Total waste of money

It was the most painfully slow round of golf of my life of 25 years of playing. An unnecessary amount of staff that essentially does nothing to make the experience better or speed up play. They should be paying us for a 6 hour round. Total waste of money.

Course is great, Marshall’s need a lesson in humility

Course was in good shape. Great practice facilities, Marshall’s were rude from the first minute we met them. We were told to pick up pace of play and we finished in 3:40. You could see that this was a retirement community full of old uptight dudes. Just seemed like they needed a reminder that golf is supposed to be fun:

Played this course several times in the past. Nice layout. Unfortunately this time was carts on path due to the amount of rain they received. Can’t control the weather. We didn’t use the course amenities so no rating there. Also due to the rain I didn’t rate course conditions. It’s usually in good shape though based on past experience.

Marsh-Creek

Played after 2 days of heavy rain, do cart path only. Normally I'd recommend highly but layout of cartpaths is very unsuitable for path only golf. Not their fault since it was very wet which very unusual.
A free cancellation/raincheck always preferable to path only round at Heron Creek.

Lovely course

Enjoy the course and will likely play there again in the future.
Our party consisted of two proficient players and two intermediate players so we played a scramble to keep a good pace. The Ranger reported that we were slow by 30 minutes early into the back 9 and the members behind us complained. I don’t know how we could have played faster and feel the complaint was unnecessary. It was also an unpleasant ending to an otherwise nice day even in spite of the rain.
