Great day
Course in great shape. Had received few inches of rain days before so a bit soggy but the greens were great xcellent and fastest I’d seen here.
Allowing a five some out on a Sunday Morning wasn't the best idea. They may have joined up themselves but it slowed down play behind them, until we skipped a hole to play through. Understandable that there was no ranger, but frustrating!
Course is nice and a variety of challenging holes. Greens are fast and tricky. Enjoyed the round
Fast greens
The course is, of course, in winter conditions. As such, the fairways are tight and in some places nearly bear. The greens, however, are in really very decent condition and they are FAST. Good opportunity to practice that putting stroke!
Scenic Views
This is a nice course as you have to shape your shots to score low. Do not get side tracked by the nice homes and the lake, the greens roll true and you are rewarded for being in the fairways. I like the long part 3 hole where you have to be long or left. The green is huge but just don't miss it. Some of the fairways are huge so you can let it rip on some par fives as they are reachable in two. The tougher holes are some par 4s. If you can hit your 4-7 irons good you are practically looking at birdie or par putts on those. Well, I had fun and will be back as I reside here in Henry County.
Heron Bay is Iconic
Heron Bay offers a tour like challenge that makes the average golfer feel as though they're in the pros playing field. I found that the course has some very difficult holes that make pars feel genuine and earned. I have played this course numerous times and find that the course is just better and better. Heron Bay should be a top pick on your reservation radar for a weekend round.
WOW! Great Experience and Just Fun
I like the layout of the course. Great staff, from the guy in the ProShop to the Cart return guy, they were friendly and professional. I recommend this course.
We love hearing about our golfers' experiences, teronzo. We're glad you enjoyed the layout and appreciate your feedback from your round with us. Thanks for choosing Heron Bay!
Good layout
I will play it again so I can get used to the greens couldn't make no puts what is a good golf course to play a Michael Carter-Williams
Thank you for your review, uleeks. We will pass along your positive experience to our team and hope you'll be back again soon to work on shaving a few strokes off with your putting!
Mike Tyson
This is not a first timers course. I’m sure it will get better if I will play the second and third time however it was very challenging with the walkers the tree lining different elevation of the greens made it a challenging course. The scenery was remarkable though.
Hi Vamey33. We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! Thank you for playing Heron Bay Golf & Country Club.
Nasty attitude of clubhouse staff
Upon arrival for my reservation I was told by this older Caucasian guy that the computer was down so there was no way to check if I had a reservation. No problem, I showed the guy my reservation in the GolfNow app. He said "I still can't tell if you already paid in advance." So, thankfully I had an emailed receipt proving I paid, so I showed him that. He then asks another guy behind the desk(staff I assume) if he could pull up the system on his phone which at this point I'm starting to suspect something else is going on other than the computers being down. So I told him my receipt is proof enough that I paid and politely asked where were the golf carts. I also informed him that I had a friend who's paid for his reservation seperately coming as well. I called my friend and told him of the computer situation and to be prepared to show his emailed reciept. Well he did just that but the older Caucasian guy at the register put him through the whole mess about the computer as well even though he showed him his receipt. So, when my friend asked where the golf carts were, he was told that he only paid for half a reservation and he wasnt entitled to a golf cart, plus he needed to be wearing a collared shirt although we saw 3 other caucasian people playing in a t-shirt as well (it was 94 degrees out). My friend decided not to make a big stink about it because he felt like they were looking for a reason to revoke his reservation. I feel we were completely disrespected by the staff there and from now on I'm going to video my experiences in the clubhouse to legally protect myself against what I feel are people who don't particularly care for African Americans playing at that course. Since they didnt know me or my friend from Adam im open to a more accetable excuse why they behaved so badly? Im happy to report though it's going to be one of my most played courses.

Thank you for coming out during the last few dog days of summer, Golfspiel! We're glad you enjoyed the course and hope you'll play another round at Heron Bay this fall!
Very generous fairways and greens. Played at 8:30 A.M. in 3:45 minutes as a twosome between 2 foursomes. Bent grass greens were in excellent shape.
Thank you for your review and for sharing your experience at Heron Bay reeltime! We're glad you had an enjoyable, quick round and hope to see you again soon!
Beautiful and fun course
Very nice layout. Holes were fun and the views down by the water are awesome! Conditions were pretty good. Even though it’s been dry the greens were well maintained.
Hi ChiefSpeedy. We appreciate you leaving a review and rating us. We will inform the entire team, so they know their hard work is paying off. We look forward to having you back at Heron Bay Golf & Country Club!
Nice round after work!!!!
Heron Bay is one of the best layouts in Atlanta and well worth the money. Dont have to roll the ball because the lies are great everywhere. Greens were good but not great. Bunkers might need a little love but everything about this course rules. A must play if you ever visit Atlanta. Got to use all your clubs to navigate this track!!!!
Thank you for your review and recommendations for other golfers, shotglassdog. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Heron Bay Golf & Country Club and hope to see you again soon.
How dry I am
This golf course was burned to a crisp. Don’t they have water to put on the fairways. Tee boxes were so hard it was difficult to tee up your ball.
Thank you for taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass along your feedback to the staff so they can work to make changes. Thanks for visiting Heron Bay.
