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.

Simply Amazing
Very beautiful course. I am considering getting one of their memberships. They offer many different kinds. This is after only playing there one time. Course in great shape for the year. Greens are super fast. If you haven't played here I woukd highly suggest giving it a try.
Rainy Day Fun
Course was outstanding, and in spite of rainy conditions, everything was in great shape. You take your chances with Fall Golf, but we were not disappointed in spite of the weather. Staff was great!
Blue heron pines
Vèry nice course. The group that I brought with me and said they would love to play here again. Course was in excellent condition
rickiefowler
Course is one of the best around. Everything was in great condition. Not a lot of trouble and scoreable, and a lot of fun to play. Right off AC expressway, very easy to get to.
great course!
Great value here with golf now hot deal. Course was pretty good other than some choppy rough around some of the greens which was inconsistent. My really only gripe was not having a cart girl on the course in the afternoon on a saturday. thats inexcusable
the greens were true and running around 9 on the stimp
when I'm down the shore,this course is a good play
Good Day for Golf!!!!
BHP is in very good shape and the greens were rolling very well. The fairways were in very good shape. It's areal good time to play the course.
Great condition, full golf facility
Complete with a range, putting green, practice bunker/green and chipping/pitching green this facility is definitely somewhere a serious golfer should check out.
The greens are perfect and run pretty quick. Some of the hole locations were very tough if you got on the wrong side of the pin.
The fairways and bunkers were perfect. Tee boxes had been aerated, but were level.
Well taken care of
Very friendly staff, conditions were in great shape. Fairways and greens were in immaculate shape . Cart girl came around 4x , very attentive. Will play again soon , great job Jaws!
Over rated
For a club that preaches fast play,furthest from true ,no rangers or not working, very slow pace ,less than cordial pro shop staff.Course conditions ok Ironic was told by staff member when we INQUIRED about two other courses in area,that " they were not very good" instead of criticizing, better improve your own product.food pretty good but service indifferent
Great layout
Great layout The course is in very good condition overall a very enjoyable day of golf
Blue Herron
My friend and I had an 11:53 tee time. They sent us off on the back 9 with another two - some and assured us we would have no trouble playing the front after the turn. When we got to hole #1, there were FOUR groups of 3 waiting to tee off!! We asked for a "rain check" and went home. Very disappointed !!
Good course in good condition
Course was great. Staff not as great. No yardage book available. Like the layout but it would be nice to know where hazards are before I play into them. I've never been to a course of this caliber that didnt offer a yardage book. No cart girl available bc there was an event later in the day. Regardless of what the GCs schedule is later that day I dont undrstand why I cant get a sandwhich and a beer on the course.
Extremely slow play
Just two things that really made for a bad first impression.
Pace of play. Extremely slow. The ranger or rangers should have been done a better job. 5 hours and 15 minutes will make one never want to play again. Second, really dislike any club that has a salesman on any tee who is trying to get more money from you. No I am not interested in putting up another 10 dollars for some contest. Such a turn off. This guy was like a car salesman. Who stood on tee box and did not let us tee off until he was done. Will not return.
Prop's to Team RJ
Great conditions for a public course! Kudo's to Ron J's maintenance team for having such smooth greens after a long hot summer with plenty of use. They have had a weed invasion problem but again, credit to the team, they have already killed it off ready for the fall growing season. T-boxes are a little beat up but overall the staff has done a great job each season getting the course in better and better shape. Not an especially hard course but fun to play.
Great deal excellent course
It is challenging, but not unfair. Would that more players fixed ball marks on greens, but it is not the course's fault for that. Decent beers on tap. Friendly staff
enjoyable day at Blue Heron Pines
It had been years since we last played Blue Heron Pines and golfnow blessed us with a 34 dollar rate for this Sunday which was much appreciated. As an overall facility, Blue Heron gets high marks. The practice area has a good range, a practice trap and chipping area and am ample putting green. The locker room facilities are top notch as is the clubhouse. We met Ron Jaworski's son BJ there who is a personable nice young man and played in the group behind us.. The course is no doubt a fun and challenging layout.. The back 9 finishes up on 5 real good holes that will test any level of player. At the end of every summer, most public courses are pretty chewed up and Blue Heron is less chewed up than most.. The greens are a bit bumpy and not as good as in years past but still decent enough.. The cart girl was cute, blonde and very sweet.. Looks like Jaworski knows how to hire them! The service by the staff was very nice and gave us the feel of playing at a nice resort course.. For the dollar it was a real enjoyable day at Blue Heron Pines..
Good Time
The course was in good condition. The greens were a little slow, but in good shape. The pace of play was good. All of the tee times were full and we started on time and didn't have to wait on any of the holes.
Great shore course
Blue Heron Pines Golf Club is a great shore course that has some challenging holes.
