Golf recommendations in Cape May, NJ?

[Mike2020]

Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone has any good recommendations for public/semi-private courses within 30-45 minutes of Cape May, NJ?  The last 5 years we've contested the annual vacation "Cape May Cup" at Cape May National, which is a lovely course and nearby; I have no qualms with returning. I'm just wondering if there is something else of similar quality nearby to try out? Variety is the spice of life as they say.

Anyway any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

@Mike2020 as you clearly know, there's a few clubs to choose from as you travel up the freeway north out of Cape May, some better than others. It would be great if Union League National Golf Club was open to the public....but sadly not 

But IMO, the best public course around there is Shore Gate Golf Club, probably twenty, twenty-five minutes from Cape May. Let me know how you get on

@Yourgolfcourses.comthank you for the recommendation! We had a great time at shore gate, which was a very nice course; it was in good shape even with heavy rain the day before, very well maintained greens, which were rolling nicely. They warned us about the "undulations" of the course, but being from north jersey, that was nothing I wasn't used to. About those bunkers though; some of them would put the ones we're about to see at the open to shame! Thankfully I did not find myself in any of those,  haha.

Anyway, thank you again for the great recommendation!

Haven't played it in a few years and not sure about the conditions but always enjoyed Avalon Country Club.

Heading out to CMN on Monday. Have seen some reviews that make me nervous about the condition and staff. 
 

fingers crossed!
