Blue Heron Golf Course

Staff are very friendly. Greens are well maintained and ball rolls true. A couple of the greens had a rough patch but did not affect my play. The fairways are generally well maintained. The eleventh hole fairway is under repair so a little rough. Practice facilities are excellent. The scenery is incredible making for a relaxing round of golf. Very quiet on weekdays. Tee off early if playing a weekend. The new clubhouse is beautiful and the new owners are constantly making improvements. The restaurant has very good food at reasonable prices.

Greens are like putting on Costco floors. Fairways are chewed up. Seemed to be quite a bit of flooding going on seems to be sprinkler related but for 15$ you really can't complain. The food was good, but the waitress jacked out order up and they seemed to be out of stock on most the food on the menu.

The course is in a beautiful setting and could be a stellar course, but needs a lot of money. Its remote location will be a hindrance to getting traffic.
The current course is quite dismal. The fairways are just mowed farmland and really not a golf course. To make the course challenging they have fast greens and the pin placement makes it very difficult to get lucky.
I did enjoy being in the nature and listening to the birds and walking along the river. But I wanted to play golf and now take a walk in the park. It is remote so not quick to get to and the staff are average, not rude, but not overly friendly either.
A golf course that does not have air to clean your shoes and gear, has no business being open. You absolutely need it after walking through farmland.
I can't justify playing the course at even $20, because I'll still have a commute to get to it.

The scorecard looks like an easy course. I found the greens to be very hard and unreceptive to most shots. With some of the hole locations a missed 3 footer could turn into an 8 footer. The fairways were good for the most part.

This is the worst course ever. The course is poorly maintained. One hole we were hitting off dirt for almost 200 yards. The greens were very bad. I am sure glad I didnt pay full price. There where a lot of one and two players. The course didnt pair them up nor did they pair themselves up. People were jumping from hole to hole. Like they were twighlight golfers trying to get in as many holes as they could. One couple I talked to said they where on their second time around. The single behind us not only hit into us but drove the ball to where it almost hit me in the air. There is no marshal and a blatant disregard for golf acetic on this course. If you pay full price you are being robbed. We will never play this course again.

Typical small town course, Pretty flat, with no challenging features, Good value for a practice round.

Rained off and on for the whole round. Course played well with all the water! Greens were wet but real fast still! Great time playing! Will be back soon!!

You can play at your pace . Very friendly staff really good food.

I am not sure if prior reviews are for a different Blue Heron golf course but my experience was VERY DIFFERENT from recent reviews. The course is in pretty tough shape. Many of the tee boxes are mostly sand and dirt. The fairways are pretty thin and some are very hard (the ball rolls a mile!). Some of the greens are in good shape, they are fast as glass! Overall the course is pretty overgrown, they need to cut down brush in front of tee boxes.

We got a great deal, $15/round and that is not enough to make me go back. The staff is very friendly and accommodating so it's tough to write a bad review.

As mine is just one opinion, and apparently in the minority take it for what is it worth. If you keep your expectations in check you might not be as critical as me.

I wish I had pics to upload, they would definitely speak for themselves.

This course doesn't seem to employ anybody to marshall the pace of play. The past two times I've played here the individuals in front were oblivious to pace, keeping up or letting someone play through. Marshalls tend to help with this. The layout of the course doesn't lend itself to quick rounds either. "Longer" holes are all reachable and make for long waits. Fair course for beginners, but if you are better than average I would recommend not frustrating yourself here.

Can't beat a $22 round of golf. We got out mid day on Saturday and the round got pretty slow. Several rookies and younger kids out at that time of day.
The course was in pretty good shape and the club house is a great place to have a beer after your round.

Course is in great shape and definitely challenging. Great scenery make for a relaxing round.

we got a great rate package through Golfnow. The staff was extremely friendly, and we even got out early on the first tee. First time we've played the course since new ownership, and I have to say the greens are in great shape, and fast. Unfortunately that means I had several 3 putts. The pace of play was quick and we didn't have to wait. There are several very interesting holes on this course, over, or around the river. Oh, and they've trimmed the hedges and there is a great view of the river from a couple of teeboxes.

So this is the revamped and much improved old Carnation course- which wasn't really a course. Now, they have added a very nice clubhouse with a large deck, and best if all really spent time on the course itself... And it shows. Yes I did actually have a hole in one on #15, but I would still be really happy. Our round was 3.5 hours, greens here are FAST, and fairways are pretty generous on most holes. The restaurant has some great food, although most of the staff is quite young and it shows. But it's a small town and I don't mind... Just know they are growing up! Really reasonable. Enjoy

We had a young couple ahead of us that were taking forever. The young gentleman was also very partial to telling the F word at the top of his lungs while throwing his club across the course. We finally managed to pass them and were encountered by a group of 4 that you would think they were playing for a million dollars with how slow they were playing. I am very suprised there were no pros out and about.
It was 86 degrees out and did not see the beverage cart one time. This is the first course in which this was a problem. Not a deal breaker, however the pace of play needs to be enforced before I ever spend my money at this course again.

I have played this course for many years, it went through some tough times, but this year the course is really starting to shine. The new owners have been really taking good care of the fairways and greens are in great shape.

Greens generally in good shape. Fairways less so. Lots of leaves left on the fairway and rough making it hard to find balls. Hole 11 fairway still growing in. Easy to walk and 0636 Tee-time on a Sunday made for good pace of play.

I played the course for the first time in a tournament on 6/18 and enjoyed it so much that I made the 4O min drive back 2 days later to play it again because I wanted to play a solo around from the back tees..For $22 bucks I got a bucket of balls hitting from real grass at there range/ then walked 18. The course was wide open and I teed off at 845am on a beautiful day. Nice variety of dog leg L-R holes and greens. Nicely maintained...some chunky areas but above par for the average mini course.....Nice practice facility's / and the staff was very friendly...very easy course to walk as well...wish I lived a little closer....Restaurant Bar is very nice as well great food...Overall I would Highly recommend.

Much better under the new mgmt...........

Overall is was a pleasant round of golf. The fairways have some blemishes and there was quite a few (unmarked) greens under repair. Enjoyable, but probably wouldn't make the trip again. Felt overpriced for what if offers.
