Golf Advisor: Top 25 Most Improved U.S. Golf Courses (2016 #14)
Reviews
Horrible Staff & Marshal
Cheap course and the only reason my buddy and I went was because of the high percentage chance of rain. The marshal was speaking with us to speed up when in fact the course was pact with nowhere to go. We played thru a threesome which was a man and two women. They continued to speak with us and others to satisfy a tournament of young kids. I see why I have not played here in 5 years. I WILL NOT BE BACK to Heron Lakes. That old saying is true: You get what you pay for. We only got 9 in due to the rain, but I will not play one more hole at this DUMP!!!
Nice little course
Staff was friendly and helpful.
You will start off on the 10th tee
Fairways were in good condition
The greens were good as well.
Greens have enough breaks and slope to keep you interested. What I really like about small tracks like this one is you get to work on your irons and hybrids. I only used driver 2 times on this course.
Great Golf Value
Over the past year the improvements have been many at Heron Lakes. The greens have gone from spotting and slow to even and fast. Tee boxes are in good shape and there is a marked difference between the fairway and the rough. The course may be short but it puts a premium on accuracy. This course is now beautiful, fun and fair. If the golf isn't enough there is Victor's next door that has outstanding food. The only drawbacks is that there is no putting green or driving range to warm up. Overall - that is a small price to pay for the value pricing that it costs to play a round. Great job to the management for turning this place into a real gem.
Thanks technorobbie for the review! We appreciate the kind words, and are happy you have noticed all the hard work we have put in to become a better course! Thanks for the feedback. We hope to see you back out on the course again soon!
Really great little course.
First time I have ever played this place. The course is in fantastic condition. The Greens are amazing. Love the layout. This place is no joke, it is a challenging place to play. I wish I lived closer I would play it everyday. With a hot deal this place is the best bargain in town. The staff is really friendly and next time I will try the restaurant.
Thanks Zach9866934 for the awesome review! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your time with us. We hope to see you out here more this year!
August Heat
The course is fun to play long par threes greens and good shape Fairways good you know there's some brown areas of grass here and there but overall a good condition for late August we'll play again
Thanks for the review Christophe1167388! Glad to hear that you enjoyed your time with us. Come out and play with us during this cooler weather! We know the Texas heat can be tough! Thanks again!
Getting stricter
Management is getting a lot more strict on the "golfnow" tee times. They make you ride in the cart with whoever else booked the same golfnow tee time. The stopped allowing you to go out early and will make you wait for whoever has booked the same golfnow tee time before they let you tee off. The greens rolled good and the fairway was in good shape. Either I was hitting the ball father than normal or the yardage was off that day.
Hi CDPlayer. Thanks for the review. We appreciate the feedback! We hope that you'll be back again very soon!
Enjoyed playing
This is a great course. Played quickly and broke 100!!
Thanks for the review u000008210311! Glad you had a great time with us! Hope to have you back on the course with us again soon!
Amazing experience!
I had an amazing experience! When I got in the pro shop, my golf shoes fell apart, so the gentleman was totally cool about it and offered a discount on some new ones. I told them that I could not afford them, and he was okay with that, even allowing me to play wearing my sandals (I promised that I'd buy a new pair of golf shoes before playing at the course again). The course itself was in great shape. I have been playing at H.L. for at least six years, and the changes have been ASTOUNDING! The fairways were in excellent shape, and the greens were super nice. I will always consider Heron Lakes my home course!
With gratitude,
Richard G. Woods
Thanks Richard4679371 for the kind review! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your time with us. We appreciate your feedback, and hope to have you back on the greens very soon!
Not rewarding, but playable
Course is narrow, no need for a Driver. Good course for beginner for the dollar value. I (regular player) tee'd off with a 5 iron and par'd half the holes. Took wife (new golfer) and she doesn't ever wanna go back. Course is narrow, and some holes I would consider unfair.
Hi xrolandm. We are sorry that your expectations were not met when out on the course. We would like to acknowledge that we are working hard to improve some things here around the course. We hope that you give us another chance in the future.
Short but sweet
There are some small changes to the course since the last time I played. The tee boxes have been worked on and the greens are improving. Still a short course, but excellent for shot placement and fairway work. The course is on a good path, continue to reward the golfers with a nicely kept up course.
Hi BigFame. We appreciate the feedback and that you can see we are working hard to improve the course daily! Come back and play with us again sometime soon!
Enjoyable Golf
Great little golf course. Challenging without sand traps, fair amount of trees and water. Also some long par 3's. Great value!
Hi cecilmc. Thanks for taking the time out of your day to leave us a review! We are glad you had a nice time out on the course. Come back and see us soon!
Don't skip this course
Very affordable course. It was in good shape. It's a very short course with no par 5s. However, most fairways are narrow, requiring some accuracy off the tee (which I lack). Thus, I did spend too much time in the trees. No sand traps on the course, and water comes into play on a handful of holes. I would certainly play this course again. Friendly staff.
Hi b8ceball! Thanks for all the feedback, we always appreciate it. Glad to hear that you enjoyed your time and that our staff was great! See you again soon!
Fun Time
The length of the course was short and I only used my driver once. The greens were in good shape and the fairways are narrow so it takes a great deal of accuracy. I had fun playing this course.
Hi arodriguez! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your time out on the course. Come back and play with us again soon!
Tough challenge
Enjoyed the challenge of changing my natural game to suit the course. My advice would be to study the map on each hole to avoid the many water hazards and leave the big sticks in the bag.
Hi u5319282. Thanks for taking the time out of your day to leave us a review. Hope to see you again soon!
Good course for the price was testing new clubs great layout, greens need a lot of work, pace of play was great finished 18 in 2 hours will play again.
Hi Jackvon50. Thanks for the feedback, we appreciate it! We are happy you had a nice time out on the course. Hope to see you out here again soon!
Enjoyable Day
It is a great course if you would like to play a quick round of golf without any wait. The course was in overall good shape. The staff is friendly and got us on the course quick. I will go back.
Hi rayzor86952. We are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your time with us out on the course. We hope that in the future you are able to give us another chance. We appreciate all the feedback, and take this into consideration when making improvements!
Please include your scorecard for the nine holes you played I would like to see how extremely easy it was for you
