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.

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.

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.

Good course

Foursome in front of use were extremely slow after being asked to speed up play. Ranger never revisited them. There were 2 open holes in front of them. We waited on every tee other foursomes got frustrated and skipped the last 2/3 holes. Slow play frustration resulted in the group hitting into use one ball hitting my wife. A good walk( ride) spoiled.
