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.

Fun to play

It’s just a fun layout. More enjoyable than their Great Blue. I consider it target golf. Not extremely long but loads of severe dogleg rights so you have to be careful of hitting too far through the fairway. Trees and water everywhere

Heron Lakes Greenback Course

Fairways and Greens were in great shape. Weather was hot in the high 80's. Pace of play was a little slow and the round took around 4-1/2 hours. I guess for a public course that's just what we get.
