Heron Lakes Golf Club - Greenback Course
About
Heron Lakes Golf Club is home to two championship courses designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr, the Great Blue Course and the Greenback Course. Both utilize the rugged natural terrain in different ways, offering challenges that will appeal to both low and high handicappers. The Greenback Course is a versatile parkland layout that is gentle enough for beginners to approach with confidence. It is a less demanding design than the Great Blue but it still has plenty of challenges in store. There are 86 bunkers framing the elevated greens and six ponds come into play throughout however the mature trees present the most prominent threat. The par 3s on this golf course can be especially tough. The more challenging elements are nicely balanced by large, inviting greens and generous landing areas.

Great Day on the course
Really enjoyed my round. The greens were in good condition, except people were not fixing their ball marks.
Great Shape
The course was in great shape, staff were great and overall great experience.
Had a great time
Solo 18 in the rain. Made for a great day. The greens are fast and true. Friendly fairways. Good challenges. Will be back!
Another nice gem near portland
This was a great experience on a challenging course, and it’s a public park course. Great staff and marshals kept the pace on time. We got thanked for being ahead of pace at the turn. Plenty of time for a bite to eat and drink at the turn. Great little restaurant with friendly staff. The course was in good shape for spring time and the greens were cut close and in great shape. I only had to repair a few errant ball marks on the greens, just a habit I was thought at an early age. Keep up the good work Portland parks!
Course in need of maintenance
Fairways need sand in divots. I used both sand containers in the first five holes, refilled on the turn, and then again in the next three holes on the back. Sand traps are actually water hazards and it hasn’t rained in a week. Greens were good, but seems that no one repairs divots. I repaired probably 4 on every green. Pace of play was good in 4 hours 15 minutes. Cart girl is awesome. Staff is very friendly and the starter was the best.
Carts on the course
I have played Heron Lakes many many times.
It is not one of the better draining courses.
But the fact that they allow carts on the course in wet conditions is ridiculous.
We had one person with our group who was in a cart and driving in places that the cart got stuck a few times and making ruts all over the place.
If you are going to allow carts please stick to the cart path only until May-June.
The carts are making the course unplayable.
Great round of golf.
Really enjoyed my round of golf. The pace of play was great and the course wasn’t in too bad of shape. Still a little moist out on the fairways but the greens were rolling well.
Bunkers had a lot of water in them and not playable. It hadn't rain for a while but course had extemely wet areas it was a challenge just to move forward at times.
Went at 3:10 tee time in early October and pace of play was so slow had to call it on the 13th as Sun was setting. But course was gorgeous and really want to come back! Just probably won’t pick afternoon on one of the last nice days of the year lol
