Nice course, but greens were inconsistent with regard to condition.

First visit to Heron Creek. Very friendly staff, nice amenities. Course is nice, but condition could have been better. Some of the greens were really "rough"!

We'd play it again, maybe in off season.

Big bummer

Very disappointed. Greens were in terrible condition, disease and giant patches of repairs. For the hype and the cost, I expected much more. Round took five hours to play, waited on every hole for group ahead of us, who were painfully slow. I’ve played fourteen other courses in the area since January 1 and would go back to all, but this one.

Great Course

First time playing. Will play there again. Great staff. Very busy day so initially no carts we could take to driving range, but they had someone shuttling to range. It limited us in spending time on all the practice ranges. Pace was slow for this day. Enjoyed the day on the course. Great condition considering our lack of rain.

Heron creek

Our round started off on The Marsh. It took over 2.5 hours to play 9 holes with a lot of waiting. There was a ranger that was trying to speed things up. This 9 was a bit rough some of the greens and fairways needed work.

We played the next 9 on The Creek and pace improved and so did the conditions. Our foursome thoroughly enjoyed this 9.

Staff were excellent. Grounds are well kept.

If both nines were like The Creek I would have rated this course a 5*.

DO NOT PLAY THIS PLACE

What a complete rip off. This place is a goat lot.....and not even sure goats would eat there. Our foursome paid 125.00 per person to play this course(135.00 including fees). We were in the area and played 5 different courses in 6 days and this was by far...by far .. the worse course. The conditions from tees to greens were pathetic. Place has a lot of nerve getting the rates they charge. Believe me I understand the rates in Florida you pay now and the other 4 courses we played were in the range of Heron but were very nice. Who ever is rating this course positively must be r must be related to the owner. PLEASE BELIEVE me.... Horrible place to play a round of golf

Difficult when first time

Its not an easy Course to play, especially when you play it for the first time. You have to be very careful where you aim as the hazards are lurking all over.

I also made the mistake to play from Blue, should have played White as I had problems carrying the drives long enough on several holes.

We will come back one day, but being from abroad it will have to wait.

All staff was extremely friendly and I can’t fault them anything.

Fun Adventure

Good variety of par 3’s and par 5’s in between acceptable par 4’s. To reach their designed layout, we traveled some pretty long distances from greens to the next tee(s).

Course was in pretty good condition despite the lack of rain.

Heron Creek

Course is a very good layout in decent condition. The pace of play leaves room for improvement. We played over 5 hours waiting on several holes. Should be able to complete play in 4:15 or less.
