The Space
LBI National Golf & Resort is a 155-acre resort property in the South Jersey pine barrens, anchored by an 18-hole championship golf course and a 35,000-square-foot clubhouse. The property reopened in June 2023 after renovation under new ownership, transforming the former Sea Oaks Golf Club into a destination resort with on-site lodging. The clubhouse features elegant event spaces, a full restaurant (The Wickie Room), pro shop, and multiple rooms for celebrations of any size. A 32-room boutique inn with recently renovated rooms provides accommodations for guests traveling from distance.
The golf course itself, designed by Ray Hearn and opened in 2000, measures 6,950 yards at par 72. Expansive fairways and manicured landscapes create an upscale, resort-like atmosphere. Multiple indoor and outdoor ceremony spaces offer couples flexibility, with views across the golf course and toward the Atlantic City skyline. The property’s scale and amenities position it as a full-service destination venue where guests can stay multiple nights.
Capacity & Layout
The Lighthouse Ballroom is the largest event space, seating 200 guests banquet-style or 225 standing. The Carolina Ballroom accommodates 540 banquet-style or 864 theater-style for larger groups. The Sun Parlor provides intimate space for smaller celebrations at 50 seated or 60 standing. Beyond these three primary ballrooms, the venue offers 29 total event rooms within the clubhouse, providing flexibility to break groups into multiple spaces or create unique configurations.
Outdoor ceremony spaces are positioned to showcase the golf course landscape and skyline views. Indoor spaces feature climate control and direct access to The Wickie Room restaurant. The venue’s conference center offers breakout rooms for rehearsal dinners, brunches, or post-wedding gatherings, with full ADA accessibility via elevators to all floors.
Amenities

Four hundred plus parking spaces accommodate guests, with valet parking available. Professional A/V equipment including microphones, projectors, screens, and sound systems are built into the event spaces. The 32-room inn allows guests to stay on-site, with rooms recently renovated in a coastal chic design. The property’s 1G/1G fiber internet supports any tech or streaming needs.
