Practice At Its Best

If you are looking for a world class Golf Pracitce facility, then Seaview Marriot's pratice facility is hands down the finest that the Atlantic City area has to offer. Located about 20 minutes from Atlantic City, Seaview boasts the Nick Faldo Golf Insitutue and training center. Even if you aren't using their pro staff for instruction, you can use thier driving range, short game bunker area and multiple putting greens to no end. There is no place I would rather practice at as there is rarely a crowd given the quality and I can practice chipping, bunkers and putting all day for the price of a single bucket of balls ($5 for a small bucket and $10 for a large bucket).

Why do they have such a nice facility you ask? It is because they have two of the areas best golf courses. (the Bay Course and the Pines Course). Every year the LPGA holds the Shoprite LPGA Classic on Bay Course. It would be inconceivable to hold a professional golf tournament without a great training facility. Aside from that two weeks a year, the training facility is relatively uncluttered by people, by the course sees plenty of rounds, so book your tee-times early.
