Blue Heron Pines Golf Club

As its name would suggest, Blue Heron Pines Golf Club plays through stands of towering pines. The trees provide more scenery than intimidation but the golf course offers plenty of other challenges including strategically placed traps and enormous water hazards. The undulating greens are also lightning fast. The layout starts out gently but becomes more difficult on the back nine. Blue Heron Pines' 11th through the 15th holes are a string of tour-worthy holes that are the highlight of the golf course due to their beauty and difficulty. The 11th hole is a seemingly easy par 3 that is a play on the well known 10th hole at Pine Valley. This short hole features a steeply sloped green, water, and a deep pot bunker. The stretch finishes with the trickiest of the course's par 4s where golfers will have to navigate water, a bunker, and a double-tiered green.
