Rating 72.2

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.

Great Course, Great Price

This course was in great shape and the pace of play was great. I say that even with a 30 minute delay to start the round. They where backed up a little bit but once you teed off you never waited again. The fairways were in great condition as well as the greens. Some of the par 4's were short but I still used driver to try and reach them. Cart girl came around a lot so you were never thirsty.

I gave a 4 star for staff friendliness only because the starter and one ranger could have been a little nicer. But the gentlemen behind the desk and the young kid doing the carts were great.

Overall great experience and would definitely play again.

Recently aerated, Needs a few more weeks.

Both the greens and fairways have been recently aerated and the fairways especially are not yet ready for prime time. That being said, it was a pretty enjoyable day with excellent pace of play and extremely friendly staff.

Not worth it

I’ll start at the tee boxes grass was so high I was getting blades between my teed up ball and my club head, fairways played like first cut of rough and greens were as long as fairways should be, very very slow greens holes had Destroyed lips. Also there were fivesomes on the course at least 3 that I counted over my 5 hour 45 min round of golf

Jersey Shore Best Course

This is our go to course down the shore. Course is always in great shape and greens always run true. Price has gone up a little over the years and 100+ is the rate in the area during this time but you can still find sub 90 days here and there. Staff is always friendly and pace of play has never been an issue. My only problem is the Par 3 eight at 103 yards over water that you cant be short (obviously water) or long, downhill into trees. Not that the hole is bad, its not at all. I just dont have the 100 yard club in my game its my bugaboo. Push it back to 115 and help me out Ron. Keep up the good work guys, truly one of the best around

Wet but playable

I played an early Monday morning round in a threesome.

Lots and lots of heavy rain the days before we arrived made the course soggy in places and we were fortunate that the 90 degree rule was in force and we weren’t restricted to the cart path.

On the par 4 and 5’s I was accurate and 200 to 220 off the tee on all but two holes so that’s the basis for my comments. The front 9 has two short par 4’s which should present birdie opportunities. The second of these is the seventh hole which has a landing area beyond the bunker that you really can’t see from the tee and makes the yardage a little tricky.

There is water in play on 10 holes but only the 10th and 15th really were a factor from the white tees on the second shot for me because I hadn’t hit

good tee shots in those holes.

The big bunker on 14 looks intimidating and without a long drive it will be hard to avoid it. The sand isn’t deep so you should be able to play out of it easily unless you’re up against the edges or the grass mounds in the bunker.

I really enjoyed my round despite the wet conditions.
