Blue Heron Golf Course

It's a great place to learn how to golf or to walk around with your buddies and drink some beer. 5-6 holes had "temporary" greens and most of the grass was dead. It is what it is and I think knowing more details before I played would have been helpful. The rates should be much less for the amount of maintenance and amenities and the course should be more transparent about conditions on their website (the website says nothing about temporary greens or course condition).

I've played here all my life and haven't played in the past couple of years. WOOF.. The course has gone scorched earth. 7 holes where on the fairway.. meaning the flags were in rough... so you're putting literally on tall grass.

Really hope this course turns around. Missed opportunity to have a well established course. If not.. I am buying parts of this land since it will turn into housing development

The course was in the worst condition I’ve ever seen from any golf course. The greens were not even greens. I wouldn’t not recommend this course to anyone.

I never got a straight answer as to why, but the greens were in pretty terrible shape and had a lot of areas of bare dirt. I assume they had issues with the grass dying off that may or may not have been their own fault. Really nice layout and you can tell the course has potential if they just put a little effort into it. I hope they get to come again and I will update this review because this would be a nice track.

I've played here many times over the years and I've never seen the greens so bad.

I can't recommend the course in its current state

Wow - been about 20 years since I played Carnation - and tough times, or tough greens, or SOMETHING is seriously Wrong. This was like going back to a place that you had fond memories off - post apocalypse. Easily the worst green conditions I have ever played that were over $20 - let alone $65 . The course appeared to not have a MOWER that worked. For anything. Shaggy everywhere - dead grass rolled up in rough making balls disappear. The river, which used to be a part of the charm, is totally hidden by massive overgrowth. Ponds, like hte feature for the 8th green and 9th back tee, are just scum and muck. The tee boxes were in terrible shape. The whole place seemed like it had been completely forgotten. And that is a shame - it used to be nice. The layout is still a good, one with the need to work the ball off the tee - but some of the set up was just comical -- kind of like a candid camera was going to pop out and go, Just kidding - heres your money back. You shouldnt have to pay for this. From the rock hard patches of almost concrete forgotten areas, the and traps were just rock quarries, tee boxes in places that were blocked by overgrown poplars (think a center closing out on a 3 point shooter) on numerous par fours. 4 temp greens - I get it, you have a green blight problem -- but the other 14 greens were not better better than the one I keep in my back yard (For Christs Sake) . ON 10 - which was completely dried out but at least the ball rolled, we had one fair shot at making something. We didnt get a putt to the whole all day. I have played fairways and MUNICIPAL courses faster than these. I won't return - I kind of wanted to ask for my money back but this place is obviously struggling if this is what they consider 'maintenance'. Absolute shame. At least we played fast. The beer after was cold.

Unless you get the hot deal for $25 with a cart DO NOT play here. Tee boxes are hard as a rock, fairways are basically rough and the greens are completely dead with huge cracks on them.

Heads up if you’re planning on playing in August 2024. Played a round there today and the course is in horrible condition. 6 of the greens are temporary and almost all of the rest of the greens are in really bad shape. No mention of any of this on the website and they are still charging full price. It’s a decent course and I usually enjoy playing there but some sort of notice that the greens were essentially unplayable would’ve been nice. The photo is the green on hole 2 and the majority of the greens look just like this.

The staff is super friendly but even for $36 the course isn’t really worth playing until then redo the greens. They’ve gotten so cracked there is no way to legitimately finish many of the holes on the course. If you’re just looking to practice they do have a grass range but I’d stick to that for now.

Some of the holes had like straight lava rock lookin sections. Would liked to have seen some of the edges mowed a little better. I haven’t been here for a while, seems like maintenance has gone downhill. Staff was very friendly, and still had a good day overall. Course has a cool layout just looks like she needs some work

Played here many times. Fun little course, not always in great shape, but has always been decent.

WARNING: greens are currently in horrible shape, almost un-playable. Looks like a fertilizer burn. Others just completely dried up cracked sod.

Greens are unplayable. The grass is long and crazy slow OR it's completely dead (cracked dirt) and silly fast. And it's all the same greens. But course was wide open and it was 35 on a Sunday afternoon

This is a difficult review, as I played this course earlier this year and it was in better condition, but with the wet weather it was saturated and was very challenging to play. This time I expected the course to be in better condition, but all the greens were burnt, the fairways were not mowed and with all the clover it was difficult even to find the ball when hit in the fairways with no roll out. Finally the T boxes were so dry it was extremely difficult to push the tees into the ground. I hope this is the last time I have to write a 1 star review.

Guys this place is rough

And for $55 with tax fee this is crazy

Charge me $30 and I could care less

This was possibly the worst conditioned golf course I have ever played. The fairways and greens both had huge patches of burned out grass. It was very difficult to tell the difference between the fairways and the rough. Both were extremely shaggy. It was a major waste of money.
