Heron Creek Golf and Country Club - Creek/Oaks Course

I've played here for years. I have seen it in great shape in previous years but in 2023, it has not been good. Greens have been terribly slow, bumpy and some with no grass. The greens not only vary in difference from 9 to 9 but from hole to hole. The fairways are hit and miss with some good grass and others with no grass. Every time we play we have to play using lift, clean and place because it can be saturated from over watering. I will continue to play at Heron because of proximity but I really hope they get their act together with the condition of this once fine course.

I have read some of the ratings people have left and it makes wonder if some people even know what a nicely conditioned course is.

The employees are nice as well as the cart girls.

This is my honest assessment as of this day in October 2023. All my friends feel the same as I do.

Have never been disappointed golfing at Heron Creek. The course is always in great condition, at a fair price with the Big Summer Card. We thoroughly enjoyed our round there. It was particularly special for me, getting a hole-in-one at the #3 hole on the Creek Course. We played the Marsh-Creek combo of the three 9's available. In addition to a fun golf course, Heron Creek also has an excellent practice facility that is included with the greens fee. The restaurant is also excellent, with lots of choices at a reasonable cost. I only wish the course was closer to where I live (it's about a 45 minute ride).

The corse condition was good. No way a 4.5 rating ! The greens are slow, no GPS many blind shots ! Most shots into green are blind ! You rarely will get a view of green on approach shots.

With three nines there always seems to be a problem at the turn. At this round we were approached by two rangers who told us we had to be at the turn by 2:10 , we arrived at 2:00 and found 4 foursomes and no rangers, we asked them we they were coming from and the said the stopped for lunch and were told to go to this nine? There seems to be a lot of rangers here but they don’t seem to do anything.

We had the best time. From the moment we pulled into the parking lot. The ranger in the lot was on top of it. The pro shop and locker room stunning. The staff in the club house super efficient and kind. The starter was such a dear and very informative. The marshals we encountered were courteous and insightful, as well as encouraging. And then when we finished we spoke to a staff member from cape code and he was the sweetest. The cart girl was so funny and quick. Loved the layout and the course. Could use some better signage but maybe that’s me. I’ve never golfed anywhere with a better staff our course conditions. Challenging and amazing value for the cost. Thank you to all. .

Very nice, well maintained driving range. Putting and chipping greens were slow and bumpy, a sign of things to come. The layout is terrific with very generous fairways and some elevation changes which is rare in SW Florida. My biggest issue was with the greens. They were top dressed recently so very sandy and slow. Even so, there were many bare spots that were literally just sand. Also didn’t care for the long drives from green to the next tee. A few seemed like 1/2 mile treks. Another negative for me was no GPS in the carts, so bring your range finder and GPS map so you don’t miss the water hazards you might not be able to see. Staff was very helpful.

We really enjoyed ourselves on this course. The golf was great, but we were constantly nagged by the rangers to pickup our pace. Even though we were moving fairly well. We were playing best ball as a foursome, and we hardly saw anyone behind us waiting.

I wouldn't have minded once or twice notices...but it was constant.

Otherwise I'd go back, because the course was terrific.

very nice course (3 nines) (I played the oaks and marsh) a few of the holes you have to play target golf

Pace of play was hindered by a group, 3 groups in front of us.

That said the course was beautiful, well maintained, difficult at times and staff was knowledgeable, polite, accommodating and professional. Played many courses, this ranks at the top.

The facilities and course layout were great. However, the greens were not in good condition. They had apparently been punched recently and had not filled in yet.

Also, I reserved the tee time on line for 2 people and had to prepay it. A third person joined us and he was able to pay at the course and he paid $20 less than I did.

Play was slow for most of the round.

This was the first time playing here we enjoyed our day, The course was in great shape envy after that nights 5 inches of rain. The staff were friendly and helpful we will definitely play here again even with the long drive to get there.

We're localish. Whether it's the "in" season or summer, the folks here are always pleasant to deal with. They have three 9's and all of them are solid. (Oaks probably being the best). Good value and no complaints. When it's snowbird season expect slower pace of play(obviously).

Course in great shape, staff very friendly! Left a wedge on course, staff was most helpful with getting it back to me. Pace of play was perfect! Would definitely recommend to friends!
