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.

They lose the greens every summer
Greens are awful
Don't play here July and August. They don't have the expertise or equipment to properly maintain the greens in the summer.
Good Experience in Very Hot Weather
I don't usually write reviews but had to share my excellent experience at Blue Heron Pines. The starter, Ron, knew the course really well, we were not sure what tees to play from so he devised a plan for us where we could play the white tees but play from the yellow tees on 4 holes that he thought may have been out of our distance range and he was 100% correct, also told us that there was either water or OB on the right side of 15 of the holes, that alone kept us out of trouble and contributed to one of our best rounds this year. The group behind us was listening to him and I noticed they also asked advice. This was over and above what we are used to, I hope he gets to read this.
Great Experience
The course is a solid track with challenges for all skill level plus fun holes for everyone to try and go low on. Staff is AWESOME and friendly. Great bar and locker room. Very clean. Pace was slow on the front 9, but it was a holiday weekend.
Fair at best that day.
Had some rain night before so cart path only. We had 2 players and the old timers in front were brutal, picking balls out of water/woods. Ignorant backing up course and never once offered for a faster paced 2 some to olay through. They finally quit around 14 because of so much walking I guess. Really no need to have cart path only but I go with the flow. Was almost a 5 hour round because we caught up to another 4some on 16 and they were on slower side also but too late to play through I guess. Was playing nicely until we had no momentum and had to wait up to 10 minutes between shots. I actually screamed up on a par 3 if it was ok now for us to tee off because they were dicking around (all 4) looking for balls in the water to save money I guess. I will play again eventually, but this left a bad taste for sure. Course was in ok condition, they dont seem likely they water course too often. Played it last year also and was a nice day, so 1 good /1 terrible experience. Best of 3 will decide if I go back again. 😁
Fair value
Played this course on a beautiful day. Course was fair, in good condition. Pace was a little slow. The rangers did try and help. Took 5 hours.
Fun, playable course!
Good course but current conditions were not ideal due to the drought.
Overrated
This place is burnt up and cart-path-only. Nice layout, but not in good condition. Won’t return soon
