Great place to take someone who is learning the game. Don’t expect much when paying $5-$8 but it’s still a few hours outside and hey a hole in one would still count if you slam dunked it!!

I have played Heron Bay a few times over the past year, and the course has gone from okay to bad. The greens are shaggy, some of the flag-sticks are in rough shape, with one being taped together. The fairways vary from hole to hole, with some drainage issues that has you go from a soggy fairway to a dried out fairway. The sand is still in great shape. The staff is very friendly, the clubhouse still portrays the TPC atmosphere but it seems they are letting the course go.

I really liked this course the first time I played it about 6 weeks ago, I played it again after a very rainy few days and the course showed. For $18 the views alone are worth the price, but the course was soaked. You can see that they are trying to fix some damp greens and sand traps that have become standing water, for now wait a few months or stick to the hot deals, if I paid $50 I would have been disappointed. The clubhouse is great, the carts are nice and the tees they give you are fantastic (can go through an entire round with just one).

The facilities are old, and the course shows the wear and tear of an inexpensive option. The greens are in good shape, but fairways, rough, and tee-boxes all need to be updated. Some bunkers have been left alone to become waste bunkers, but the ones that gaurd the greens are in better shape than I thought they would be. I went into the round thinking about joining the membership option for the three courses on the property, but more than likely will not be playing here again. Heron Bay is a much better option for around the same pricing, even if it is more expensive.
