Heron Lakes Golf Course has two 18 hole layouts to offer; the original Greenback and the more challenging Great Blue. I always let the greenskeepers know how good of a job they are doing, because for a "muni" golf course, the overall conditions are wonderful. As the summer gets into full swing, hotter weather makes any course difficult to maintain,and these folks make a nice effort to keep conditions as well as can possibly be expected. I would say the greens on both courses can compete with any in the area.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
