Organized, staff friendly
This was our 3rd time on playing the course on my birthday ( St. Patty's Day). Everything runs smoothly from the cart staff to the pro shop check in staff to the starter who not only was friendly but gave us excellent tips and why they were runing 90 degree rule. It doesn't cost more to make you feel welcome! The ranger respectfully moved groups along when needed and kept us posted as to the progress.
Pretty good afternoon price with Teeoff discount. Course is playable and women friendly with more playable distances for my wife than many courses we play. Greens were not slow but ran true. With range balls included, it's a good value. We'll be back when we're in town again.
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round, dgrichards! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Heron Creek Golf and Country Club - Oaks/Marsh Course.

After making the turn, more groups jumped in front of us to turn our hole 10 into a 25 minute hole and a round of 5 hrs 10 minutes.
Course and employees were great, just a long round.
Thanks so much for the great review, u721945918. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Heron Creek Golf and Country Club - Marsh/Creek Course.
Loved the track
Heron Creek is not for the timid or inexperienced golfer. It is a very challenging course, but also a very fair course. From the correct Teebox, the water can play a major role in your final score. I played in a group that played from three different boxes. Blue, white and green. Our tee shots were almost always within 15 yards of each other, exactly as they should be. The course is perfectly laid out in that regard. I believe the slope rating should be more difficult than it is. I will be back.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, kdickson111. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Heron Creek Golf and Country Club - Oaks/Marsh Course thanks you!
Great track!
Of all the courses I have recently played in the area, this one was in the best shape by far. This course is not for beginners. Lots of water comes into play and the green complexes are indeed complex! I play a lot, so I truly enjoyed it.

Awful pace of play ruins great course
Have played here twice recently and the course management is simply awful. Obviously overbooked all the time. Pryor time it took about an hour to play the first two holes. Recent round was 5 hours with 3 and 4 groups on a hole at one time. Long waits in every tee box. So you wait and wait then feel rushed by group behind right on your tail. No fun playing that like that. It’s a difficult course so tee times must be spread out to accommodate general skill level (and age) of most of the clientele. It’s a great course with lots of challenges on every hole but I won’t be going back-at least not in season because pace is untenable.

Heron Creek
We love playing Heron Creek. Course was in great condition. Unfortunately for us we didn't know they had overbooked the course.
Heron Creek rangers are sticklers for pace of play. Well that day they were apologizing because we went off a half hour late-1:34 instead of 1:06-pace was slow waiting on every shot every hole.
Very different from when we normally play there..
We finished with about 10 minutes of light left.

Disappointed
Heron Creek has been my favorite course in the Venice/North Port area for the past 5 years. The price has gone up each year we have been coming down but conditions yesterday were very disappointing. The range was is terrible shape to start the day. The fairways were in poor shape and the pace of play was 5 plus hours🤮.The ranger was out in the Creeks course for the first nine yet still 2.5 hours, perhaps consider spreading groups better across the three nines? No ranger on the Oaks the second nine and pace slowed even more. We allowed a twosome to play through yet the foursome in front of them never allowed them to go through (the foursome had 3 carts and one rider observer). This is unacceptable and where was the ranger? No beverage cart either, 5 hours in 86 degree weather with one water station?? Cmon Heron Creek,you have a great facility that can do much better, we know, we’ve experienced it.
