The pace was really slow and there where hardly no grass on fairway.

Disappointing Greens

Unfortunately Heron Creek "lost" their greens some time in the last year. There are patches and dead spots on many greens, What's left are very grainy, and virtually unreadable. Green speed was fair. The totality of the experience on the greens was to badly let down the whole course. Couple that with a 70% increase in cost from last year and you're unlikely to get more of my business.

Nice but…

Course well maintained And staff very pleasant. However after booking on line I incurred a $13 pp admin fee due when arrived. Was told this was new policy and would not waive fee. I will NEVER book on line again. I’ll call course directly

Heron Creek

Members probably do not like outsiders bragging this place up. If I was a member I would keep this place a secret. Played here a dozen times in the last couple of years. One of the best from Tampa to North Port. Great course layout, food, range, and staff. We drive one hour from St Pete to get here, Best to travel on weekends to avoid traffic. This is a must play for golfers that love well run courses.

Great day

Played in 4 hours and 10 min. Would have been much longer if a group in front of us did not allow us to play through. Fun course, fairways were nice, greens were fast with some of them needing repair. Fun layout, will be back

great course Ranger not so much

The course was excellent, The practice area was top notch. All the staff was excellent, except for one ranger. We played the the first nine in 2 hrs., and waited just bit on each hole. No big deal. On 11, the group ahead of us skipped it. Just as that happened the ranger happen to show up and tell us we are a hole behind. We then caught them two holes later a waited a little all the way in. I dont mind rangers doing their job, but know what your talking about. That aside, play this if you can

Feel Cheated!

First let me say that I love the course. We arrived and were informed that we would be required to play the Creek course twice because they had an event that day. The event was a ladies tournament that had obviously been on the books for some time. No notice posted or advisement given when we booked our tee time - which I
Blame on Golf Now and Heron Creek. We played a premium rate as well. No discount given. The pro shop said we could quit after 9 and get a 9 hole raincheck. I don’t accept that these people accepted our tee time and didn’t know that we would be restricted to the Creek course. To make matters worse the round exceeded 5 hours. Absolutely no ranger support after the front nine. I will be contacting Golf Now management to let them know as well!

Great shape

Great course with 3 nines. Played all 3 over 2 different days. Only complaint is that on second day, the ranger said we were playing slow and had to pick up the pace or he would make us skip a hole. No one was pushing us but that did not seem to matter. We were all average to above average golfers and did not feel we were were playing slow. Might have felt different if we were being pushed by next foursome. We teed off about 6 minutes after our tee time (courses fault, not ours) so I think that was used against us by the rangers. Other than that, I would recommend this course and would come back and play again. Had a great lunch there both days we played.
