Played it before.

Course is in excellent condition. Greens were a bit slow but otherwise no complaints. Try to play here as often as affordable.

Expected more

I was a little disappointed having played this course last year. The course itself wasn’t in the best condition, it was OK but not up to the standards that you would pay $75 for. One thing I can say is a practice facility is excellent. If you do play this course make sure you get over there an hour earlier so you could take advantageThe greens are OK not bad but they had some type of coating on it I don’t know why. It is a tough course to play you must keep the ball straight there are some narrow holes and a lot of carryovers water and marsh.

Worth the money

Other than a”shotgun start”, the course is simply amazing. Great layout, can be challenging but fair and very playable. Has several tees for different handicap golfers. Friendly staff and very helpful

Top notch!

Course is well laid out and greens are excellent. Nice mix of sand traps and waste bunkers. Really enjoyed playing the course. Driving range included which was a bonus.

Great Pairing and Perfect Greens

Dramatic difference between the front and back layout - greens mostly consistent. Nice outting.

dislike shotguns

Dont like shotgun starts, especially when I'm Not aware that my Tee Time is a Shot gun.

Fund ouselves in an overcrowded place, no chance to hit some balls on the range, Tees are double occupied, etc. Not acceptable because I've booked a regular tee time

Refused to play and cancelled our tee time at Heron's Glen pro shop

It clearly says when you book the 1pm Saturday tee time that it is a shotgun start. The course is amazing, this guy completely missed out. I would play here everyday if I could.

Dazed and confused

Very good conditions overall, except for slow greens. Good luck finding the 10th tee, even if you are a member. It's over a half mile away from the clubhouse thru winding roadways and cart paths. It is what it is.

I am not a member, I followed a member to the tenth tee, it only took a few minutes and it was not that hard, they could have better signs but don't be discouraged. Its an awesome course, why complain about that.

Good experience

As usual, this course delivers. The only drawback remains the usual concern - the course is so spread out, you can actually get lost between holes. That has been expressed in previous postings, and remains valid. Otherwise, an enjoyable experience once again.

Shot gun start

Was a little sceptical if a shot gun start and how slow it would be. Was

Pleasantly surprised. 3.5 hour round.

The ranger passes us at least 5 times. We played as a twosome and seldom had to wait.

So great pace and always enjoy playing heron glen. Very good practice area.

Grass in the fairways

This course is well maintained and has great grass in the fairways, no need to hit into the rough to use a fairway wood. Although spread out, the course is clearly marked to get you where you want to be.

Fantastic

The greens were just airated so putting was tough but fairways and tee boxes were fantastic. Spotted a gator on the first hole also. Anyway, plenty of water and ice on the course. Great layout and played 18 holes in 3 1/2 hours on a Saturday. Couldn't believe it is possible. Thank you

Nice track great staff

Herons Glen is a nice course and offers a challenge for all players. This time of year you can expect the greens to be less than perfect. The staff is very attentive and always friendly. The practice facility is great and adds to the value of your round. There are a lot of choices in the area and Herons Glen is worth checking out.
