Length 6810 yards

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.

Great course. Terrible clubhouse service.

Played here on Jan 2nd. Cart path only due to big rain the days before. Played with two members who were gracious and a pleasure. The course was in great shape. Winter greens so a little on the slow side. Went to the clubhouse for an after golf drink and snack. We were the only two at the bar and the bartender was too busy playing a game on his iPad to serve us in a timely manner. My wife actually said, "excuse me but when you are done with your game do you think I could get a drink?". Go for the golf....eat some place else.

First Time Playing

I really enjoyed this course.

First time ever playing here. Really enjoyed this course. All the staff were super cool and working hard; from the young man loading carts to the grounds crew. The starter was awesome and offered some solid advice (thanks Mike). The course ranger was super chill; you could see him often, but he was not a burden. No blind shots here; tons of sand. This is the only course I’ve played this year that actually had fluffy sand bunkers. Every green is a table top and protected by bunkers or some sort of hazard. I will definitely play here again, but not often because of the price.

Friendly staff

We went out at the earliest tee time and the gentlemen was there to greet us and load our clubs. Course conditions were good despite overnight rain. Just wish the bar would have opened earlier!

Only issue is the rough around the green wasn’t rough at all. Led to a lot of difficult shots that should have been easy. And some approach shots that would have been really nice that ended up poorly. Otherwise course conditions were great even after a recent aeration.
