Brief Description of the Golf Course and/or Club

 
Harbor Pines Golf Club is world class, 4-star, daily fee golf in southern New Jersey…just minutes south of Atlantic City’s casinos and boardwalk…everyone’s favorite place to play – rated best course conditions in South Jersey plus unequalled personalized service.

This course has undulating greens that average 6,500 feet, which offer many opportunities for varied pin placements. Seventeen acres of water, including twelve shimmering ponds, are strategically located on about half of the holes, and sand bunkers on about three-fourths of the holes. Walking is permitted in the winter only. Juniors are free after 4 PM with a paying adult. The 6,142-yard men's tee also has a ladies' course rating of 74.5 and slope of 130. 
 
12 ponds - 17 acres of water, strategically located to add a picturesque charm and a challenge for every golfer. Only two ponds require a carry shot -- most run laterally along the fairways to heighten the challenge and the beauty of the course without unfairly testing the average golfer. 
 
Harbor Pines is a parkland-style course that winds around the perimeter of a 520-acre heavily-wooded site providing undisturbed enjoyment of each hole. Only the 1st, 9th and 18th holes provide parallel play as they intersect at the clubhouse. 
 
Harbor Pines features generous fairways and short rough reminiscent of Augusta National. The finest irrigation system and course management program that exists in golf today is at Harbor Pines. Wall-to-wall triple row sprinklers create conditions that rank with the most prestigious courses in the world. 
 
Large undulating greens offer opportunities for varied pin placements that add interest and new challenge to every round. The average green size is in excess of 6500 square feet. 
 
Distinctive Memorable Bunkers from the massive 170' - long half-acre bunker that guards the par-4 17th hole to "Sand Creek," the long ribbon-like bunker you cross by bridge as you approach the par-5, 7th. 
 
The course is extremely well-marked for yardage to speed play. With your cooperation, rounds should take no more than 4:15. Color-coded stakes along each fairway and fairway disks are placed at 200, 150 and 100 yards from each green. In addition, over 800 sprinkler heads are yardage-marked to assist you in your shot selection. 
 
Tee areas are unusually large offering the opportunity for varied tee positions that lengthen or shorten the hole and provide different playing angles. In addition, the large tees on all par 3's prevent excessive wear in any one area and provide the golfer consistent quality conditions.
 
The course is designed to enable the golfer to visually read each hole, to clearly see the next shot in order to assess the consequences of risk and rewards for the well-played shot. Landing areas are clearly visible from the tees and most greens are angled to face the golfer, minimizing blind shots and enabling the golfer to analyze and plan each shot.
