The Sunday Golfers

Atlantic City Country Club - #1 Public Course in New Jersey "Forget your opponents; always play against par." - Sam Snead (Played on July 23rd, 2018) The entrance of ACCC. Atlantic City Country Club is a public/resort golf course located right across the bay from the struggling shore town that bears its name. It is consistently ranked as the best AC Country Club was formally a private/resort course for golfers taking the train down from Philadelphia, similar to one of our favorite courses, Seaview, right up the road. Thankfully, it is now a fully public course where any golfer can play and experience over 100 years of golfing history for a whopping fee of $99 to over $200. (Rates vary on the season or time of day.) A lot of history at ACCC. AC Country Club has been in ours sights for a long time, but unfortunately, due to scheduling conflicts, rain outs, work, and other mishaps, we had a very hard time choosing a date where we all could play. However plan...

Running Deer Golf Club "The only way to win tournaments is with the short game." - Phil Mickelson (Played on June 5th, 2018) Running Deer Golf Club is a parkland-style golf course, located in Pittsgrove, New Jersey, and it is without a doubt, one of the greatest public golf courses in New Jersey. It is hidden away, deep in the woods, very far away from the main road you drive in on. The approach to 12, the number 1 handicap. Running Deer is run by Ron Jaworski, the former Philadelphia Eagles Quarterback. In addition to owning Running Deer, "Jaws" also runs Riverwinds, Blue Heron Pines, RambleWood, ValleyBrook, and Downingtown. A lot of locals have many different opinions on Jaworski, but we believe that his golf company does one hell of a job running the many courses in the area for such an affordable price. We paid around $45 for an early afternoon tee time, and didn't have to wait until the back nine. The Running Deer Clubhouse When you...

Merchantville Country Club "The only thing a golfer needs is more daylight." - Ben Hogan (Played on Monday, May 7th, 2018) Merchantville Country Club is the 10th oldest golf course in the United States. It's a nine hole, private golf club located in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. The course dates back to 1892, and it was formally known as the Merchantville Field Club Organization. What the course lacks in length, it makes up for by placing a premium on shot-making and accuracy. The bridge over the meandering creek to the 9th green. Unfortunately for the Sunday Golfers, only one member of group is able to play the course. Chris Colman gets to play Merchantville as a team member of the Rutgers - Camden golf team. Although it is not the same as playing with his normal Sunday group, we felt it would be necessary to show our first private golf course in our area that at least one of us is able to play. Colman on the par 4 fourth/thirteenth hole. What makes Mercha...
