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.

Great Course

First time playing. Will play there again. Great staff. Very busy day so initially no carts we could take to driving range, but they had someone shuttling to range. It limited us in spending time on all the practice ranges. Pace was slow for this day. Enjoyed the day on the course. Great condition considering our lack of rain.

Heron creek

Our round started off on The Marsh. It took over 2.5 hours to play 9 holes with a lot of waiting. There was a ranger that was trying to speed things up. This 9 was a bit rough some of the greens and fairways needed work.

We played the next 9 on The Creek and pace improved and so did the conditions. Our foursome thoroughly enjoyed this 9.

Staff were excellent. Grounds are well kept.

If both nines were like The Creek I would have rated this course a 5*.

DO NOT PLAY THIS PLACE

What a complete rip off. This place is a goat lot.....and not even sure goats would eat there. Our foursome paid 125.00 per person to play this course(135.00 including fees). We were in the area and played 5 different courses in 6 days and this was by far...by far .. the worse course. The conditions from tees to greens were pathetic. Place has a lot of nerve getting the rates they charge. Believe me I understand the rates in Florida you pay now and the other 4 courses we played were in the range of Heron but were very nice. Who ever is rating this course positively must be r must be related to the owner. PLEASE BELIEVE me.... Horrible place to play a round of golf
