Atlantic City Country Club

About the club

The Atlantic City Country Club boasts a rich history dating back to 1897, when it was established as the nation’s third golf club. This storied course has been home to several ground-breaking golf events, including the first birdie, and the birth of the term "Eagle" for two under par. The course operates on a semi-private basis, accommodating both members and public play. 1. Atlantic City Country Club, "Course History" 2.
