Cape May Par 3 and Driving Range



About this course
Cape May Par 3 and Driving Range sits in Rio Grande, New Jersey, a few miles inland from the Atlantic coast and the historic resort town of Cape May. The facility serves the southern tip of New Jersey's coastal region, an area known for its beaches, marshlands, and relatively flat terrain characteristic of the Mid-Atlantic barrier island system. The course operates as a straightforward par-3 layout designed primarily for practice, family play, and golfers seeking a quick round in a casual setting. The routing consists of short holes that allow players to work through their iron game without the time commitment of a regulation course. The property's flat topography reflects the broader Cape May County landscape, where elevation changes are minimal and coastal winds can influence play depending on the day. The holes are laid out to accommodate golfers of varying skill levels, from beginners learning the game to experienced players sharpening their approach shots. As a facility that includes both the par-3 course and a driving range, Cape May serves a practical role in the local golf community. It provides accessible practice options and an informal playing environment suited to the seasonal nature of the Jersey Shore region, where summer tourism drives much of the recreational activity. The course fits within the tradition of modest, unpretentious golf facilities that support the game's grassroots level rather than pursuing championship ambitions or architectural recognition.

Getting there
The journey to Cape May Par 3 and Driving Range begins at Atlantic City International Airport, roughly twenty minutes north, though Philadelphia International - an hour's drive up the Garden State Parkway - serves as the primary gateway for most travelers. The route south traces New Jersey's coastal plain through pine barrens and salt marsh, the landscape flattening and brightening as you approach the southern tip of the Cape May peninsula. Just shy of the Victorian resort town itself, the facility sits along Route 9 in Rio Grande, a quiet crossroads where the air already carries the weight of the Atlantic and the promise of links-style seaside golf.
