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 course, but

Had a fun time, good pace and a really fun layout.

Only complaint were the greens are not in great condition.

Which always seems to mean people don’t worry about their pitch marks, which adds to the frustration.

Hopefully they can get the greens back to they apparently were, when our playing partners played their previously.

Jaworski sacked again

Jersey golf at Ron Jaworski’s course…Blue Heron Pines

Possibly the worst golf course we have ever played.

Right at the start the proshop girl was misery personified .

Greens are a complete disaster with several different grasses and infestation of weeds. All putts bounce, they do not roll.

Cart paths and sandtraps apparently haven’t been maintained in years.

Complete waste of money and effort.

The course should be closed

Avoid at all costs.

Horrible greens

First time at this course, along with my three guests. Fee for our group was 500.00 for the round with cart. Great layout and from the fairways you can score from Blues and Whites. Your problems start when you are on the greens as they are in poor condition. Three putts from any distance is possible lo handicap or not. Initially we thought maybe it was isolated to a couple holes, but afterwards we were wrong, all are bad. One of my guest had played this course in the past and he was flabbergasted and sad to see what is now happening. Not sure if they offer memberships, but I can’t imagine any member would be on board with a greens issue. We play all SJ courses in both Atlantic and Cape May county and Blue Heron with this great layout should be ashamed to charge a fee that normally is appropriate for conditions. I can see this course continue to drop in the ratings if conditions of the greens continue. I for one hope they can recover the former reputation of being a SJ golf destination.

Worst greens of all time

You absolutely can’t charge more than $40/$50 if you can’t even maintain greens to the bare minimum standard. What a joke. Staff was friendly. Food at the turn and after the round was great. The golf itself sucked.

Course is in rough shape

Course is in rough shape. Fairways are burnt and the greens are slow/bumpy. The driving range is always mats only yet they have so much grass to hit off of. I haven’t played here in a few years but the maintenance seems to have declined seeing the conditions as bad as they are. Not worth the money I paid.
