The Wildwood Video Archive spent much time in April, exploring a lost golf course located in Cape May County.

Located in the Villas, Ponder-lodge was an 18-hole golf course built by the owners of the Christian Schmidt Brewing Company. Once a private course, in the 90s it opened to the public before closing its doors.
