Very nice course

Well maintained course. Plant of challenges, but every hole is fair other than a few of the greens. Would definitely play the course again and again.

Good course

Course was in good shape. Biggest gripe was fairways and tee boxes hadn’t been mowed in at least a couple days. Made no sense, bc while there had been a little rain lately, it was nowhere near enough to not mow. We definitely caught several flyer lies from the middle of the fairway. Greens were smooth, but super slow due to not mowing. I get that once it gets hot you can’t cut them too short. But they could have cut these a little more. Course layout was great. Had lunch there after. Food was decent. Service was on par with any course that had a forced 18% tip- which is always extremely apathetic… not bad, and not great. Just skirting by.

All things considered, not rushing back, but would go back at some point.

Love playing there

Everyime I play here i have a great time. When we got there it seem like there were a lot of people waiting to go out. When we went out there was a group in front of us. We played a a real good pace, 18 holes in 4 hours. Conditions were real good. I would highly recommend playing here.

Heron Creek is Awesome!!

The guard at the gate was friendly, the bag drop was efficient. The pro shop is well stocked & personnel were polite and welcoming. The starters were prompt & marshaled the course frequently. Enough can't be said for the condition of the courses, tees, fairways & greens, all are lush!!! I think the practice facilities are the best in the area.

Great shape

The course is normally in great condition. Today was no exception. Glad it’s May and the rate dropped a little bit so us full time Floridians can play!

Nice layout. Some tee boxes overgrown. Greens slower then usual. Still recommend playing this coarse.. pace of play extremely slow today. Ranger did finally speed group ahead up some.. Over 4 1/2 hours 😢. Usually not that slow.

Great off season deal

Great day at Heron Creek. Course was in great shape especially given the drought. Fairways and greens in good condition. Staff was friendly and helped speed up the group ahead of us. Only complaint (and nothing to do with Heron Creek) was on the back 9, some idiot ahead of us was eating sunflower seeds and leaving the husks on the green. I’ve heard this was a “thing” but never encountered it until today. Hopefully they can triangulate on him and ban him.

Fun and challenging

I thought the course was in very good shape, and the pricing wasn’t bad. The greens are faster than I’m used to this time of year coming from the north, and they definitely have some tricky greens. I will definitely be back there.

Great course! Loved it!

I played the Creek then Oaks. Course was in great condition, even with drought. Best course I played during the week. Very challenging but fair. We had to wait on our shots alot BUT that was the ONLY negative about the course. The 4some in front of us played slowly due to their age. I understood since that will be me (hopefully) in 25 years. You definitely can't walk the course. Lots of distance between holes. But I loved it! Can't wait to come back next year & play it again.
