Great course!
This course in North Port was excellent. From the service staff to the practice facilities to the course layout to the conditioning of both fairways and greens, we were very impressed. We played mid-day on the Creek/Oaks 9’s and finished in about 3 1/2 hours. We will be back!

A great course
This three nine hole course is an excellent course to play. The three nines are a little different which makes it more interesting. I have been playing here for ten years. I wish that the price was a bit lower, and I would play there more often. With unlimited range balls, it’s worth it.

My go-to course in Port Charlotte area
Played with my son, a plus-2 on a picture perfect Florida day. 6th time for me. FIrst time for my son. Course conditions were immaculate. Greens about 9.5 on stimp. This Arthur Hills design is a must to play if in the area. Staff was great. Course is a challenging layout, but is very playable for all handicaps. I visit once a year to the Port Charlotte. There are not many other courses in this area that provides the value this one does. If you read a previous negative review about Heron Creek, please ignore it!

Very Nice
I was very pleased with what we found at Heron Creek
Friendly staff everywhere. Nice pro shop, nice restaurant, nice bar,
Course was very fair and something for everyone. Not an easy course but is set up for all levels of players. Greens were nice with plenty of interest but not stupid hard greens as far as undulations. Perfect speed on the greens. Considering this course had just seen two hurricanes, Helene and Milton, this course was very impressive. I’d play it again anytime and often. Really can’t say enough good about it and especially when you compare it to other FL golf courses with the harsh conditions they endure. This one is a winner
A great value as far as bang for buck
