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.

Greenback Conditions
The Greenback wa in remarkable shape for the amount of play it gets. Some tees were pretty raggedy and should mget sanded and seeded at leawst twice a week. Greens were awesome. I fixed at least five fresh ballmarks on every green, but with the large size of the greens this isnt bad.
Always Reliable
Solid course for $ and greens were smooth and quick!
Hot day golf
Even though it was extremely hot, we all had a great time. The greens were clean and fast.
Good Course
It’s a well maintained public course with really fast greens. The traps could use some work thouhh
Great layout, challenging
We came from Texas to play here. The course layout was the best part of the course. Very challenging and different hole layouts made it interesting. The greens were very fast which was also was a great opportunity to try to score well. I would recommend this to other golfers for the price.
Nice Place to play
I generally have Heron in my top 2 or 3 courses in the Portland area. The soil is good, not all areas get watered, and Bunkers need NOT TO BE!
Pace of place was poor because other group were horrible and we constantly had to find their tee shots for them.
My son lost his wedge and NO ONE turned it in. C’mon people!
Nice course
Course is in good shape, moderate difficulty. Fun to play.
Decent course
Not a long course. It does require you to hit a lot of fades off the tee. Not my forte so a bit of a challenge. Per usual I landed in the fairway bunker on #5 located on the left. Not a drawers course. That said, the par 5s are reachable in 2 so that makes it fun
In good shape
The greens were pretty good shape, nit too fast.
The fairways were mowed well - the ball ran quite well
Pace of play was good, started on time!
It was a great day, but slow pace of play.
It had been awhile since I played at Heron Lakes. But it was a great day, but the pace of play was slow.
