Great Experience

Herron Creek is a fantastic tract that’s different every time I play. With three 9’s they’re able to mix it up and make it exciting and fun. I play there often during the season and the members are as friendly as their staff. I’ve never met a nicer group of rangers and starters in SW Florida. This is a great course that should be experienced.

Favorite Course in the Port Charlotte area

Love the course layout and elevations. Greens were in rough shape for this course but we still had a fun round. One of the few courses locally where you can consistently pull the driver out and the water holes add just enough to impact your club selection.

Rude ranger

I booked a round here so my son and I could enjoy what I consider to be a very good course. The problem came when a ranger approached our foursome and started screaming at us using vulgar language claiming we were holding up 10 groups in back of us. This was right after we had to wait for 2 groups to clear the tee box. My son was upset at us being unfairly singled out as we weren’t very far from the group in front of us. He was visiting us for one week and what I hoped would be a high point of the week instead turned in to the low point.

Could be exceptional

The course is dried out. Some greens were sandy,

It’s been dry , and as a result the course isn’t lush, but I would expect it to be so potentially, - it needs much moisture.

There are 3 9s we were told the beverage cart would be around, but were reminded there were 27 holes to cover.

We never saw the cart.

Excellent practice areas. Water stations strategically situated, but there were no cups at the stations,

We travelled just over an hour to play. The course was highly touted. Worth the trip ? Questionable but would like to play it again, maybe next season .

Very Nice Course

Our twosome played on a Saturday afternoon. There were two foursomes in front of us. They moved fast and we completed the round in four hours. There were rangers on the course monitoring play which seemed to keep people moving.

The course was in great shape. It was challenging with plenty of bunkers and water. The greens were very fast.

We enjoyed the round and will definitely play it again.
