Heron Lakes Golf Club - Great Blue Course

I have hesitated to play here again but the issue of the acres of goose poop seemed to be a thing of the past. The course is vey good shape, the greens were wet and slow but with the heat expected I can understand.

Keep it going !

I get the urge to let people relax. That is the point of playing after all. We should never be approaching a five hour round though.

Over all a nice course to play.

Greens were in very good conditions. Bunkers a little wet. Fairways were beat up. Lots of open divots.

Staff was friendly.

Surroundings a bit noisy, as they where training at the racetrack.

My brother and I had fun playing this course.We teamed up with 2 other guys who were very friendly. Course was in excellent shape. Staff very friendly.

Covid is over please bring back the sand to fill in the million divots on the Par 3's! It really feels like a war zone!

You cant even find a place to stand without stepping into a divot!

Or at least have the grround crew fill in the holes at least once a week

This is really becoiming bothersome

It was nice being able to get out mid week and play this course. The course is in good shape for the amount of play it gets. Greens and tee boxes we good, some bunkers could use a little love, but overall it was great. I'm really only there to golf, but some of the staff inside needs an attitude adjustment. When you reply with please and thank you's, then get no response but an inconvenient look it's bad for business. If you don't enjoy golf or course hospitality then find a different job. I'm sure everyone complains about it, but the parking is poor for the amount of traffic they get. I would still recommend both of the courses Heron Lakes offers for any golfer, each offering different styles of layout makes it a nice place to play golf at.

Interesting course and some what different from other publics, harder than others. Weather was also good!

This has always been one of my favorite Portland area courses. As public municple courses go, this one is pretty challenging (127 slope).

Course had some fun holes, greens were in good shape, fairways had a lot of divots and bunkers had almost no sand. My biggest complaint though was the noise, it's right next to a race track (literally beside) so check the race schedule unless you want to be deaf by the end of your round. Not exactly a peaceful, relaxing game in nature! The few holes not on the track were on a busy rail corridor so we had no reprieve.

Played in March, dry but rained in prior days. Course handles the water pretty well. There was standing water and wetness in low spots but most of the fairways were pretty dry and the greens were really firm and fast.

Course gets lots of play from kooks so it’s hard to keep up. People mostly don’t fix their ball marks or replace their divots. It’s a shame but the course seems to work hard fixing the lame client base.

Bunkers were kept nice. Some courses don’t maintain them in the winter.

Layout is really nice!

Geese in a the main problem. So many geese! Poop everywhere! Hard to keep grass growing. But again, they seem to do the best they can with it

Spring conditions. Course needs a few more mowings. Should get better in a month or two.
