Golf Advisor: Top Courses in Alabama (2024 #18)
Reviews
Nice course in good shape
Course in good shape. Paid $65 and thought it was a little high but fair. Tee boxes and greens in good shape. I like the course and would play there again.
Don’t waste your time
I’ve never been to a more trashy course in my life. The greens are always covered in dirt, the golf carts literally SHAKE while driving them. Customer service is on the floor (I don’t know why I would expect anything less considering it’s located in one of the worst/most dangerous parts of town). The gold shop is never restocked. The food is horrible. If you try to go to the pool in the summer, you get completely over run by pretentious children who think they own the pool because “they’re daddy golfs there”. I wouldn’t recommend this course to my worst enemy ESPECIALLY if you’re from out of town!!! Do yourself a favor and check out magnolia grove, azalea city, or even springhill. You would much rather enjoy ANYWHERE other than this horrid establishment! I’d rather golf in my back yard.

Great Track
Love the layout, and the greens are in really good shape. They had number 5 playing as a par 3. They should leave it like that, the usual hole doesn’t make sense with the design. Staff is always very friendly, and the gentleman in the bar/food area is always friendly when we play Heron Lakes. The only negative is we made the turn and a 4some jumped right in front of us. I did hear that they had some kind of tournament the next day and were practicing. I get it just a very slow back 9.

Great Time
Course was in very good condition and we had a very nice day
Terrible conditions
I don’t know how they are open and charging people to play the course. It’s terrible !!! The greens, tees, the fairways, it’s terrible! And it’s not like they are overly friendly and welcoming. I just don’t know what course the other people played that gave good reviews.
Good golf but
the front nine was great there are a few wet marshish spots on the fair ways but that is normal for south alabama. The back nine was a nightmare the pace of play went from constantly moving to 20 mins a hole waiting to just tee then the 20 more at the green the group infront would not allow to play threw tell the 17th tee
This course is in rough shape and unfortunately is being neglected......The greens on the front nine are atrocious, it's like putting in the parking lot......The back nine is slightly better.....The price was right and we were the only 3 people on the course, so in that respect it was good, but the whole facility needs some TLC.
