Blue Heron Pines Golf Club
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.

Great Condition
Course was in fantastic shape for early November. Virtually no leaves on the fairways. Th greens were in excellent shape. Cudos to the ground keepers.
Minor complaint was hamburgers, although were pretty good, were not worth $12.
Great place
Everything there is awesome even the staff and golf course are 100% perfect
Great time all the way around
The other 3 out of my group were 2 novice golfers that I was trying to show them a good local course and a beginner that got a call cause someone backed out. With all that going on we had a great time. The course is fun and has its challenges, but nothing that was not enjoyable even for them. Pace of play was perfect. We allowed anyone to play through, which helped but the ranger checked on us just to make sure we weren't holding anyone up. They allowed us to just play. As far as the course. It was in test shape even with the fall aeration startingup on the outsides. The amenities and staff were great too. Everyone from the clubhouse, to the course, to the bar was nice as could be. As far as price I thought was a prettyyyy good deal at $50 for the round. I've paid a lot more for worse.
Beautiful course in great shape!
Gary the starter is a great guy. Very helpful. Got us off early and started us on the back nine to avoid the crowd on #1.
My Blue Heron (take on the movie My Blue Heaven)
It was an absolutely amazing fall morning and from the moment I arrived I knew that the people running this course knew exactly how to provide a fantastic consumer enjoyment. Everyone was so professional and attentive from check in to the starter. The putting green and chipping practice area were beautiful and the course was in excellent condition. I drove 90 minutes to play this course after a friend told me about it and I would again and again and again!!
One of the best
Been there a few times and it was awesome and great people that work there ! Can't wait to go back
Course ranger did great job- great course
This is a really beautiful course with appropriate level of challenge with water and bunkers. Course was in excellent shape - only expected the greens to be a bit faster. We played the first 9 holes and at the turn the ranger proactively said things were a little backed up. He suggested we skip to the 12th hole and finish 10 and 11 at the end. It was drizzling so we took him up on his offer so we could keep moving and he proceeded to escort us out to 12. Worked out great. Saw Ranger few more times monitoring pace of play. Would def play this course again - really great!
Wonderful Course
Had a really great time. My only objection was that they let too many twosomes out. It really held up the pace of play. two members they paired us up with left after the 13th hole. After 5 hours I had enough. I definitely would go back again, but I would make sure with the starter that wouldn't happen again.
Very nice course
Good variety of hole layouts. Course in good shape, particularly the green. Traps were a little rough, but it was after a heavy rain. Very helpful attendants.
Nice Course!!! Great People
Every so often you come across a very nice course at a fair price. This is one of those courses.
The greens were "lightly sanded" due to some early morning maintenance but it really didn't affect the speed of the putts that much at all. Besides that, everything else was perfect!
Everyone there was friendly and most helpful.
I'll be back next year when I'm in town on vacation!
Good job JAWS and the gang!!!
Mt Favorite Course
I have been playing this course since it opened in 1993. It's my favorite course. Ron Jaworski really knows how to treat his golfers. He keeps the rough just long enough to make it challenging but you can find your ball without frustration. He has cut down the ridiculous long grasses surrounding the water hazards thus speeding play.
I always enjoy my golf at Blue Heron Pines and come home feeling refreshed. I have never had a complaint about this course which I have been playing for 24 years. Congratulations Ron Jaworski. You have improved a course which was great to begin with.
Nice course
I played here about 10 years ago and I am glad I played again. I will be back what a nice layout!
Friendly Course
Challenging holes and greens but friendly layout. Easy to find balls in the woods. As they have removed most under brush. Some really challenging par fours but generally fair and fun to play.
