Atlantic City Country Club has quite a storied past of its own. In the late 1800s, the shore town boasted beaches, a boardwalk and outstanding hotels, but no golf course.When business declined in 1897, the game made its debut and the site was named Country Club of Atlantic City. While still under construction, the course and clubhouse officially opened just in time for the 1898 summer season.


The clubhouse featured a barbershop,hotel rooms, a dining room and grand ballroom, which were enveloped in elegance. Social events by the thousands were held here. There was even an organized crime convention hosted by infamous New Jersey political boss Nucky Johnson. One of the attendees – Al Capone – was alleged to have hidden out at the club to avoid apprehension. Other, more reputable guests of the club have included Grace Kelly’s father Jack, and titans of entertainment like Bob Hope and Frank Sinatra.


GolfWeek, GolfMagazine and Golf Digest have named the Atlantic City County Club as the #1 Public Golf Course in New Jersey.


The 2016 Baseball hall of Fame InductionWeekend is scheduled for July 22-25, 2016 in Cooperstown, NY. Attendees will have the chance to play ball with Ozzie Smith, view the Parade of Legends, and witness an awards presentation and the induction ceremony.


This year’s inductees are Ken Griffey, Jr. and Mike Piazza. Griffey, a first-time candidate, captured a record 99.32 percent of the vote. Piazza is said by many experts to be the greatest catcher of all time. He hit 427 career home runs and 1,335 RBIs.
