Rating 72.2

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.

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.

Will Definitely Come Back Again

The course probably would have gotten 5 stars across the board where it not for the fact we were there right after the greens were punched. I will update this review after we go back.

The course set up is great and even the shorter par 4s are very challenging. Even with the greens being punched, they were in pretty good shape. Very much looking forward to coming back in a few weeks when I can see the greens in much better shape.

Great round!

Course in beautiful condition. We teed off about 15-20 minutes after our starting time --not sure why as we arrived at the course early. And I was concerned about pace of play at the outset of the round. However after a couple of holes, we moved along quite nicely. This is a fine layout that I always enjoy, more so when I get a deal on Golfnow!

Good Condiction

One of the many good courses in the Atlantic City area. It's pricey in the summer due to the tourist trade in the area.
Course was in good condition. Although we were warned by the starter that the greens were "very fast" we didn't find them so. Many of the greens in this area are "flat" but this course offers greens with many elevation changes. Enjoyed the round and plan on playing again in the near future.

Greens were great.

Visiting from Texas and was looking for a public course. Price was right and holes were very interesting. Plenty of sand and greens rolled true. Planning to play this course again.

Course OK

Course was in OK shape, fun to play with a few holes that were challenges.
Staff seemed confused on starting times and not overly friendly.
I paid $69 but wouldn't invest anymore than that.
