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.

Nice layout and Fair !

This is the best course that I have payed this week in the Atlantic City area via Golfnow. Fairway and greens were in good conditions. Greens were slow max 8 to 9. Maybe this how all greens are kept in the AC area. Fairway and greens bunkers were in excellent shape. Greens are well protected which was fun. Back nine was a lot of fun. You are also not penalize if you are no in the fairway from you drive. I would play it again.

In great disrepair and failed to notify.

After seeing the deal on this site and calling the course twice with questions, I booked a time for the following day. Upon arriving I was informed that 9 holes were out of commission and the other 9 had just been aerated. Furthermore, the staff was incredulous when I asked why they failed to mention that the day before or to place the aeration logo on this website. Overall, a very poor experience at a subpar course that over-charged and was over-played. I will not return.

This course is fun to play but needs attention to the details.

I have played this course before the newest owners and it was always in top shape. Sometimes the greens were to fast but always consistent. I played the course a couple of days ago and it was starting to look like it was being let go. I will however give them some grace due to the fact that we have had some extreme weather in this area making it very difficult for the ground crews to maintain. The greens were consistent but too furry for my taste. Overall it is a challenging and fun course to play.

5 1/2 round. Poor condition

Had a 2pm tee time. Didn't tee off until 3pm. We all were told by the staff they over booked. 3 fairways were completely unplayable and the greens were bumpy. I played there a couple of months ago and the same thing happened. They overbooked. On that day they seem to allow residents or members to squeeze in among the tee times. on that day we teed off at 2:45 finished at 8pm.
Not the BHP that was a model for daily fee courses by Hanson.

Course conditions

Fairways chewed up a bit and some patches of crab grass, greens in pretty good shape for most part and rolled true and a bit slow. Traps in good shape... played 8/12 and 17th & 18th fairways were being aerated. Great course as must play if on vacation in the area.

Like the course alot.

As usual staff super. I got there early as a single and sent right out. Caught uo with a couple on the fourth hole and enjoyed the rest of th rounf with them. pac good, even with a four-some in forn of us. Course in good shape; a few fairways with burned-out spots but rare. I paid $78.00 for 1:00 PM start. Maybe a bit high but out out of line with courses in the Atlantic City area. I enjoyed by round and that's all that counts. 88 ain't bad.

Almost perfect

The course was challenging and in excellent condition except for the 17th and 18th fairways. It looks like they were in the process of growing back after reseeding.

Decent course for the money. Have played many times. Wasted $3.98 by booking on line with Golf Now. Could have gotten the same " after 3pm discount" if I had just booked it directly by calling the pro shop. Golf Now offered no advantage.
