Still a Hidden Gem

When I first started playing HCGC in 2017 I thought the place was a hidden gem and if I ever moved to Florida, that would be a place to go. 8yrs later, I live right down the road from Herron Creek and I still love it today. The practice facility is hands down one of the best in the region. The course is challenging from tee to green, you can't just blow past all the hazards and play pitch and putt. It's a shot makers course and a very pretty ride.

5 hours plus!

Course in decent shape, staff very friendly...pace was very slow.

Front nine took 2 hrs and 40 minutes.

Beginning at hole #4, had to wait at every hole, with the group behind us sometimes waiting with us.

We decided to quit after the front nine due to the slow play, and not wanting to spend another 3 hrs on the course.

Great course - poorly managed tee sheet

Course in great shape - good layout, a little variety, nice greens and lush fairways. Called pro shop day before - booked as a single. Supposed to be paired with two other guests. Ended up going out solo at 7:24. All good. Finish front 9 in 1:40. Come around to 10th hole (1st on Creek 9) and there are 2 foursomes on tee box and another in the fairway. Starter/ranger tells me “it’s gonna be a little while. Got 2 two somes coming up next. You can go out after them.” Says it in a way that I am lucky to go out after all these people. One of the first groups out as a solo and now I’m stuck behind 3 foursomes and possibly another. Very poorly managed. I’m quite reasonable. But I’m not waiting 45 mins at the turn to play a 3 hour back 9. I left - $75 down for 9 holes with a sour taste in my mouth. Wish it was different. Left to play 18 at Bobby Jones - a single friendly, public golf haven!!

Boiling Hot Swamp Land

There was no wind on this day and it was hotter than the Amazon rainforest. Not to mention we had to wait on almost every hole due to a company event that they put us behind. I do love the course layout and will be coming back, just the way it goes I guess.
