The public, 18-hole golf course at Brigantine Golf Links is not only beautiful scenery and a great game it is also a National Audubon Sanctuary. Its layout has roots in Scottish golfing tradition. The golf course utilizes the natural environment featuring a softly rolling terrain and marshes as well as gorgeous bay views.

Like traditional Scottish Links courses, Brigantine is marked by nearly tree-less greens and the type of shot to take often depends on the wind. There are powerful sea breezes that affect the shots and bunkers that make for an interesting game. The smooth, rolling greens encourage a bump-and-run strategy. The scenic course's location close to the Atlantic City boardwalk and the challenging, but fun game it offers make it popular among tourists and locals of all skill levels.

Not worth the money

This is not a 61 dollar course in any day. We got it for 61 on a hot deal. Needs major work. Pace of play was terrible

Links

I enjoy the true links nature of this course.

The residential neighborhoods typically do not enter into play. The course melds with the surrounding natural setting.

The greens rolled true.

The staff was exceptional.

I enjoyed the attitude of the young man in the pro shop. He was all about golf, as it should be.

Course was in great shape but last year the course had directional sticks that were missing thisyear. They should put them back. There should be better hole layouts on the score card.

Don't Bother

The greens are a 10/10 (somehow). The rest of the course is a 2/10, and is uninteresting, in poor shape, and surrounded by homes (within feet of the holes). Play Twisted Dunes, Seaview, or Shoregate (amongst others) as an alternative.

Not Good Would Not Go Back

Arrived 5 minutes before tee time. My fault running late. I walked in was greeted by some snot nosed young man who said " Your Late Hop To It" Are you kidding me this 60 year old retired school teacher does not hop to anyone barking at me. The course was beat up to say the least . No golfers were playing behind us nor in front so there was no need to HOP TO IT.. There was soccer golf I believe 2 groups out on the course. They resort to this I guess because course is not doing well. So needless to say it was not a very good round of golf.

Just not worth it

I played here 20 years ago and my opinion is actually lower than the first time, course needs more maintenance money, gave a fair rating only because the course was wet and it was windy, houses are way too close to all of the holes, perhaps the owners should sell, it is not worth the drive from anywhere, better courses nearby.

WIll never return to play, disappointing.

nice course but short and creative, not very forgiving if you can't hit straight. Course was very wet but that is to be expected after the recent storms.

The course has some renovations taking place but nothing affecting play. Golf cart paths are and have been a mess. Pot holes, bumps and flooding.

The fairways are maintained well as are the tee boxes and putting greens.

The club house has a kitchen and bar but they’re often not open or available during hours the course is open. Today the staff was friendly and accommodating.

Brigantine Links Greens, wow!,

Great greens! Played golf for 40 years and these are in the top 4 greens I have ever played. Some interesting holes as well. 12, 13 and 15. Short course but still tough. You have to be alert.

Great Bring your wind game

If your in the mood for a true Scottish links golf course look no further. This all you'll want open fairways tough greens and the wind. You close your eyes and then open them and You'll think your in Scotland, forget the houses. I would highly suggest you try it out.

The greens on this course are in immaculate conditions. Unfortunately the same cannot be said about the fairways and tee boxes. I would be disappointed if I had paid the rack rate

Could be so much better

This course has a lot of potential but...it is poorly maintained. The tee boxes are worn out. Fairway rough is way too shaggy. A lot of crab grass has infiltrated the course. The greens are well maintained. This course could be so much more. It is in a beautiful setting but lack of proper maintenance takes away from the overall experience.

Worst Course Experience

From the rude staff at the pro shop to the awful conditions of the course to the mosquito infestation all over the course, this was probably the worst course I’ve played at and certainly not worth money they charge for a round. Needless to say I’d never recommend this course or ever play here again.

Keep it on the short grass

Nice links layout with a classic feel, but beware of the lush rough and wispy grass mounds all over this layout. The greens were receptive of well struck shots and rolling consistently. This course could really be a battle if the wind is up. I was lucky as it was just breezy enough to keep the heat down and make it tough flying for the 'skeeters and green heads. Some folks have complained about the "backyard feel" of this layout, but to me it was no worse than tracks in most of Florida so this was not a big deal. The only thing was those pesky 'skeeters and with the proximity to the tidal areas, these little guys really can't be avoided (and are not a deterrent for my return).

One and done.

It worked for us simply for the location, but the course upkeep wasn’t great. The cart person drove past us twice without stopping on a very hot day. Just seems the course try’s to benefit on location alone without putting in much effort.

I wouldn’t play here again. I’m hoping there’s better options inland.
