Reviews & Testimonials

Diamond in the rough! My family went down here last summer and it couldn’t have been nicer. It is not located that close to beach, but they do have shuttle drivers that take you there within 10 minutes. Rooms were very nice (modernized) and the people were great. Golf courses at Barefoot were amazing, take your pick! I personally loved the waterway outside my balcony as well as the huge pool! Located right by a ton of shopping and prime location. Great place to stay guys, were going back here in 2 months once again. No complaints from us, awesome.

Reviews & Testimonials

Quietly elegant, graciously inviting…From the classic colors to the lack of superfluous ornamentation to the beautiful setting, this is the meaning of a “resort.” The food was good, the spa luxurious and the service unparalleled. We weren’t five-dollared to death and consider good value for the money. Example: the stone “fire pit” roaring away on a cool Spring evening was populated by folks with “S’mores” kits, featuring all the ingredients and a long-handled cooker. Just lovely.

Reviews & Testimonials

Seaview is located on over 670 wooded acres of pinelands on the New Jersey Shore’s pristine Reed’s Bay – only eight miles from Atlantic City and just 45 minutes from Philadelphia. Offering 297 impeccably redesigned guestrooms and suites, championship golf on two world-renowned courses, fine accommodations, and 27,000 square feet of premier meeting and special event space and much more.

My fiancee & I stayed here for a 2nd time recently & we absolutely love this hotel! It’s located in a very nice area, just far enough from Atlantic City, but also a close enough drive if A.C. is your type of place to be. The grounds are lovely, friendly staff & we enjoyed a restful night’s sleep. We loved the room’s decor, the comfy bed & extra roomy closet. The only complaint we had was the creaky floors as you walk to your room (we were on the 3rd floor both times, a little distance from the elevators), but other than that, we had a fantastic visit! I must admit that after reading that this hotel is pet-friendly which we weren’t aware of, we will probably not stay here again. We’re not pet people & the idea that a pet(s) may have been lying/sleeping/playing on the bed at any time, would be a reason for us not to stay here again.

Stayed there under the former ownership. Still a high level of service under Dolce. Rooms are comfortable, albeit a bit dated. Meals provided for my conference were good. The property is convenient to Atlantic City if you want to stay away from the crowds and are willing to drive. The golf courses are classic old style courses, and the staff is gracious and helpful.

Legendary in his golf achievements and golf course designs alike, Jack Nicklaus constructed a masterpiece set amidst the long leaf pines of Southern Pines. This 18-hole championship layout features classic Jack Nicklaus architecture: wide fairways, lush course conditions and undulating putting surfaces that test your mind and your true golfing ability.

National’s golf course is a magnificent 7,144 yard course and is meticulously designed as it is compelling. An intriguingly well balanced course which, according to Golf Digest, “has come to enhance even the lofty Sandhills image for world-class golf amenities.”

Each hole has been customized to create a great diversity in the way it can be played. Added to this uniqueness are tall pines, grassy swales, groomed waste areas and a natural variety of lakes and stream beds beautifully fashioned to give National its own distinctive look.

Reviews & Testimonials

“The National property is absolutely beautiful. Its rolling hills, magnificent pines and variety of lakes provided us with elements we needed to design a golf course that would be extra special. The idea has been to preserve and build upon the great golfing tradition which is the Sandhills.” – Jack Nicklaus

Course

In our fast-paced world, we’ve come to value traditions that reach out to touch the past. That’s why Mid Pines is so special and rare among golf clubs. It has 18 holes that are in exactly the same positions with the same numbers as when the course opened in 1921.

That doesn’t mean that the layout of the course has been neglected or overlooked. When the current owners took over the property in the mid-1990s, an effort was made to polish this classic gem: Tees were leveled, a pond was rebuilt and cleaned up. Irrigation and drainage were improved.

Many people have characterized the course as “pure Donald Ross” because of how it fits the land where it was built. It has few forced carries or artificial or contrived holes. Says Lee Pace, writing about the course in Pinehurst magazine: “Mid Pines was never conceived as a daunting task to the finest players competing under championship conditions … Mid Pines was intended simply as a fun course with adequate challenge for members and guests of a private club and resort.”

Even so, this course does play home to many national competitions including the 2002 USGA Senior Women’s Amateur Championship.   You’re going to find hillier terrain on this course than Pine Needles; Mid Pines is also slightly shorter.   Your round at Mid Pines will start with a 380-yard par-4 (350 from the forward tees). From the elevated tee, you’ll be looking out at a broad fairway that is framed by mature longleaf pine trees.

The par-3s are among the most popular holes on this course, and perhaps the most photographed hole on the course, according to Graham Gilmore Director of Golf at both Mid Pines and Pine Needles, is the par-3 No.2. You’ll need an uphill shot from elevated tee boxes to an elevated green that makes for a tough target to hit. There’s a distance of 178 yards from the back tees and 116 from the front.
