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.

Have Played it for years.
This course gets a lot of play and at times can show it. The greens were in good shape, like they usually are, but the fairways have gone down hill somewhat over the last 5 - 7 years. I have played this course early mornings for the last 14 years. It has seen better days. It is still a good deal for 18, but a little pricey for 9 holes. It can get slow on weekends and later in the day. Generally a good deal if you can get on.
Good and Not So
Good
The tees, fairways,and greens were in nice condition
18 holes in 4 hrs for 4some!
Nice pic of a blue heron atop of a 50 ft. Tree.
Not So
The bunkers need some work - very inconsistent from hole to hole.
Some of the greens released too much where lofted clubs would hit the front and roll off the back.
Beautiful Sunday and only saw drink cart while on the 17th green.
The bathroom was in the nastiest condition ever! It was only 9:45.
Great round for the money!!
We were able to get a great Hot deal on GolfNow for 3:24 on the Greenback at this course. Course was well maintained and the greens ran faster than most other Portland courses. We were able to get through 18 in just over 4 hrs. Can't wait to return to Heron Lakes to play the Blues.
Green Back Good
Course in great shape, the trees & rough are a lot taller & thicker.
I hadn't played the greenback since the early 90's.Really enjoyed
Reminiscing with a friend about the holes.always liked this course.
Outstanding Value, great condition
Outstanding value in Portland. Heron Lakes courses are both in great condition, moderately challenging, and pace of play is good. Comfortable to walk, cheap pull carts available for rent!
Great golf course
What a great day I had yesterday. The course was awesome despite the rain from the day before. The greens were in great shape, but the bunkers cold have used a little raking. The ground was very hard below the dry sand.
long course
Three tee boxes are not enough, as a 26 index, I could not reach any green in regulation. Not a fun course, too long for me. Looking for a home course close to Vancouver, WA. Will not be this course. OK to play a few times a year, nice course, friendly staff.
