Cape May National Golf Club

Cape May National is best course in Cape May. For the $95 greens fee it is not necessarily a great value relative to other courses in the NY/NJ area. Course was in very good condition and the chipping/putting area is top notch. The allow golfers to walk course even on Holidays and the course was backed up (note we were a twosome in cart but playing very leisurely).

The clubhouse and snack bar does not measure up to the greens fees.

Was pleasantly surprised to find the course in amazing condition, and completely devoid of people, on a beautiful early summer afternoon. Tees, fairways, greens, rough - all in pristine condition.
Course is beautifully designed and pleasant to walk through. Many wonderful birds and mammals. Extremely friendly staff. I was expecting nothing close to this for $21. I would play here often if I didn't live 35 miles away. Highly recommended.

Just played last week. I have to say the course is in amazing shape. Always a great layout. Best value around. Friendly staff. Feels like home when youre here. Will be playing again soon.

Enjoyed round, play was fast, conditions were excellent.

Love this course, always in good shape. Greens where a lil slow but understandable for this time of the year having been punched recently but still a lot of fun!!

Cape May Nat'l is set on a nature preserve and has a distinctly remote feeling to it. The layout is very nice but the course has some rather intimidating situations for you to encounter. The day we played winds (20 mph+) were also a factor and added to the challenging experience. Definately should be played more than once as on subsequent visits you'll have a better plan on managing some of the holes. Slightly pricey but well worth the admission and if you can book a golfnow hot deal you'll save some $$ to cover for some of the balls you'll lose. To date , best course I've played in the Jersey shore area.

Interesting and challenging layout; fairways, tees, and greens in good condition. Sand traps a disgrace. The sand is heavily laced with rocks. We saw one rake over 18 holes. The course gets very little play. This is primarily because of the $95 greens fee.

This course is very pretty, and very challenging - especially if you play the back tees. Every whole is scenic and unique (except hole #9, it seems like an afterthought). This is not a bombers course, it requires placement on a lot of holes. Local knowledge is a huge benefit on this course, because you need to know where to hit your shots.

The pace of play was ridiculously slow. The front 9 took more than 3 hours to play, and an hour into the back 9 we were through 2 holes, and switched sides because it was starting to get dark. They needed a martial really bad. I've played all 18 before, so I know how nice the course is, but the pace of play really ruined our last round there.

dont even try to play from the blues unless you are a 12 handicapper or better,very tough.

I played Cape May for the first time in August because I had a hot rate deal that was too good to pass up. The course plays long because you can't just hit driver everywhere, and it's also tight almost the whole way around. Some of the holes are also a little gimmicky. That being said, to play a course at 7,000 the quality of this would easily be worth what I paid for it and then some. Our round took 5 hours and we finished #18 in the dark because the pace of play was very slow. Not sure if that's a trend or not. I'll be back when the price is right.

Course drains well. We finished playing the 2nd hole when a deluge of rain came over that easily dropped an inch of rain in 15 minutes. As it was downpouring, I couldn't help but think that there was absolutely no way that we would be able to continue the round.The green that we were standing near was completely under water. The rain stopped and we teed off on the next hole 30 minutes after the rain started and proceeded to complete the round with nothing more than a few puddles to get around. All in all, the course was fantastic and I look forward to someday playing the course during better conditions. The course and the par 3s are a bit longer than what I am used to, but the rain contributed to not getting that extra few yards of roll.

Beautiful course that will keep you thinking all day. I definitely recommend purchasing a yardage book if you are not familiar with the course. No homes on the entire complex and an ton of memorable holes. Very fun day of golf. Only complaint was thepace of play. Almost a 5 hour round with no ranger seen the entire round
