Nice track

Course is in good shape and staff is very accommodating. Lost some Pro-v’s on the cart path and the groundskeeper found me to return them. Impressed all the way around.

One of the best courses I tried in Atlanta

I’m from Phoenix and I’ve been in Atlanta for about 6 months. So I’ve been trying to hit as many courses as possible. I would say Heron bay is the best course I’ve visited so far, I played at 14 different courses to date. Fairways, greens are well kept. Cart girl available, challenging yet forgivable course and the price is a deal.

This course is very convenient for me.

Overall the course was good. But two things needs improvement, tee boxes were hard on some of the holes. And greens needed to be in a better condition. Bunkers needs to be in a better conditions. Barely any sand in bunkers.

An absolute “Must play coarse”

Visiting Atlanta for work for several months and a few of the locals mentioned Heron Bay as a coarse to play. I finally got out for a round and I have to say I was very pleased with Heron bay overall, pleasant staff, amazing coarse and pace of play. I consider that a great trifecta to have for a coarse.

The grass is well kept on the fairway and greens, all I can say is “it was like cutting butter with a warm knife”

I would definitely recommend playing a round at Heron bay, I will be back!

Another decent south side course

Continuing my exploration of what the South side of Atlanta has to offer in terms of golf, I had an enjoyable round at Heron Bay. The course is long and challenging (I had played the tips, which were 7,300 yards; players can modulate difficulty and length by moving forward). Course conditions were fine. I'd give it three and half stars. Tees were mostly good, fairways were lush and rough was reasonable. The greens were slow and soft which is what I'd expect at moderately priced course with bent grass greens in the heat of the summer (I struggle to understand why courses try to use bent grass with the heat in this part of the country - you have to leave it way longer than optimum or it will burn out in the summer). Having not played here before I got burned on a couple holes from ignorance, but look forward to getting my own back next time I play it.

Liked the course

Played this course a number of times. It's always in descent shape. Fairways were full, bunkers average. The greens were beat up more from over use but overall not bad.

Very nice condition, greens are bent grass and babies daily. The watering of the greens consistently helps them I’m sure. Very satisfied!!

A good course

The course is in good shape but the traps need a lot of work and the greens are stressing because they are bent.
