Ballamor Golf Club

Ballamor Golf Club in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, 20 minutes outside Atlantic City, is an Ault, Clark & Associates design from 2001 that has earned a reputation as one of the best public golf courses in South Jersey. Formerly a private club, Ballamor transitioned to daily-fee operation while retaining the private-club feel: impeccably-manicured fairways and tees, fast undulating greens, and a full-service clubhouse with friendly staff. The course plays as wide off the tee but demanding around the greens, with green complexes reviewers consistently call out as the most impressive feature, complex putting angles that reward creative short-game play. Ballamor ranks as a Top 10 Public Course in New Jersey, and for Atlantic City-area trips it's the essential non-casino round, the obvious complement to the more celebrated Seaview Dolce and Atlantic City Country Club layouts nearby.
