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.

Really like this course. Have played it numerous times. However, had we known it was cart path only, would never have paid $65 to play it.

Very nice conditions.

Had not played it in several years but was very pleased with the conditions. My only complaint is pace of play on the back was terrible. Played the front in a bit over 2 hours. The back took over 2 1/2 hrs.

Busy course struggles and succeeds

Our tee time was delayed by 40 minutes due to a morning outing. They put us on the back 9 and asked if we would mind playing it twice due to a 3 PM outing.

Say what you will, the starter and staff handled the delays as professionals and we ended up with less than 4 hour round. In my book, in a seasonal resort, that's pretty great management.

Beautiful day

Course was in great shape and it was a gorgeous day. The only complaint was the starter got the 4 groups in front of us off late because he let someone hit 4 tee balls because he couldn't get off the tee.

Great course with good condition

This course has been through rough time before but Ron did great job to keeping it alive with great condition. You can expect all kinds of situation as a golfer on each hole because of mixed difficulties .You will experience higher ball flight than normal here due to soft fairway condition.

Nice course. Not for beginners, fairway bunkers all over the place. Good shape for early in the year. Staff was friendly. Would recommend the course and would play again.

Terrific Challenge

Course was in good shape for this time of year. Every hole makes you think on every shot. Where to place your T-ball and how to approach the green. Favorite holes #7 short par 4, but place your t-shot to avoid the cross bunker. #11 short par 3, over a pond and fronted by bunkers. And #14, a par 5 with it's own version of Pine Valley's Hells half acre.

Mid-December golfl

Always a tough course but played a little easier since there wasn't much rough. Pace of play was very slow so we ended up playing the front nine again. Course was in very good shape especially for mid-December. Would do it again next week if the deals are still available.
