Good track

First time playing it. Fairways and greens were little shaggy but in very good condition. Had to hit the putts in stead just rolling them. I would like to see the fairways and fringes a little tighter. They did say in the pro shop that they were not quit season ready. Over all a very nice course and would play it again when it preferably in the midst of the season.

First timers

From the pro shop staff to the starter, we felt welcome. the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The course was in great shape, but the greens putted a little slow. The bunkers were hard, but easy to hit out of. We played 18 holes in 4 hours...... after the round we had a drink in the restaurant and were made welcome and service was good. Would definately play again.

grass is greener maybe

love this course, we took two friends with us whom had never played there. some confusion on check in to pay as the guy behind the counter could not find our name ???? told him we had booked with Golf Now and he rudely implied it was not there, so went to get paper the other man in office asked our last name and found it on his computer. It was a bit daunting to say the least as it was stated he did not know how we got it for the price we paid ??? where is that coming from ?? second time this has happened at this course.

It was ok.

It was ok. The course was in quite good condition but the driving between holes was outrageous a lot of houses to drive around. The front nine is quite short although the back nine was a decent test.

Sadly the worst golf course I might have ever played

I usually don’t write bad reviews regardless but this course is in the absolute worst condition.
I have every seen. I have played it a few more times to give it justice but it continues to get worse not better. Will not go into specifics because Everything from tee to green was absolutely terrible. The greens being the worst by far. This course used to be one of my favorites because of the greens. Don’t waste your time or money. I hope someone at Herons Glen cares enough to start correcting the problem! Go next door to Magnolia Landing.

Sounds like an ex employee that just got a job at Magnolia, this course is Phenomenal and I would pay up to 125.00 to play there. Course conditions are as good as they can get, everything green and growing, no dead spots and a beauty to look at. Don't think this guy likes them regardless.

Love the Course but the Greens!!!!!

Your course is a great course but the greens are disappointingly slow. Just several years ago I thought you guys had the best greens in SW Florida but now that’s not the case. I play your course quite often so this is not a one time and done opinion. I also play others courses throughout Florida and the speed of your greens rank very low compared to others. Aesthetically they look great but cutting them and rolling them would go along way to great improvements.
