course challenging - staff obtuse, Oct 10, 2010 |
| reviewer: BobB703@aol.com
from Pennslyvania |
| just returned from vacation in Cape may. Played shoregate which was great. Cape may national is a fine layout. Unfortunately, course was wet and needed to keep carts off fairway. Ranger is beligerent and will try to keep play under 5 hrs which is a joke when you cannot drive on fairways.also, they pack the starting times. Suggest another course on weekends. |

 Overrrated, Jul 02, 2007 |
| reviewer: Steve Friedman
from Middletown, NY |
| This is almost impossible to play for the first time. There are no yardfage markers on the sprinklers (as there are on most quality public courses). They have gone overboard with the cart rules, especially since the paths tend to go thru the meager woods. It leaves you no sense of the layout of the holes. Sometimes I had to take 4 clubs with me and hope I had the right one, because I had no idea how far I was from the green. The yardage book was cryptic and often inaccurate. Overall a beautiful day of golf was ruined by a course which was not hospitable to visitors, basically user unfriendly. |

Conditions subpar, May 21, 2007 |
| reviewer: Jim
from Wyckoff NJ |
| I played near Labor Day in 2006 and conditions were terrible- greens and fairway were burnt out and ragged. Another course in area was in much better condition. For the price, a big disappointment. The layout was interesting. |

 my favortie course down the shore, Jul 27, 2005 |
| reviewer: greg lerro
from pitt, Pa, USA |
| Cape May National is a lot of fun to play. It is my favorite course at the shore because it is challenging but you have some birdie oppurtunities. It is a much harder course from the tips but it is very interesting and pleasing to the eye. There is nature everywhere. Early morning is the way to go here so that way u can get your beach time also. I play this course every year and this year it was by far the best maintained. You need to watch out for the tuff holes on the back nine 11,15,16,18 and the par threes are pretty challenging i don't recall there numbers. ON 18 YOU MUST KNOW WHERE THE PIN IS OR ELSE YOUR APPROACH SHOT MAY LEAVE U A 3-PUTT!! IF ITS ON TOP TRY TO USE THE HILL. thats from years of experience the hard way 3 putt after 3 putt |

 Great driving course from the tips, Jul 05, 2004 |
| reviewer: Paul Stone
from Dayton, Oh |
| Teeing off early was the way to go - the black tees are a true test. Watch out for members that go off on the back nine before 10:00pm. |

An interesting course, Feb 28, 2004 |
| reviewer: Steve Waxman
from Philadelphia |
| Cape May Nat'l is designed to take advantage of and highlight its natural setting. The par-3 3rd offers tees on both sides of the green allowing a choice between a 185 yd hole over water or a 110 yarder where the water is not a factor. The par-5 4th starts with a 175 yard carry over marsh and the par-4 5th is all sand for the first 150+ yds. The 11th and the 18th are my two favorites. Almost every hole is interesting in its own way and a challenge for any golfer. At the same time, the average golfer should not be intimidated and have an enjoyable round. Generally well maintained, the condition depends heavily on the weather. In good weather, the course is beautiful. |
