Course was good

Great course for the money. Greens rolled good and considering the heat and lack of rain all was good.

Do Better

It is unreal a course would continue to charge full price when the greens are absolutely horrendous. Usually this course is in really good shape. I've been playing here for a long time and have never seen a course punch there greens this bad and in the middle of summer. Burnt circles all over the greens on every green. Looks and rolled like someone took an aerator and skid it across every green. Mind you we paid 40 dollars on a HOT Deal and that was way overprices. My friend was not so lucky as they got him for over 50 dollars on a course that should have been 25 or less for the conditions of the greens. I have never seen them this bad....seriously i never write reviews on bad things and try to understand difficulty of having workers, weather etc. for courses to maintain but there is no excuse for this. I will be surprised if i ever go back here anytime in the near future and everyone should stay away at least for a few weeks until maybe they can save them.....DO NOT pay full price for this course.

Fix your ball marks!!! I

First one out on the course so pace was great, not sure i would have been otherwise. Course is in good condition except the greens which tore up from lack of golfers repairing their ball marks on any of the greens. Not sure who the golf community in this state believes is responsible for going behind them and fixing their ball marks, but it is rampant problem.

Great Course minus bunkers

Everything was perfect except for bunkers. Greens, fairways and staff were all great. Practice facility great, pro shop under construction but should be really cool when done.

I’ll be back! I recommend this course to anyone.

Nice course

Overall a nice course. Good practice green and driving range. Fairways and greens ( which roll great ) for the most part are very nice. We played mid-week and finished in 4 hours for a 4-some so good pace of play. My only complaint is the bunkers need work and I do think they are trying. Some are basically hardpan and some nice white fluffy sand. I realize bunkers are penalty areas, but some consistency would be nice. Just FYI, no food and beverage due to a remodel except for snacks in the pro-shop so don't come hungry or expect to ice down any drinks. The GolfNow hot deal for $35 we paid is a fair price.

Greens and tees good; fairways rival Hartsfield landing strips. Cart paths terrible. No drinking water on course. Hardpan on fairways and practice tee.. Many, many years of neglect, lack of maintenance....peeling paint on pro shop windows, etc.

Greens are superb, pace is opposite

Took 5 hours to play 18, which really negates all the positives which is amazing greens, good fairways and average tees and bunkers. Also $70 is way too pricey for a muni of this caliber.

Has Been Better

Superintendent needs to step up maintenance. Tee boxes were uneven, bunkers were like concrete, poor course drainage.

Great Course South of Atlanta

Heron Bay will not disappoint you. You will find a great layout, with plenty of traps and winding creeks that you will have to take into consideration on certain drives, layups and shots to greens. The tees could have been in better condition, but the greens were fine. There should have been a set of tees at around 5500 yards. Calling the tees at 6003 yards "Senior Tees" defies the move to Play it Forward. If you want to play a challenging course, try Heron Bay.
