Fun day on the course!

New greens were ok but a little slow. Otherwise, it was a nice day, not crowded, good play pace. Would recommend.

New Greens

Greens have been replaced with Tifeagle grass. They are rolling very nice, very minor bare grass on the edge of greens. Fairways are near perfect. Only one tee box in bad shape. Played on a Friday morning and finished in under 4 hours as a threesome. One of the best courses for the money. Staff is great.

VERY DISAPPOINTED ON FATHER"S DAY!

I am absolutely appalled that neither the Heron Bay Staff nor GolfNow gave any heads up that everyone of the 18 Greens had previously been destroyed and were virtually unplayable! None of them had been watered in a very long time, there had been some type of chemical applied so there were virtual 1/4" inch cracks or gaps on the surface that made true putting impossible! They had been rolled very hard, and if you made the mistake of leaning on your putter while on a green you very easily could have landed on your Backside!

We learned after the turn that the course will be closed beginning today 6/18 while the greens are replaced! It should have been closed YESTERDAY! Our threesome had all driven over a hour to play on Father's Day, and we should have left after the first two or three holes!

Being a member of GolfNow's Golf Pass play, and thus prepaying for the benefit of discounted savings, I feel as though I have certainly been mistreated! I have played Heron Bay multiple times over the past four years and have enjoyed the course, but the lack of any shared information on the course conditions and greens Today, has ruined that for me and unfortunately I will not return.

Total Turf Failure

Greens were completely dead, and I mean baked out, fungus, cracked up... looked like a brown desert flats. Hard as a rock. It was impossible to hold a green or putt on them. This course should have been closed... which, they were closing the following day to do a full renovation of the greens. So, I hope to go back in a few months after they get that sorted because I love this track.

Otherwise, pace of play was a struggle. There were a few Marshalls circling, but I don't think they were really pressing anyone to pick up the pace. Someone up there was slowing it down. We had 4 groups on a hole at times!

Good Course

Course was good. Excellent fairways offering a bit of a challenge but not too difficult for the average golfer. Only drawback is that the greens were in terrible shape, would’ve done better putting in the parking lot

Under Construction

This is a nice course, but the greens were the worst I had ever seen. I spoke with the lady in the pro shop who told me they were ripping them up and putting in Bermuda grass on Tuesday. I’m assuming they stopped caring for them at all as they were lol dead with lots of damage. The greens were basically unplayable. It will be a great course once the revitalize the greens, but I wish someone would have disclosed the conditions of the greens prior to us paying $84 per person to play. I will play again in a few weeks once the greens are finished.
