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.

Its ok
Nothing special, but definitely worth it with a hot deal
Solid jaws course
The most challenging of the Jaws courses. Great shape, friendly staff, and overall good experience.
Nice golf course
Beautiful warm 77 degree day, no bugs. Was in good shape. Greens a little rough due to early in the season.
Nice bar to finish up in and watch ESPN.
Great course slow play
Nice course greens a little slow. Didn't like the fact they let a 5 sum out in front of us.
May Golf at Blue Heron
Course has something for all skill levels. Lots of sand and water. Yardage well marked. Large greens and rolled true. Due to spring, greens a little slow. Windy day so some holes were more difficult. On course beverages are expensive. 24$ six pack??? Did not buy.
Great course for everyone
Everything about this course is great. The conditions were really good for this time of year and the clubhouse/bar area are awesome. They have an excellent food and beer selection. The only issue I have with the course is, to me at least, the white tees definitely seem closer than normal white tees and the blue tees play like white tees on other courses. I'm sure the handicap adjust accordingly with the slope rating, but it's good to know before you start your round.
suprise
I've been using golf now for years and most of the time it s been a good experience. booked a hot deal and when my friend and I arrived at the course we were informed that there was a scramble going on and we would be about 45 minutes late getting off. the staff was helpful blending us into the course on hole number 8 and we were only about 30 minutes late wold have been nice to know as we would have chosen another course. just wanted to vent, thanks Mario medoro
Really enjoyed this course
First time playing here. Everyone that worked there seemed to love working there, and it showed. Just an awesome environment.
The course was fun, but not the most challenging course in the area. The fast greens were its defense more than anything else. I would say you are always right next to some houses, although I rarely felt concerned about my tee shots hitting them.
Course is very well maintained (especially for this time of year) and is fun to play and the people are super nice. The only negative I'd point out is that they could use new mats at the driving range (probably not a big deal when the grass area opens).
Great Coarse
Just want to start off by saying kudos to the blue heron staff and grounds crew. Golfed on Sunday november 16 and the coarse was in excellent shape. Being that this is the season for NJ when all the leaves are falling and littering most coarses fairways, blue heron did a great job of keeping the fairways clear. Tee box, fairways, and greens in optimal condition for this time of year. Great price for such a nice coarse. Will be going back in future.
Great place to play if you get a good deal
I played 18 holes on a Sunday morning and all in all I was very pleased. The numerous amounts of tea boxes make it playable for a wide variety of different skill sets. The greens run true and fast! The one downfall the course never really felt secluded you really felt like you were always in someone's backyard
Cart 54 where arrrrrre you?
Played here on Saturday the 18th of October - had a 115pm tee time - place was packed - got out on time and pace of play was OK for the first three holes. Saw a ranger at the 4th hole - everything going good - then it happened... Waiting, waiting, waiting.... The 4some two groups ahead of us disappeared but the group directly in front of us started playing like they were on tour and I don't mean they were hitting the ball well... They would stand over balls in the fairway forever and on the green...it was painful. There was no way of keeping any kind of pace and guess what? NO RANGERS!!!!!!!!! Not a one! These guys got slower and slower and the sun was setting minute by minute. Our final putts were made in the dark. Got back to the cart return and asked where the rangers were and he replied "they get off at 5" - I guess they decided to call it quits earlier than that. The gentleman at the cart return said there was more than a half an hour between the group in front of us and the group in front of them. Generally, the course is very nice - we drove 2 1/2 hours from Bergen County NJ to play. It was a long drive home although the discussion on how to get the word spread about this debacle helped pass the time. PS. The nice GPS units in the cart... DIDN'T work. Starter said a lot of them dont. If you're a fan of the PGA slogan "while we're young" ... Don't play here
blue heron pines
i enjoyed the course. good conditions, friendly staff and would recommend to a friend
Excellent Course
Blue Heron Pines is an excellent course and was in superior condition. We started on time and the weather was ok but then it rained for the last 2 hours and we still finished in the rain. The course had excellent drainage and other than the fact that my club grips were slippery we still had a great time. This course is a must play! Kudos go out to Ron Jaworski for providing the public with this beautiful golf course.
Blue Heron Pines
Course is in excellent shape. Greens a bit bumpy due to recovering from aeration. If you miss a green you'll pay the price as the rough around green is "US Open" thick, and will cost you a shot or two. Would love to come back.
Fun holes
Have played here before. Saw good deal on golf now and went for it. Overall condition was good . Greens were ok. A little to bumpy. I like the course layout. Some unique holes. Pace of play was slow though not much they could do course was full.
Nice course, bad tavern
No GPS in cart only. Bartender a jerk. Nice layout
Blue Heron
Excellent golf course, friendly people. Will go back anytime.
Nice condition except see below
Nice course Greens aerated and not cut ,I was disappointed.Have played course before and greens were excellent at that time.Fairways nice ,traps need more sand base hard ,
Staf blamed green condition on heavy rain.
Covenient to AC
