jersey's Best Scottish Links golf course, The Links at Brigantine Beach - a true taste of Scotland at the Jersey Shore!
This magnificent layout is extremely popular with both locals and tourists, offering impeccable year-round playing conditions, a challenging but fair layout, and extraordinary customer service. The Links at Brigantine Beach, the Closest Golf Course to Atlantic City, is a 'Must Play' for all visitors. Built in 1927 as part of the island's master plan, The Links at Brigantine Beach is unique in the Northeast with its Scottish Links design by Wayne Stiles and John Van Kleek. Brigantine's history is intertwined with the famed Scottish links courses of old. Local legend suggests that 'Old Pros' from the 1920s practiced at Brigantine before sailing for the British Open.
True to its historic Scottish roots, this layout offers breathtaking bay views, native marshes and gently rolling, nearly treeless terrain. With prevailing sea breezes and carefully placed concave bunkers, this 18-hole, par 72 course provides an exciting and ever-changing experience for golfers of all skill levels.
After a decade of renovation and upgrades, The Links at Brigantine Beach offers a wonderful golf experience combining modern day amenities and historic grandeur.
