Sand Barrens Golf Club

Swainton, New Jersey, United States

The 27-hole golf facility at Sand Barrens Golf Club, in Swainton, N.J., considered by many to be the best in Atlantic City golf, offers a world-class golf experience at the Avalon and Cape May shore. The layout is located in the Pine Barrens region of New Jersey and was designed as a public nod to its northern cousin, Pine Valley. Sweeping waste areas, punctuated with native vegetation, are set against tall pine trees and rolling bent / fescue fairways. Undulating greens add to the beauty and challenge of the golf course, while a five-tee system provides every player a chance to feel comfortable at Sand Barrens. Golfers enjoy playing various combinations of the three nines: the North, the South and the West.
