Cape May National

C

ape May National Golf Club is a wonderful, enjoyable, and surreal place to play a round of golf. Nicknamed “The Natural” with a strange and sometimes other-worldly feeling of a bygone era. It seems to take you back in time, when men played in knickers and suit jackets and ties and ladies swung in long, wool dresses.

Cape May National is a natural choice to play a round anytime, and all year round.

Co-designed by President Robert E. Mullock, and run by his son, Director of Golf Zack Mullock, and other members of the Mullock family, Cape May NationPage 6

al is a picturesque par 71 uniquely built around a fifty-acre bird sanctuary just a few miles from Cape May. Home course of pro-emeritus, and Philadelphia PGA Section amateur, and professional, legend, Robert “Skee” Riegel(1914-2009). He was the winner of the 1947 USGA US Amateur championship at Pebble Beach and 1951 Masters runner-up to Ben Hogan.

Cape May National, with its scenic and scintillating mix of short and challenging holes is a top South Jersey golf course that loyal locals and golf enthusiasts love to try again and again.

SHORE GOLF GUIDE

Welcome to The Natural

Cape May National at dawn. Fog lifting. Birds singing. Waterfoal landing in the lakes. Huge bass leaping. Ospreys circling overhead then diving to capture a fish for breakfast. You know the golf course is great.

Just ask the pros. There are no houses here – just the perfect slice of one of the last preserved sanctuaries … a private sanctuary for you.

“Cape May National is like going back to see an old girl friend, perhabs the one you should have married. It might be the most beautiful golf course in the state.”

PUB LINKS GOLF MAGAZINE “Cape May National is on most publications “Best” list including” among the best eighteen holes in the Mid-Atlantic Region.”

TEE TIME MAGAZINE "Perhaps it’s a masochistic taste for a demanding golf course or maybe just a respect for a rough-hewn natural beauty, but Cape May National emerged as the personal favorite.”

THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER “Three of the top ranked holes in all of New Jersey.”

THE JERSEY GOLFER “South Jersey’s jewel is Cape May National Golf Club. The course flows through the superb mix of wetlands, natural grasses, mounding and ponds.”

THE WASHINGTON GOLF MONTHLY “Voted, Top 50 Best Places to Play in America.”

Atlantis Golf Course

As the only public and county run Fazio deigned golf course in all of South Jersey, Atlantis Golf Course has been a fan favorite for Atlantic City and Shore golfers since the 1960’s. Drawn up by the world-famous architect George Fazio and finished by his nephew Tom, Atlantis is a classic parkland, tree-lined Par 72 golf course measuring about 6,400 yards from the white, or middle tees.

Strategically placed ponds front the signature downhill 190-150 yard par 3 sixth hole, the par 3 eleventh hole, par 4 fifteenth hole and par 5 seventeenth hole.

Multi-tiered putting surfaces and the uphill dogleg 18th are other challenging features of the only full-sized 18-hole golf course in Ocean County. Just recently, Atlantis completed a major project by building new forward tee boxes. This project keeps Atlantis in line with the PGA “ Tee It Forward Program” campaign and also makes the course much more enjoyable for the average golfer. Atlantis is located in Mystic Islands of Little Egg Harbor near Tuckerton.

Chiropractic adjustments can help in relieving lower back pain that sometimes comes from playing golf. Acupuncture can loosen muscles, reducing the possibilities of strains and sprains.

Acupuncture can also alleviate complications of elbow pain commonly suffered by golfers. Located in Galloway, New Jersey, and just about a par five away from historic Seaview Country Club, Dr. Fred Chang has your back.
