About Cape May National Golf Club
Cape May National Golf Club in Erma sits on a largely natural site and is known by the nickname The Natural. The layout wraps around a fifty-acre private bird sanctuary, and the course was designed with an emphasis on environmental sensitivity, an approach that was uncommon at the time it was built.
The result is a course styled after the classic turn-of-the-century era of golf design. The club traces its history back to the late 1800s through its predecessor, Cape May Country Club.
