Heron Lakes Golf Club - Great Blue Course

Nice golf course. I'd first played it 18 years ago, and recall its many water features as being both very "natural" -- and very beautiful as well. Now, the water features have been "let go" -- Mother Nature appears to be reclaiming them; to marsh and wetlands. I'm all for Mother Nature, but I think that course management should have done a lot more to keep the beauty that once existed, versus letting green algae-type plants overtake the waters. The waters of Heron Lakes aren't nearly as attractive as they were in the younger days of the course.

Also, people need to be more responsible in fixing their ball marks on the greens. Far too many weren't fixed well, and many not fixed at all.

I really love this course. It's such a nice contrast to other courses in the area, because of it's links style play. It's very well maintained. The only thing is that when they are allowing cars to race at the race track next door, it's very distracting. Great though for a public course.

The course was full but managed well. We didn't have to wait to hit until 13th hold then a few minutes each hole until we finished. They spread tee times out to avoid being too crowded, smart idea. Course was in very good shape .

I had heard great things about this course and all were true. Everything about this place is beautiful and well kept. Challenging holes but very fun layouts. Really allows you to utilize many different shots. Several holes are high risk high reward. Will 10/10 play again

I've always shyed away from trying blue, as they've said it's quite difficult. It's not bad, I was surprised multiple times how much I enjoyed this rtj design. Sure if you miss right it could be terrible but just play smart.

Most importantly it was packed! Yet pace of play was perfect, they managed the tee sheet perfectly. Or people were respectful of distance . Either way had a great time.

Yes there was a lot of geese poop, but it was dry so i didn't notice much.

This time the goose poop wasn’t the only obstacle, the wind roars across this flat course making it a real challenge making me practice course management.

This time of the year there is way too many birds and the dropping all over the course makes it not so fun to play.

The course is definitely one of the harder courses around. 60 plus

sand bunkers, a lot of water too! The one thing wrong is they have geese. Not just a couple, but hundreds. Geese everywhere. You will be kind of grossed out having to clean your ball all the time now your towel has goose all over it. I ware two gloves to keep my hands clean.

Unfortunately this course does not feel the need to let their customers know they’ve completely buried the course in sand and aerated the greens. Other courses let the customer know before booking if aeration has been done but not here and the tee boxes are 2 inches deep in sand... unplayable and full price?! By Felecia!

I have played here before and enjoyed it! Today was a bad experience. We had a large group in front who were tearing up the course with carts - spinning out on tee boxes driving on the greens and through bunkers and sliding the cart in the paths during our play. We told the marshals and he could care less. Said it wasn’t his problem and he had to stay were he was. The pace of play was very slow as they were more interested in screwing around, yelling and cussing than playing golf.

It may have been a one time incident but the marshals attitude was wrong and this group rude behavior ruined my groups experience.
