Heron Reach

I played on my own and found the course to be a very interesting lay out. I was behind a group for 4 holes but they were kind enough to let me go through at the first decent opportunity.

I was able to break 90 despite 2 7s, 1 8, and two 3 putts for bogies.

Played Yellow tees and the par 3s were reasonable and I enjoyed making par on 3 of them and a bogie 3 putt on the other. Par 5s were reachable in 3 for an old 73 year old like me.

Great condition considering the amount of rain we had recently

Still a little damp in places, but overall fantastic considering the record amount of rain we’ve had.

Greens and fairways very good.

You will lose a few balls in the many lakes!

Quite a long course, and very challenging.

Not hilly at all, so a lovely walk round too!

One of the best in Blackpool.

I do the buggy every week.

Great course, play most Thursdays. I’m great at the buggy around the course. Greens are firm in the summer months. Buggy’s. Plenty of water for me to buggy past.

Herons reach 20/7/23

Course is in good condition although the tees are a bit scruffy. The course has long rough and has tight fairways. Lost a lot of balls and didn't find any. I play off 22 and can generally hit a reasonably straight ball but this course was too tight for me. I won't be playing here again

Challenging course with great facilities

Fantastic practice facilities and a very challenging course. Be straight off the tee or you’ll find yourself racking up a big score with out of bounds and water everywhere. Pace of play was horrendous though I must say. I was playing solo and I was queuing with two groups on each tee box. 4.5 hours is completely unacceptable.

Good choice

This was the first time playing this course for either of us, but we both enjoyed the challenge.A good variety of holes on quite a windy day.

Our only gripe was the cost of food and drink in the bar afterwards.

Not very good

I thought the course fairways, bunkers and greens were terrible, maybe due to the weather but the fairways were shocking. the whole course was like playing in a muddy farmer field

The staff and facilities are fantastic but the course is not worth the money and I'm glad i didn't join

Golf Course

Good course and in good condition for the time of year, in particular when most courses have restrictions in place. Although a shortened course, no other restrictions were in place and the greens were true and putts rolled out good. Excellent value for money.

Herons reach

Played there for the first time, I was expecting fantastic fairways and greens. I know its winter but thought the fairways would be better. That's all the course layout is brilliant. I do think the green fees are a little high. We'll worth once in awhile for a round.
