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.

This course was amazing

As a newer golfer this course was amazing.. It tests all your playing ability and allows you to find your weakness so that u can have an idea of what to practice. I would recomend you play other courses if you arent the best yet because this course does not play games.. It was beautiful and i cant wait to go back again!!

Used cart

Nice Sunday afternoon

Very good shape for April after a good bit of rain the week/few days before. Impressed with how firm the greens were for this time of year. Can't wait to play later in the summer when things really green up. Only gripe was we only saw the snack cart once for the entire round.

Nice layout, good conditions, but bad experience

Had a beautiful day enjoying the courses nice layout and good conditions until the golf cart I was assigned ran out of juice. Had to be pushed by another cart. Heard of other players having this issue. It lead to a dreaded 5 hour round and a headache to follow

Everything was perfect

Wow, this course was in perfect condition ,from the rolled greens to the manicured fairways . The starter was versed in every aspect of this course and wait time between holes was like clock work. I want to go back soon.

Very challenging course, big time par fours.

Very nice experience, everything went smoothly as expected. Course was playing long because of rain the day before, no roll on tee shots. Greens were pristine and fast. Never played there before and after a year of inactivity due to illness was harder than I expected. Not complaining, was great to get out with friend of mine I havent seen in a year because of retirement. Had a great time, just need some practice before I hit this course again. All in all was a great experience and Golfnow made it very easy to make tee times. Keep up the good work.

Nice course

I have played here twice and both times, the starters have been great. The course was very well maintained especially for this time of year. Short course where scores are out there but you have to keep it in play.

Well maintained fairways and greens with many sand bunkers

Course was very well maintained and the staff was friendly and attentive. Layout was somewhat challenging but fair with tree lined fairways, water hazards and numerous sand traps. Great value for the money and will definitely play here again.
