Across the bridge from Atlantic City's legendary Boardwalk and Casinos, the barrier island of Brigantine boasts New Jersey's best Scottish Links golf course. The Links at Brigantine Beach, one of the oldest and most historic golf courses in the Atlantic City area, was built in 1927 as part of Brigantine Island's master plan.

taking bay views, as it winds through native marsh and gently rolling, nearly treeless terrain.
