Rating 72.3

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.

Tough Winter at the Links

I've played the Links many times. This was my first time this year, and it was clear that they had a rough winter. I understand that there were some areas that flooded during the big storm in January. There were patches where all vegetation had been washed away, and some of the traps were almost devoid of sand. But the staff is working hard to repair the damage, and all things considered, the course is in relatively good shape. The greens were in excellent condition, and except for some bare spots, most of the fairways were in decent shape. I'm sure that conditions will continue to improve as the weather gets warmer. Don't be misguided by the negative reviews. Just be prepared to move your ball from "ground under repair" and have fun.

Improvements underway!

I have played here several times in the past couple weeks and want to note that needed improvements are underway. Earth moving equipment is everywhere, some tee boxes area being address, lots of unplayable rough I'd being removed and overall improvements are underway. Looking forward to a new and improved course.

G.I.N.O. ....."Golf In Name Only"

I played this course in early March, under partly sunny skies and mid 60's temps. The clubhouse is pretty neat, the staff friendly, and the location unique. But that's where the positives begin and end. I get that it's early in the season and I really tried to take that into account....but other than the tee boxes and greens, the course is a wreck. The fairways were thready, bunkers devoid of sand, water hazards full of trash and the rough chewed up and muddy. I saw some workers on the course early on, but couldn't really tell what they were doing. It's kind of like when you let things go around your house for too long and have so many projects, you don't know where to start. Oddly, all of the flagsticks were sawed off to about 3 feet tall. I'd never seen that before and assumed it was either a fraternity prank, or had something to do with visibility against the backdrop of the adjacent housing development. The pace of play was excellent, as I was a single following a single...that is until the 8th hole, when a twosome magically appeared in the fairway in front of me. At first I thought it was the single in front of me merging with another. But I realized on the next hole that this was just two members inserting themselves wherever they felt like it. Now there were several open holes behind me to choose from, as the course was practically deserted, but they clearly lived in the aforementioned development that the course winds through. I waited on each hole until we made the turn and they were "gracious" enough to offer me to play through. I initially declined, as I said I had to stop at my car for more tees and my sunglasses.... And that was the last time they offered, despite me nipping at their heels for the next 9 holes. I finished in 3 hours, which is great for an average length course. But I could easily have burned through this in 2.5 hours without the wait. Will I be back??... No. At $25 for a Golfnow Hot Rate, I'd have been much better off playing Seaview. Lesson learned.

very disappointed

This was one of the most poorly maintained courses l have ever played. l played at least 60-70 courses last year and this is one of the worst. It was so dirty with trash and construction debris all over the course, every hole was covered with goose droppings from tee boxes to greens. The only nice part of the course was the greens, the were awesome. l would never play it again and l felt cheated even though l paid only $25 to play.

Great Greens

Early Morning Dec. round was priceless. I played as a single, and was the 1st one out. Done in 2.5 hrs., and that's pulling the pin on every green and actualy reading the green. That's what golf should be. I was warned by the pro shop that during high tide I might see excess water, but I didn't even notice. The Greens were in great shape, some of the best ive seen this summer.

Worth the Challenge

Playing this course for the first time. Was a challenge
to play with the beauty of a links course by the bay. Watch out for some wind and some homes by the bay in challenging your accuracy. Got this course at a great
rate but would pay more for the enjoyment. Definitely
worth the challenge!

Great local's course...

I was staying with my wifes family about a mile away so the course was very convenient to play for me. I purchased with teh deal of the day for 30 dollars, which is not a bad deal, especially since the area's golf is expensive. The course was in better shape than 2 years ago, but not "pristine". It may sound unfair, but most of it had to do with the condition the players left it in, The greens are actually fairly nice, slower than what i'm used to, but nice. Unfortunately it sees a lot of vacation play where people leave their etiquette at home and do not fix spike marks, sand their divots on the teebox or the fairway. I thoroughly enjoyed my round, had a blast with the 3 I was paired up with, and had a nice discussion with the starter. I have played here before and will again next time i'm down.

They desperately need a marshal!!

I try to play the course each summer fall when up this way. I've never seen a marshal or anyone on the course. Group in front were at least two holes behind, were throwing their clubs and actually driving carts on greens. I felt for the course super who is very nice and friendly and tries to keep the greens the best in at shore. The greens were torn up from spike marks and no one fixes their divots there. Again I feel for the course super who was talking bout these issues prior to my round. It's a great deal with golf now app but .....,

Unprofessional employee in pro shop

12:56 tee time arrived at 10:40 to entertain my guest from out of town,Asked the the man behind the desk if we could tee off early.His response was You have a cheap rate with golf now and you will have to wait till 12:56.Ok so we left and ate lunch at a place on the beach and came back at 12:40.We asked if there was water on the course to drink. His response when asked twice was You can get your drinks at the bar before you go out.All we wanted to know was is there drinking water on the course.By the way yes there was.We found this person to be rude. As far as the course is concerned greens in great shape however the fairways need some attention.

Slow Saturday round of golf

It took 3.5 Hours to play the front nine alone . There was no starter and no rangers to be found on the course When we mentioned the backup to the 'cart guy' he said there was nothing he could do. Backup was caused by a six some who went off at 2pm on a Saturday afternoon ! Also no clubhouse beverage service due to a weedding in the restaurant.

Great Course

This was a great to course to play on. It was pretty difficult to differentiate between the fairway and the rough from the tee. The food cart only had 3 bags of chips on it and nothing else. From the golf perspective I was never waiting to tee off, the course flows very well, and I look forward to playing at it again in the future.
