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.

Fun layout
This is a course where you don't have to use driver on every hole a lot of risk reward tee shots. You need put it in the right place in the fairway or you could be blicked out or in jail. Greens are pretty flatt. Funner the second time you play once you know where to hit to. Get the book its FREE!
Beautiful course
The Greenback course at Heron Lakes is amazing. It is a slightly tough course but it is in excellent shape right now. Pace of play was great. The staff was super friendly. The food in the clubhouse was really good. The price is on par with most courses. I would definitely recommend this course.
Best for the money
I play all over and this is the best course for the money and overall convenience living in Vancouver.
Greens are in great shape!
Course was in great shape. Exspecially the greens. Great week day value for sure.
Very Muddy
I played a Greenback on February 21, 2024. I would not recommend playing this course in any seasons except for summer. The course is very wet and muddy. Every steps is stepping on muddy and get my shoes and push cart muddy. Tried to stay on the cart path but it was wet with standing water, it needs to be re-paved. There was potholes and standing waters. Overall, it needs better maintenance.
Good shape given the time of year
Course was in good shape give the very wet month prior. Greens were even and fast, fairways in pretty good shape, not too soggy. Bunkers were hard packed with some standing water, but that’s to be expected given the time of year and amount of rain. Played 18 in 3:10.
Too soggy for good play
But excellent you are a mudder. Love the course but it is over saturated right now. Trish behind the desk in the club house is a gem! Nice to see both male and female staff.
Great Muni
Play there a lot great course. Good conditions for late November
Good time
The course was in good shape not to wet well drained. I have played this course a lot and still find it challenging. It's a must play.
Good day considering
Considering the greens being recently punched, the course was in condition. Pace of play was good in the AM. I appreciate this course and it’s variety of holes.
