Length 6810 yards
Slope 133
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.

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.

This is a beautiful course with great greens. It is well managed and a pleasure to play. Only issue was the rate of play was quite slow and we just got our round in. The course was a bit of a issue with the leaves in the fairway. The ground crew does have a challenge with where to blow the leaves to. The greens were as perfect as it gets and rolled fast but true.

course conditions not worth $115

the course conditions were worse than my local municipal course.
definitely not worth $115. The conditions made it a $50 course at best.
