A Non-Golfer’s Guide to Enjoying an Atlantic City Golf Vacation

Not everyone in your travel group needs to love golf.

That might sound surprising for a golf vacation, but it’s actually one of the biggest advantages of choosing Atlantic City. While the golfers are spending the morning on one of South Jersey’s championship courses, everyone else has an entire destination to explore.

GolfAC offers access to 15 championship courses along with more than 25 lodging options, restaurants, transportation, and other trip-planning services. That means your group can build a golf getaway that works for both golfers and non-golfers.

Here are a few ways non-golfers can enjoy the trip.

Spend the Morning at the Spa

While the golfers are teeing off, a spa day can be the perfect alternative. Book a treatment, relax, and enjoy some quiet time before meeting the group later.

Explore the Boardwalk

Atlantic City’s Boardwalk is one of the easiest ways to spend a few hours. Walk along the waterfront, browse shops, grab a snack, or simply enjoy the atmosphere.

Hit the Beach

Depending on the season, the beach offers another easy way to spend the morning or afternoon while the golfers are out playing.

Go Shopping

Atlantic City offers plenty of opportunities to browse stores around the casinos and Boardwalk. It’s an easy way to fill a few hours without committing to an entire day-long excursion.

Try a New Restaurant

Food can be one of the best parts of any getaway. Atlantic City offers everything from casual restaurants and sports bars to upscale steakhouses and seafood destinations.

Enjoy the Casino

If you’re interested in casino gaming, you can easily spend the day exploring the casino resorts while the golfers are on the course.

Catch a Show

Check the entertainment schedule during your stay. Concerts, comedy, and other live entertainment can give non-golfers something exciting to look forward to.

Meet Up After the Round

The best part is that nobody has to spend the entire day apart. Once the golfers finish, everyone can meet back up for dinner, drinks, entertainment, or a night out.

Golf Doesn’t Have to Be the Only Reason You Visit

A golf vacation to Atlantic City can be a group vacation where everyone has something to enjoy.

The golfers get their rounds. Non-golfers get their own itinerary. Everyone comes together for dinner and nightlife.

That flexibility is part of what makes Atlantic City such a unique golf destination.
