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.

Bunkers and greens
I have played this course for many years and every time this year, the greens have been horrible. There is no consistency, firmness, or speed, like there use to be. The pace of play is embarrassing and the bunkers looked like they haven’t been raked since the course opened
Country club feel
Treated very nicely from beginning to end. Course in very good condition even though greens aerated. We played as a twosome with no issues of wait times. Will definitely play again when in Atlantic city area.
Blue Heron, ice course
The course is in good shape, not great but certainly enjoyable.. the greens were recently aerated which is a drag for putting but no big deal... beautiful day and friendly atmosphere.
Very nice
Greens are fast and with medium difficulty.
A few very long par 4 for a 200-y driver.
Liked to play there although it was car path only because of the previous rainy days.
Green top dressed and not brushed properly
Not sure why they top dresses the greens Monday morning? Putting stunk on every hole! They could have discounted or warned us. Maybe they too dressed because the drought but the greens were punch months ago. Because they did not brush the sand properly some put kicked left or right. Disappointed because I was going to put this in our list but never again.
Excellent course with a few problems
A very good layout, with just two issues...there is NO water on the course...no place to refill your water bottle (but on the other hand, there were no restrooms either so I guess it all evens out in the long run!)...while there is a beverage cart, in 18 holes, we only saw her twice..and once was on the first green!
Also, the carts have no GPS and are well beyond their useful life (ripped seats, unwashed, etc.). Otherwise, the golf was great, just not up to what
should have been provided.
Fast and very good greens
Staff could be friendlier.
No towels
No water on the course but drink cart is available.
Good range and practice facilities while you wait.
Tee off delayed 20 minutes
Course was out of carts, so we had to wait for people to finish playing so we could get a cart. Never ever had that happen before. Disapointing
