Located in the Pine Barrens of Southern New Jersey, near Atlantic City, this picturesque course is impeccably maintained with beautiful greens has at least 15 great holes.

You can't see one hole from another. The tour doesn't play here because they're not invited and because the compact design would not handle crowds well.
