Reviews
I am a member of this course and have always loved this course. We play Father's Day tournament here every single year. I was extremely disappointed to find out that they wouldn't allow us to play The Father's Day tournament there this year out of concern that their members wouldn't have time to play. We have been loyal to them for years and they had a chance to return that loyalty but they didn't. Membership will be canceled immediately and my business will go to a course that actually cares.
Even after the rain the course was in decent shape. Could be a little more manicured and green but overall for the tournament and after the weather it was in good enough condition.
Heron Lakes Country Club for the WIN! I was planning a charity golf tournament with zero clue of the game of golf or tournament planning, with 3 months to do so. (Right?! I was completely green, pun intended.) Josh was fantastic in teaching me ALL the things, preparing me for everything I needed to know, and he literally held my hand from start to finish. His coaching and client support was phenomenal every step of the way. The team— Calvin, Rick, Leif, and the young guys were great in supporting me with the heavy lifting, reassurance that everything was fine, and giving me tips on the operations and facilities things that I didn’t know to think of. I was truly in the best hands for all things golf with these guys! I am excited to return for next year’s tournament and work with this group again. I’m even looking forward to popping by for some of the themed dinner nights that the wonderful guy behind the bar shared with me. All in all— We had a fantastic 1st event (13 teams strong). Many thanks to Heron Lakes, and we’ll see you next year!
This course was a mess. Facilities are run down. Front nine fairways 3 to 9 are beat up. Tee box have not been rotated so you stand on trenches, dirt, sand tees etc. Holes had not been changed on green. Literally beat up the edges were rounded out with the grass shredded and hanging in hole. The area around cup created big dip as peoples feet caused it to distort. Some idiot mowed the green so tight it burned the grass in long streaks and you could see it killing areas. We left after hole 12. Fed up. Could be a great course. Its not. Good golfers should avoid.
Was hoping for better. $64.90 with cart. Greens have been recently verticut and topdressed. Enough said. See attached photos. . The teeing grounds are wildly inconsistent with some excellent to some nothing but dirt. Fairways, some excellent some terrible. Bunkers are virtually unplayable as many are just dirt. The par 4 5th hole is reduced to a 126 yard par 3 and has been for months with no remedy in sight. The players themselves treat the facility with little regard as they drive their carts anywhere they wish. Greenside chipping and pitching are a mix of dirt, sand and bare ground a result. I saw no course marshal or starter to manage play. It's do as you want once you payed your coin. Had lunch in the Oasis lounge. Highly recommended as the food was very good and service prompt. No wonder I play golf here but once a year. I know they are struggling financially and lacking much but this should be better for the price asked. Considering one can, as a trail card holder at RJT, play for the same price, why return here?
