Non Notification of event when booking

Did not know there was shot gun start. After 3.5 hours for 12 holes we left. From tee to green, waited for every shot. Should have been notified when booking there was something going on at the course. Would have gone elsewhere.

Very nice course

Today was the second time I have played Heron Glen. The course is in very good condition! There are enough trouble spots but they are fair and without gimmicks. I have played with 7 members and everyone is so very friendly and welcoming! I highly recommend this course and will definitely play it again!

Good rate on golfnow

Strange layout, played with members which helped. Front 9 greens great shape but back 9 greens not. Mowed unevenly. Rest of course great. Got a good rate thru Golfnow.

No showers!

No locker or shower facilities.
Conditions were good. Interesting/quirky layout.
Staff was friendly, except the starter-he was a crusty old man!
I’d go back, but not with a huge endorsement. The lack of showers was frustrating.

Somewhat Disappointed

Booked on Golfnow.
This course was as is always one of my favourite courses. Great layout and great staff.
Practice facility is top drawer and is included in the price.
Due to the rain were on a golf cart only rule. That’s fine as I understand that the course needs to be protected.
We played the course in November and the greens were a bit bumpy. Today the practice green seemed good, however the course greens were not as good. It is Frustrating when you watch a birdie or par putt rolling to the hole and then bounce off line. Wish I can say it only happened once but our whole fore-some had the same issues. I do understand the lumpy donut theory but that was not the case. I believe that people who do not repair their ball marks is a part of their problem. I can’t understand that is an issue as most of the golfers who play there are members. As I member at my own course I always fix mine and any others I see. Anyhow we played with two great fellows ( Randy and John), from London Ontario. Was a very enjoyable day and as we got a deal on Golfnow I rated 4 stars for value for the money due to a reduced price. I still love the course and I do hope that the greens will come back to where they were a few years ago.
