A golf course just a few miles from the famous Atlantic City strip was recently put on the market for just under $2.5 million.

Pomona Golf Course and Country Club, a 9-hole executive golf course in the Pine Barrens in the small city of Egg Harbor City, has been listed for $2,499,000. This includes a grass driving range and a 3,800-square-foot clubhouse that houses a bar/restaurant and a three-bedroom apartment.

According to a story at NJ.com, the property was originally built by a businesswoman:

Pomona Golf & Country Club was established in the 1940s by Sara Spencer Washington, a Black entrepreneur who founded a beauty supply and beauty school business, after witnessing discrimination at other golf clubs in the area. It was one of the first Black-owned golf courses in the country.

According to the listing at Loopnet.com:

After appearing on Restaurant Impossible there is an updated bar and kitchen – the bar & restaurant seats up to 54 persons and there is a new patio area and new menu. The commercial kitchen excluding hood system. The restaurant is open to the public and lunches are served daily from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. There is a club liquor license in place which means only members can be served with alcohol on premises. Transportation on the greens includes a new fleet of leased Club Cars. The property is centrally located close to Stockton Campus, The Atlantic City Airport and the Garden State Parkway.

The sale also includes a total of 34 additional lots surrounding the golf course, amounting to 76.45 acres, although some of these lots are zoned as a golf course. All lots are located in the Pinelands commission.

Here’s a look at the property.
