Heron Lakes Golf Club - Greenback Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Bounce & roll is here!
Great day to play! Friendly staff, course in great shape considering the winter, lots of welcome bounce and roll in the fairways.
good green condition
overall,,, pretty good... little too wet on the fairways, but the greens were dry..
less geese droppings..so cleaner than before..
:)
Fair deal
Greens excellent. Fairways very wet in many places. Rough very soggy. Bunkers raked, not dressed, but at least no standing water. Virtually every course I've played from March to current is a soggy mess. So expect mud. But the greens were excellent, tho a bit slow.
Very rude
First time here, we were paired up with another twosome and were about 20 minutes over their suggested pace of play after 9 holes. The staff that started us out tore in to us about how slow we were and we would be removed from the course. Lots of name calling and cursing from the staff member. We assured him that we were playing as quickly as we could, but the terribly soggy conditions were slowing us up. We kept our cool the whole time and remained respectful. He followed us almost ti the next hole continuing to yell, berate, and threaten us. Low and behold we were held up on the back 9 with the 2 groups in front of us. This was a terrible experience and I dont think I will ever go back, I am there to relax and have fun, not have someone with their own issues try to ruin my day.
Course conditions
Course was not in best shape. The rough had not been mowed in a long time. Hard to find your ball when you are off the fairway.
this course has great practice features
it's a great course when its dry, was very wet we took a cart but had to stay on cart path only. had to walk though a lot of mud! but it was still worth $14 for 18
Nice
I hadn't played this side in a while. I thought I would hate it but it was surprisingly nice, despite the rain ☔️.
Great course
The guy at the counter was great to talk to . The starter was funny . Weather was perfect
Fairways good shape,
Staff was great and unlike some courses they let us tee off early.
Good vakue
Play in the afternoon and pace of play was great. Course is in good condition but due to hot weather is just starting to show signs of issues. Great value
Great Day
Played mid-week pace was good. Fairways were getting dry for this time of year. Also driving range needed fresh water in the buckets to clean your clubs, this always is a problem at this course.
Great course
Fun and challenging course, kinda slow pace but regular for a Sunday.
Love this course
Course was in great shape pace of play was great and greens rolled true staff was friendly will play again for sure
Great course
I really enjoy these courses!!
Challenging but yet fun to play
Sand traps
30 yard ago I could drive over them, now they are in play.
Fun and challenging
A great course to play. It's a little easier than the Great Blue, but offers a lot of challenge. Always love it here.
