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.

Nice layout and a good variety of holes.
The was a lot to like at this course. It was well kept, varying degrees of difficulty on many holes and a nice layout. I will play there again.
Fast play
Teed off at 1220 and finished up at 330. Was able to establish good rhythm and tempo with faster play.
Course in great shape even after a bad rain
Great Day A little windy but overall great day
Fun time
Met a friend in Atlantic City and we decided to play here, what a treat!!!!!!! Staff and course were great.
Good Value
Course is overall in good shape. Fairways were in decent shape despite the rain few days before a round. Was bit disappointed that green was slow but, wasn't terrible. Will come back to play more.
Great December Golf
Nice round enjoyed the near 70 degree weather to get a quality round in before years end. Course is in great shape , cart path only slowed play a bit. Great day overall!!
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.
enjoyable course, wide fairways
really enjoyed the 14th hole a copy of hells half acre at the famous pine valley golf club. nice par 3's, very fair, great bunker placements. greens have subtle breaks in them which make them challenging to read
Winter golf in jersey
Considering its December, the course is in incredible condition. Greens included. The staff does a fine job to accommodate
spring in November
No disappointment here everything made for a great round and day from the weather to staff, greens and tee boxes. Thanks golfnow and Heron for an excellent time.
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
