Heron Lakes Golf Club - Great Blue Course

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.

Probably the worst place to play right now.

The course is covered in duck and goose poop.

To make things worse there was mud all over the course from insects or something.

My Clicgear wheels were caked, not to mention my shoes were also covered in mud and goose/duck poop!

I hope no one gets sick from all this feces on the course.

The lack of geese control has completely destroyed this golf course. It was really disgusting walking through all the geese scat that is everywhere including the greens. There is hardly any grass left around the greens and in the fairways.

It's a great course a little bit hard on the first or second hole over the water and then just great place to play I like it my favorite place to play but I usually putting green side I like it better it's a little easier

Great course but was it was buried in goose poop 💩

No wind, dry fairways and goose crap galore! This the was 14th days in a row of no rain and the course was in great shape for November. The firs few holes on the blue course were covered in goose crap as well as the final two, but in between the course was playing great. Greens were recently fertilized to kill the moss? Which made for a ugly black appearance but didn’t impede putting.

The Blue is in great shape. Greens still were rolling good. I know there getting punched soon though. Staff was excellent. Good value and great test of your game!
