The Play 9 Movement has caught on and the Jersey Shore is a perfect place to take advantage of it at Heritage Links Golf Course.
With the slogan “Play Nine Before Beach Time”, Heritage Links Golf Course in Ocean View gives its regulars and vacationing golfers the opportunity to play a fun and quick Nine before enjoying all the sights and sounds of nearby Atlantic City, Ocean City, The Wildwoods and Cape May.
A links-style course near Corson’s Inlet with both ponds and marsh and measuring just under 2,000 yards from the back tees with six par 3s starting averaging from about 120 yards to 150, Heritage Links Golf Course provides all its players with stunning views and quality golfing conditions in a family friendly setting that’s ideal for any player of any age and skill level. Many find it’s an ideal layout for juniors and beginning golfers to pick up and start playing the game.
Bowl shaped, undulating, and manicured multi-tiered putting surfaces are the primary (and pleasing) feature at Heritage Links. This makes hitting approach shots on the three par 4s a challenge as well as the putts on the green. The drive-able par 4 second hole, a slight dogleg to the right, is reachable for most players who can shape about a 220 yard left-to-right fade (or draw if left handed), over a bunker to the fairway that runs downhill to the hole.
But most players can and honestly keep their drivers in their cars. A shot-maker’s heaven, Heritage Links is “pound-for-pound”, one of the very best golfing experiences at the entire Jersey Shore region. Both single handicappers and scratch golfers will enjoy teeing it up at and be challenged. “Heritage Links is the kind of course you can’t find much anymore,” said Pete Thompson. “It appeals to all skill levels with outstanding greens to work on your short game.” “The best part” Pete added, “Just 90 minutes to play 9 holes!”
Ten Round passes cost just $180. Heritage Links offers several league options for ladies and men.
