Disappointing

Greens and fairways were both in terrible condition. Shocked and disappointed as Heron Creek is one of favorites.and brought two guests to play it. It is not worth the money that price in the condition it is at this time.

I was very impressed with the whole layout of Heron Creek. The course was in great shape, the weather was perfect and we were paired with a couple of nice guys. Perfect day of golf!

Nice day.

Very professional, attentive staff start to finish. We played Marsh and Creek nines, course in beautiful shape, greens were ideal. Only suggestion is to have more yardage markers in the fairways. Many sprinkler heads were devoid of yardage indications, had to do some guessing.

Slow play

4:45 round

They say it should be 4:00. Ha. 4:15 would be a better goal? But still missed big time

Good Experience

Heron Creek does an admirable job with public play. Staff are friendly and practice area is among best in area. All three 9's offer a fair challenge if you select the proper tees. Pace of play is always a challenge in-season. Ours was 4:20 today. Right on what their ranger told us. If golfers would simply learn to be better at ready golf and park the carts between the flag and the next tee. Walking back to your cart to the right of the green, when your next tee is to the left is a waste of time and inefficient. Saving one minute a hole is 18 fewer minutes a round! If everyone had been a caddie as a kid, they'd understand. You learned quickly where to drop the bags so you didn't have to carry them as far. Cart golf isnt mu h different. I'll step off my soap box now.

Great Course, nice people, average condition.

This is a great risk/reward course! There are lots of obstacles to hit over which is really fun. Greens and fairways are in very good condition for this time of year. It could be a 5 Star with a little more care. One beverage cart for 27 holes is light. One restroom/water stop per 9 holes is nice, but there were no cups for water. No free water on the carts. Conditions juts off the tee boxes, greens and fairways were in poor condition relative to the quality of the venue.

Overall though, we loved the experience!

We played the Oak & Marsh courses, a few of the greens on the Marsh Course were stressed and we were told they had some kind of mold problem.

Saturday Golf

Course was in good condition considering significant drought in this area. Staff friendly and helpful. Got a late start do due flat tire on one of the carts. Twosome behond did have to wait as expected. Get more friends. They did hit into us on 17 green, both players. One ball landing within 10 feet of me on the green. Could have been a really bad situation.

Nice course, but greens were inconsistent with regard to condition.

First visit to Heron Creek. Very friendly staff, nice amenities. Course is nice, but condition could have been better. Some of the greens were really "rough"!

We'd play it again, maybe in off season.

Big bummer

Very disappointed. Greens were in terrible condition, disease and giant patches of repairs. For the hype and the cost, I expected much more. Round took five hours to play, waited on every hole for group ahead of us, who were painfully slow. I’ve played fourteen other courses in the area since January 1 and would go back to all, but this one.
