Pines Course ☆ Follow

The 18-hole Pines course at the Seaview facility in Galloway features 6,731 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 71. The Pines Course opened in 1929 and was designed by William Flynn and Howard Toomey. Unlike the Bay Course, the Pines winds its way through New Jersey woodlands, presenting elevation changes and bountiful doglegs. William Flynn designed the first nine holes in 1929 while another nine holes were added to complete the eighteen hole circuit in 1957.

The golf course has tight fairways lined with trees, medium-sized greens that are undulating, and strategically placed bunkers. The signature hole, number 9, is a 510-yard par 5 that presents the only water hazard on the entire course. Tee shots must avoid the trees that line both sides of the fairway. Second shots must safely navigate over the hole's only water hazard. Because it's an older course, the layout is really traditional with a lot of doglegs and narrow fairways, no gimmicks, just old fashioned golf.

Some golfers prefer the Pines course because of its quiet location behind the resort's hotel and also because of its more challenging features. The course is situated in a resort setting near Atlantic City and is open to the public, offering a blend of strategic play and traditional golf design that appeals to a wide range of skill levels.
