Golf Courses in the Atlantic City Area

McCullough's is a links-style course built on a old landfill. It's a traditional looking links course with open views of the surrounding holes. The layout is fairly flat with generous sized fairways and greens. The biggest obstacles are the wind and the visually deceiving distances. Many golfers consider McCullough's to be the best value in Atlantic City Golf.

Just down the road from McCullough's Emerald Links sits Twisted Dune Golf Course. Another links style course, but very different from McCullough's. Twisted Dune has dramatic elevation changes, a rare thing in the very flat Atlantic County. Twisted Dune's layout is visually intimidating with rugged looking bunkers, mounding and waste areas. Over 100 bunkers will swallow up any wayward shot. Very playable and fun once you get used to the surroundings. It is rated one of the "Top 3 Public Courses in New Jersey" by GolfWeek Magazine.

Blue Heron Pines is a traditional parkland style course. This is target golf at it's best where narrow tree lined fairways provide natural hazards. The course won't overpower you, but most misdirected shots will result in a recovery shot back to safety. Blue Heron features three of the toughest finishing holes in golf. Number 16 is a 218-yard, par-three with an elevated green, number 17 is 450-yard, tight par-four and number 18 is 529-yard, par-five that requires three precise shots to find the green. Blue Heron Pines was ranked in the Top 50 Public Courses in the United States by Golf World Magazine and holds a four-star Golf Digest rating.
