I first discovered Blue Heron a few years ago, looking to branch out to some of the newer courses when visiting my in-laws. The course had just gone from private to semi-private and I could not be happier with the cost-per-play. The staff is friendly and if you're willing to travel a few extra minutes off away from the highways, the value is right up there with Ravenwood or Greystone (both public). Since there is a considerable amount of water hazards on each hole, when it rains, you can expect some spongy conditions. As was the case during my round, it was certainly drained well given how much it rained the days prior. All in all, I would recommend this course to any one that does not have access to the private clubs but looking for something better. My only two suggestions to the course would be to consider adding GPS for those looking for the convenience and also consider re-doing the yardages (at least on a number of the holes vs. the scorecard). Having a few lazy moments, I would go by scorecard yardage rather than walk to the tee, guage from the BH plate in the ground and then retrieve my club. This resulted in me tee-ing off with a club with a 30-yard difference in mind
