The Heron Country Club - Heron/Hawk

Nice course well maintained. Great friendly staff

Booked a tee time of 7.52am through Golf now. Upon arrival was told by the pro shop that this time was never available so would need to wait until 8.08 (this was not really an issue)

Then told that we would be playing the back 9 of the main course and then the other spare 9 hole course that they have (this is pretty poor) when I had booked to play the Heron/Hawk.

No communication from Golf now or The Heron around this situation and still charged the same money.

Very disappointed

Very good and challenging course, got stuff behind a tournament day but that can happen anywhere.

Greens are amazing and holes are all challenging and different to provide great variation

I used to be a member of this course in the 1990's to 2015. It was always good but the condition could vary quite a bit with issues with the bunkers in particular at the time and Clubhouse a bit run down. Now the course and facilities are much smarter. Some minor changes to the course have helped and the bunkers were better. The drought had taken its toll on the fairways with virtually zero rainfall round here for 4 months, so that was understandable but the greens were pretty good taking that into account. So decent improvements all round - but at a cost, the normal green fees are way to high for what it is. The twilight price is about right though, so if you can do that it is worth it.

Slightly higher price than expected for a twilight @£35 ( same as a full members club (Romford for example) but having said that greens were great, true & pretty quick. Fairways little burnt like everywhere at the moment but we're consistent to pkay from. Staff very welcoming. Good layout & mix of holes, overall good venue

No start Marshall, players (perhaps first time visitors) starting from the wrong course resulting in a log jam as groups were redirected to their correct start 9 hole course.(Hawk / Heron). Took longer to finish the round, disruptive and frustrating. As for the course, reasonable condition but a number of greens certainly need attention. Overall, a disappointing experience.

We teed off just before 5pm but soon realised that most behind us were in buggies so had to left a 2 ball through.

The course was a bit samey & the bunkers were stony & not the best. Little or no direction to each next hole which was very annoying.

A good local course but there are better ones around.

The bar area was nice & barman was very accommodating.

Course is great condition, pace of play was excellent for a Twilight,

The quality of the course and the venue is improving all the time and the friendliness of all the staff remains as excellent as it has been for some time now…

Played Courses heron / hawk both in good condition and great test of golf . Staff were very friendly and efficient, upstairs bar area and patio are lovely places for post and pre round drinks and banter.

Excellent condition for February. Tough course but enjoyable.

Really annoyed that when I called the club on the day to check the tee time (Golf Now and email confirmations were not aligned), the club pro shop simply confirmed the time. They failed to mention that the course was not as playable due to frozen fairways and greens and worse than that, it was carry only - so my playing partner and I had to lug around trolley bags. Not impressed with the service - we should have been offered a refund and to not play given the conditions were so bad that any shot near a green would bounce up 50 feet plus in the air as ground was like concrete. I love this course, but they really let themselves down on the day, and will put me off returning any time soon.
