The property was serviced by a trolly, which ran between the resorts and the course. Not only was the sandy site ideal for golf, but it also occupied a prime location, with end-to-end views of the Atlantic City skyline. Work on Atlantic City Country Club soon got underway. Just before the turn of the 20th century, a group of wealthy Atlantic City resort owners convened and decided that they needed a place where they could send high rollers for a round of golf. Pooling their resources, they purchased a plot of land in Northfield, N.J., just across the bay from the boardwalk. Atlantic City Country Club is a hidden gem in a golf-rich state.
