Course Details | Blue Heron Pines Golf Club | South Jersey

Championship Golf in the South Jersey Pinelands

An 18-hole course designed by Stephen Kay — crafted for challenge, beauty, and enjoyment at every level of play

Blue Heron Pines Golf Club has been one of South Jersey’s most celebrated golf destinations since opening in 1993. Designed by renowned golf course architect Stephen Kay, the layout was built to complement the natural beauty of Atlantic County’s Pinelands — not compete with it. The result is a course defined by majestic tree lines, well-placed water features, strategic bunkering, and the kind of scenic depth that makes every round feel distinctive.

Recognized as one of the best 18-hole courses at the Jersey Shore, Blue Heron Pines challenges experienced players while remaining welcoming to golfers of every skill level. As a semi-private club, the course is open to both members and public players — so whether you’re a first-time visitor or a regular, you’re always at home here.

What to Expect

Every hole at Blue Heron Pines asks something different of the player. Tree-lined fairways demand accuracy off the tee, while water hazards on multiple holes require thoughtful club selection and course management. Strategically placed sand traps protect the greens and reward approaches from the correct angle — penalizing those that miss.

The greens at Blue Heron Pines are consistently smooth and well-maintained, offering a true roll that rewards golfers who control their speed and trajectory. This is a course that reveals more of itself with each visit — knowing where to miss, which pins to attack, and when to play conservatively becomes a genuine advantage over time.
