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.

Over Priced

Poorly irrigated fairways that have many brown spots. Greens very hard and fast with brown spots where ball marks should be.

Clubhouse staff unfriendly. Outside ports potties rather than actual rest rooms.

Way over priced.

The BUNKERS

The maintenance of the bunkers is horrible! No sand, weeds growing out of them.

The BUNKERS

Good course except the bunkers are in bad shape, no sand, not maintained, weeds. If golfers are expected to play out of these then the maintenance crew needs to put some effort in.

Good course

This course, as well as many in the area, has got to start maintaining the bunkers and sand traps. If we are now expected to play out of these courses must put the effort into making them playable post pandemic.

Divots

The par 3's are like a war zone, no sand to fix the divots.

I get it because of Covid, but send someone out at least once or twice a week to fill the divots marks

Normally fine but....

We have played this course many times. We have found that in the last year the greens are in much poorer condition that has been prior. Pace of play has also been fairly slow as of late

Easy to walk.

Good course with plenty of challenges. Easy to walk. Greens punched recently so greens were slow and bumpy. Fairways in great shape, but bunkers haven't been raked recently. Would play again.
