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.

Great Course! Excellent Value!
Great Course, Slow pace of play due to the 3 gents I played with. Fairways and Greens were in Excellent shape, tee boxes need work. Very Enjoyable experience, Cordial Staff.
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.

EARLY BIRD GETS THE WORM!
COURSE WAS IN GREAT CONDITION, CHALLENGING AND FUN. WAS IN AC FOR MY BDAY WEEKEND, BOOKED AN EARLY BIRD AT 6:30AM AND WAS OFF THE 18TH AT 10:46. I WAS PAIRED WITH A THREESOME AND WE ALL THOUGHT THE COURSE WAS CHALLENGING. NARROW FAIRWAYS AND BUNKERS WITH A FEW HOLES WHICH WATER COMES INTO PLAY ALL MADE FOR A GREAT WEEKEND. ENJOYED IT SO MUCH I BOOKED SAT, AUG 3 AT 7 AM WITH THE SAME ENJOYMENT. WILL DEFINITELY GO BACK AND PLAY SINCE I'LL BE DOWN FOR LABOR DAY WEEKEND.
Good course
New owner seems to let anyone play, guys in jeans t-shirts, 4 some in front of us couldn't hit the ball had to skip past them and return to hole
THIS COURSE HAS GREAT FEATURES.
I played the course many years ago and didn't remember it. But the course was in great shape and we had a great time!
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.
Nice course
I've played this course many times a I'm never disappointed.
The course has character
The greens are ture an average to slow speed. The back nine is harder than the front . Keep the ball in the front of the green and you can score.
Nice public course, very fair, slow play
Course was in good condition, greens rolled well. Play as very slow, had to wait on every hole.
A very enjoyable round.
Consistent greens throughout...great fairways and landscaping.
Pristine, convenient from A/city, great value
A nice clean course, was 15 minute drive from Atlantic City boardwalk where we stayed. Was a single went out with another 3 done in 4 hours. A course with challenging holes, a great value for the price. We are planning another trip to AC in August we will play this course when we go again.
Decent course
Other than 30 people waiting at the first tee and our tee time being 45 minute late the course was decent
this course is fair and has some challenging holes and some holes that can be scored on.
I play this course quite a few times, always seems to be in great shape and everyone always seems quite friendly. For the money I think this is wel ll worth the trip
Great play
I always thoroughly enjoy this course. It is always well maintained, and has a great layout. I was worried when Jaws took over the money might be diverted from the upkeep, but just like over at Running Deer, the conditions have been outstanding here past few rounds I've played here. Highly recommend, particularly with any kind of discount rate.
OUTSTANDING
Great people,great course,@ golf now rate it was a great bargain.
Great Experience
This was one of the friendliest courses at which I have ever played. We played on a Saturday and the pace was really quite good. There was a foursome in front of us that was moving fairly slow and the marshal asked them to pick up the pace and to play a set of tees further up. There are a few waste bunkers on the course and some bunkers one may never find their way out of. Stay on the fairways. I cannot wait to play here again. I must add that using Golfnow made this a reasonably priced course.
Very slow play
Pace of play extremely slow. Several groups were backed up on the back nine due to one group always looking for balls in the water, and another group playing excruciatingly slow. They were marking 3 ft putts on the green. They would be 250 yds out and wait for the group on the green to move off only to hit their shots about 100 yds. Nice course but need more marshalls to keep pace moving.
Challenging beautiful course.
It's tough but really nice. Popular so you are going to wait on the tee boxes. That may be why I found it tough. Rhythm was thrown off. Still a very pretty well maintained course.
