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.

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.
Thank you Jaws!
Since Jaws has taken over this course he has restored it back to its former glory. Super friendly and cordial staff, course back in great condition, and with Golf Now a great chance to play it at a bargain. If you are at the shore and want to play a round, don't miss BH Pines.
Highly recommended
I hadn't played Blue Heron Pines for many years and my return visit was most enjoyable and did not disappoint. Not only was the condition of the course excellent for a daily fee course, the staff was terrific. Ron Jaworski really knows how to run a golf course. Layout was beautiful as well.
Loved the course layout and condition.Staff was great. Would recommend this to play anytime!
Course was in very nice shape despite hard rain the day before. Tee boxes and greens were in great condition. Well maintained. Clubhouse staff and starter were great! Enjoyed the grill at the turn, great burgers, dogs and sausage and peppers.
Will return for sure!
Overall great experience
Tried a very early tee time to avoid a long round. Staff got us out a few minutes early and rangers were present to assure a good pace of play. Course was in good condition for amount of rain the previous few days. Even stayed for an early lunch and grabbed fresh cooked burgers off the grill. Outstanding experience.
Only hesitation at check in because I thought my account was already charged but cashier said no and money was due, so I did pay.
Right now the course is in AWESOME condition
the only downside was that the course was "cart path only" on the date we played, after significant rain the day before. It slowed us down some, and the ranger was NOT friendly because of pace of play.....funny how he dissapeared when we had no one behind us!
Worth Playing
I had a 1:33 tee time and they were running way behind because an earlier shotgun start was playing very slow. They did accommodate my group by sending us to the 7th hole to start our round. I thought the course was generally in very good shape but I felt the greens needed a little bit of work. They were a little choppy and probably need to be rolled. Otherwise I really liked this course. This is the third time I have played here in the last three years and I feel it offers a nice combination of challenge and beauty. Look for on line deals to get a better rate as the course could be pricey at the rack rate.
Course was very fair for the average golfer
The course was in great shape! I thought the holes were interesting especially the back nine. Staff was friendly
Always in great shape!
I really like this course. It always seems to be in great condition. They have a range for warming up. The clubhouse is great.
The course is well bunkered and each hole presents a unique challenge.
