Blue Heron Pines |
We
started with Blue Heron Pines. Sorry, but no pictures. It was an
overcast day with occasional drizzle, and the camera did not come out.
Blue
Heron Pines is a nice enough course, but nothing special. Most of the
courses we play in Monmouth County compare to it. Some are not as good,
and others are even better. I wouldn't make a trip to South Jersey for
another shot at Blue Heron Pines.

Twisted DuneWe've
played Twisted Dune before. And we like it a lot, so we'll play it
again. So I'm not embarrassed by the fact that I have only a few
pictures of TD this year.
Twisted
Dune is a tough course. Links-type course on steroids. You can see the
blue flag (back hole location) on the green amid the sand dune/bunkers.
Yes, Warren hit the green with this shot. | 
This fox at Twisted Dune was big, healthy, sleek, and fearless. | 
In fact, it was almost tame. Here it decided to pose for the camera. No, this is not a telephoto shot. |

Atlantic City Country ClubAtlantic
City Country Club is one of the oldest country clubs in America. And it
was once one of the ritziest. (I almost said "most exclusive", but I
understand it was as much celebrity as money that could get you in.) It
is also an excellent golf course, named #1 publicly accessible course
in New Jersey at various times by Golf Magazine and Golf Digest. I
concur that it is a fine course, though I have other favorites.
One
of the features of the course is the view of the Atlantic City skyline.
The course is actually not in Atlantic city, but across the bay where
it has a wonderful vantage point to view the length of the AC
buildings. You'll see that in most of my pictures.
This panorama is the view from the clubhouse dining room. And the food was almost as good as the view. | 
Rich
at the entrance to ACCC. in case you can't read it on your screen, the
sign says, "This bell was used in the early 1900s to remind golfers
that the last trolley was about to leave for Atlantic City." |  |  |  |  |

Real good sunset photosAs I have said before, a sunset photo or several is de rigeur for these trips.
