About
The Blue Heron Pines Golf Club consists of two award-winning courses called the East and the West. Located 15 minutes outside of Atlantic City, these public golf courses provide a challenging game and have been touted by many New Jersey publications as the best 18-hole course on the Jersey Shore.
Each golf course had a different designer so they do have some differences. The West Course is relatively flat with narrow fairways and fast greens. Water hazards also come into play on seven holes. The East Course on the other hand features wide fairways and difficult bunkers. The East Course also follows a links-style layout and is meant to be played fast and firm. For those who want to play the courses but aren't at the top of their game yet, the club offers golf instruction.

Nice time
The course was in decent shape. The layout is great and the place is beautiful. Staff was helpful and friendly. I will go back.
Disappointed
The course was a quagmire. It should have been closed! 90% of the bunkers had multiple inches of standing water. They all need to be redone. The cart path was flooded in several area. The fairways are abysmal. There are real problems with this course. It needs a lot of maintenance.
Course Condition
As an avid golfer who has been playing many top rated New Jersey courses, I was very disappointed in the condition. Overrated and overpriced.
T Boxes: 2/5 Poor
Fairways: 2/5 Poor
Greens: 4/5 Nice
Overall: 2/5 Below Average
Take the bad reviews with a grain of salt
They are air raiding the fairways so it’s going to be a bit rough... other then that the course was in great shape.. tough course... could be a little bit cheaper for what your getting... with the exception of the number 1 hcp, the water does not come into play...
Major disappointment on trip to the shore
Upon booking, I had high hopes that this was going to be a solid course for the money based on previous reviews. Our group was disappointed to say the least. The course was in very poor condition. Fairways 7, 13, and 17 were basically dirt, and the bunkers throughout were rock hard. Greens were long and filled with goose $h!?. The rest of the course was spotty to say the least.
Layout was okay, but not worth the price of admission, especially considering how poor the conditions were. They really should shut this place down until they get it back in playable condition. I really wish we had played somewhere else.
The only redeeming aspects were that the facilities are clean and the staff was friendly.
Won’t be back until conditions improve
Course was in terrible shape, the worst I’ve ever played it in, and reading some of the reviews it sounds like it has been that way for most of the last month. Almost every bunker on the course was unplayable. Greens were slow, and fairways were brown and chewed up. Fortunately I got a Hot Deal tee time because I would have been very upset if I paid their normal greens fees. The course was packed on a Thursday so people are still showing up. Overheard staff mention that they won’t be closing to aerate because they’ve been getting so much play and don’t want to lose a few days of business - disappointing to hear given how they’ve pretty much lost the course and it needs the care- seems like this is the philosophy of most of Jaworski’s courses. I usually play here a few times a year but won’t be back until next season.
We did eat in the outdoor seating area after the round and the food and service was pretty good so that was a positive.
Tough day
Normally this course is five stars. Due to the amount of rain we’ve had lately the course is green and brown unfortunately.
I will definitely go back once things get a little under control.
The staff is always excellent, didn’t get to enjoy the amenities this time around but normally this place is an excellent experience for the money
Great layout
Loved the layout and settings at blue heron! Staff was professional and very active! Spotters were personable well organized and the pace was great! Post rain the bunkers had some water and fairways were a little spongey and soft but the course played great!
