Hidden Jewel of a golf course

The well maintained golf course was a joy to play in. If I am ever in the area again. I will make tee time on my Golf Now app. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The whole course was in great summer shape. The course is short even at the blue tees. It makes up for the length by dog leg fairways, and hidden creeks. You have to play this course a few times. To know how to maneuver around the course better.

Winter rates are great

The greens a beat up with pot hole disease. But the ball runs well down the fairways. The balls rolling well enough to make a decent score.

Course is playable for a wet fall/winter period

The dry hot summer has an effect on how the ball runs down the fairway. The ball runs well for this time of the year, the greens are shaping up better.

Great place to learn how to golf

This continues to be a little gem of golf. Where you can practice all phases of the game. I teed off at 6:40 AM on a Sunday there was only one other person there to play. You can walk In Peace in the beautiful trees, fairways, and greens. This will be my main practice golf course to keep my swings in the best shape possible. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. The fairways and rough are not always in the best condition, but the round of 18 will keep your mind and body exercised.

Dry course for the Fall and Winter

My practice course Blue Heron will be flooded again by this Friday. Twin Rivers is the perfect course for practicing in the rainy part of the year. The tee fees are low, and the distance for me is another six miles driving east, than the previous practice course. The rough around the greens show thin lies. I suspect it is from the long hot, warm summer we just experienced. The blackberry bushes are everywhere. It is part of the challenge of not losing the ball on your drive from the tee box. I will return again soon.

Hardpan fairways

Love this course and the staff, restaurant/bar, but those fairways, especially the back 9. Are as hard as rocks. The ball goes further when it stays on the fairway. When the ball runs down the fairway then kicks left you lose a ball and penalty stroke. I don’t think you can do anything about it now. We will go into the rainy season in October. The greens for the most part are in great condition. I may wait till Oct before I play there again

Greens are in super shape

The greens are in super shape, but the fairways are dried up, hard pan here and there. If you do not hit it square down the middle. It will run off into the bushes because of the dry hard fairways

Cool summer day

It was a cool summer day, and I wore shorts and a golf polo. It rained on hole 6 and then it stopped. It still had summer conditions with good roll. My tempo was off perhaps because of the weather being gray and cool. When temperatures changes from 90s to 60s there is a swing difference. I did workout the tempo problem off and on. The course is worth the money the value is here at Blue Heron GC. I play between Monday and Thursday. You basically have the course to yourself. The bar and restaurant is excellent. The server has a lot of personality and hussle. She is the best. If anyone wants to join me DM me at 425 305-1061

Beautiful Golf Course, but watch out for the Hay

We had a difficult time staying out of the three foot hay left and right of the fairways. It was one of those days for us finding the fairways was difficult. We were not prepared to lose so many balls. The first time I played this course couple of years ago. I had no problem striking the fairways with good drives. Be prepared to lose a lot of balls if your drive is not up to par.

Fun in the sun

Beautiful fairways, greens, and views. Nice get away from the city. I met a great ball striker name Matt. He was a pleasure to play round with. It was more wet than a couple of weeks ago. Lots of lift, clean, and set for a fluffy lie. Bring some extra balls if you can not hit the fairways consistently. The brand new golf carts are amazing. Great value for your money.

Wet

The course was just too wet to play all 18 holes. Even the front 9 holes that we were only able to play. Was barely playable. After playing the front 9 I took a short lunch break. At that time a rain squall came in hard. Just unlucky that day . Most of the time it is playable.

Beautiful day

I play GleneEagle 2-3 times per year.. I live in Redmond so I can only get out a few times per year. I enjoyed the course and the upper 70s degrees day. I noticed they replaced all the golf carts with brand new carts. Nice to drive around in a new vehicle. The course forces you to aim small to avoid trouble on some of the narrow fairways. The greens are in great condition my putts were dropping in better than normal. There are many types of lies depending where the ball lands. You have to adjust to many up hill and down hill lies. Most of the fairways were dry. There was very little trouble with wetness. It is worth the drive out to Arlington. Have fun!

Hardly anyone on the course because of threat of rain

Suppose you can time the weather on the course. You can virtually have the course to yourself. The greens are firming up slightly, so you might want to take less club at some greens. The rain that was present was very slight. Most people were starting to show up after 3:00 PM

Weather is warming letting the ball travel better

I had to walk 18 holes to try to shake this last battle with Covid. About the 10th hole, I could feel my head get light. I thought to myself well I am by myself I am sure someone will find me out here. By the time I got to the 12th hole, my head was back to normal. Walking 18 may not have been a good idea at the time. I played well despite the two holes of head cloudiness. I did not come close to anyone that day. I checked in by the GolfNow app. The course is shaping up well for the end of this long cool spring season.

Perfect sunny day

The pace of play was much better on a Wednesday. The sun came out, white puffy clouds were present it was 68 degrees. The fairways were mowed, but the greens on the front nine were not mowed yet. The back nine greens were mowed. the greens were soft, the staff was friendly.
I keep going back because it has found enough value to go back. I make this course my training grounds for the most part.

Great beautiful course

I would come back again after this 18 round. The course is beautiful. The front 9 is a relatively flat tree line, the back 9 has an extreme uphill drive to the fairway, then it goes back extreme downhill towards the well-designed golf club building with all the amenities. As I approached the clubhouse going to number 15 hole par 3. There is a beautiful green with a nice water feature behind it. You have to drive from the tee box over a large body of water. If you do not get near the flag it will off to the water. Lots of chances to get on the green from the white tees.

Fast greens

It was a good experience playing 18 holes, the greens are rolled to be fast, the greens were not flat, the price was right, the nature is spectacular. The biggest challenge is going to be the greens. They roll them to be fast, and can easily roll off if you do not know where to land. Some of the tee boxes need work, but all in all, it is worth the drive for 18 holes in nature.
