Heron Bay Golf & Country Club

The clubhouse is clean with a well stocked pro shop and very friendly staff. Fairways were in great condition. The greens could use a little work. I am assuming they have had a lot of rain so the greens were extremely soft and it did not appear that people repair their divots. No rakes in the traps but that is common with the current pandemic. No kitchen or bar currently but I was told it should be back up and running soon. I will definitely be back to play soon.

Play this course often, course is in best shape I’ve ever seen. Left side green on #10 needs some repair but other than that, top notch. I wish it was still under the ClubCorp umbrella but hey, I’ll play it anyway!!!

The staff was friendly and accommodating except, Christie (I believe was who checked us in) forgot to give us the code for the restrooms out on the course. We had to call the pro-shop from the restroom, to gain access. The course looks great from the every tee box. Every hole is lush and dark green, with very few (if any) weeds. However, there's no sand in the carts to repair divots. So, I'm not sure how long the fairways will be as nice as they were this day. The first cut of rough still allows you to see/find any wayward shots. The bunkers have not done well with the rain the course has received. They're dense and seem to be mixed with red clay (not purposely, that's the consistency of the sand that's there). The greens were receptive and rolling great. Overall, this was a good value for the conditions we experienced. The only reason I didn't give this course higher marks was due to the few items I've mentioned. I would play this course again.

Coarse always in good condition. A good test for anyone's game. Clean and many smiles from the staff. Price is reasonable. Will always play there!

A weekday round at heron bay is exactly what golf should be like. Nice pace, friendly staff and a well maintained course!

This course was quite enjoyable. The tee boxes and fairways were well kept. The greens were fast, but rolled true and were fair. Generally the fairways were quite wide which helped to make a more enjoyable round. If not such a drive from North Atlanta I would consider playing there more often.

This course and Crystal lake are very average golf courses that were redeemed by their affordable prices. Suddenly, due to COVID, everyone and their uncle is an avid golfer. Ownership responds by jacking up prices to take advantage of the situation. This is not a $50+ course; it’s a $35 course on a good day. Obviously some suckers out there are willing to pay these inflated greens fees, but I’m just not sure why. Fairways are patchy and you’re often penalized for hitting a good drive by having your ball sitting on bare earth. Bunkers are hard and are not tended to correctly. Greens are receptive but the clientele who plays this course are apparently not keen to repair their ball marks. Tee boxes are hit or miss depending on the hole. Pace of play is MISERABLE most days and you pretty much always have someone right behind because they don’t realize there is a fivesome in front of you. Where is the marshal? A $50+ course should have a marshal. Your repeat customers will remember you using a pandemic as a means to make an extra dollar. Not a good look.

I had never played this course and heard it was pretty difficult, but fun to play. To start, the young lady in the club house that checked me in didn't say a single word to me other than the price of 3 golfers. The carts were trash and the brakes on both barely worked after stomping on them 5-10 times. The bunkers were absolutely horrible and probably weren't tended to since before the quarantine started. The pace of play was extremely slow, it would have been helpful to have a Marshall on the weekends. Definitely expected more out of a round of golf when you pay what you do to play here.

Course plays 7000+ from the tips. Challenging course with great views and fast greens. Some tricky tee shots and must hit fairways to score. GIR is also crucial as the greens are hard and fast.....1 putts were hard to be had. Great value and will play again!

I read numerous above average reviews on this course so I decided to dive the 1 hour and 15 minutes to play. Weather was great and teed off on time. Unfortunately, there was a 5-some in front of our group that backed up the course all day. They finally let us play though on 12 and we didn’t see the group in front of them until hole 17. Didn’t see a Marshall on the course. Unfortunately, with the slow play our group got hit into on the fairway of par 5 9th.

Other than the greens, the course conditions were poor, especially on tee boxes and around the greens with a lot of areas with little to no grass “patchy”. I was very disappointed I drove over an hour to play a course in poor condition. It it wasn’t for the greens being excellent, I certainly would have left after 9. It was also very hard to believe a 5-some was out on a very busy Sunday afternoon.

I love this golf course! The greens are fast. The holes are all straight forward nothing tricky about it. My only suggestion is to add a set of tees that's around 6200. On the scorecard the options are 6000 or 6500.

I love the scenery and the course is tough. Beautiful lake and very challenging.

Course is just always fun to play with a couple of hard holes on the back side.

But, can not beat it.

Played the course on a really quiet Sunday afternoon as a single so I got around in less than 2.5hrs. Very few people out. The layout was challenging. Lots of elevation changes which meant that there were some odd lies. Fairways were still well maintained even though it was still early in the season. Greens well fast and will get faster. There were also some very beautiful holes up against the lake. A must play. Will come back once the season starts.

This course is definitely challenging! I enjoyed the oar 3s. The long par 4s are tough but it pretty balanced when playing from the member tees.

Better be close to the hole on your approach - more than 15-20 feet is three putt waiting to happen even though the greens were aerated recently. Can’t wait for the summer. A little wet but overall a good place to play on a beautiful day.
