The Blue Heron Golf Course

Lovely golf course. Beautiful laid out with lots of wildlife and great views, pretty secluded. Less crowded than other places, which I love.
There is a nice restaurant with viewing deck so you can relax after a game with a drink and food.
The only minus for me is to many water hazards, deep enough that I can’t make it without losing a ball but usually there is an option of red start. Otherwise we like this place a lot.

so glad this course is open and operating! They do a nice job and I haven’t been in a few weeks but am looking forward to getting back out soon!

I am torn on how many stars to give. The course has been one of our favorites for golf and for dinner/​happy hour/​meet up with friends etc. … the people there are always nice and the place is clean. We use to come to the clubhouse even if we didn’t play golf. We also realize it is always tough on a golf course to keep good people and make everyone happy. But lately the menu and the food are not anything we go out of our way to go to any longer. They removed so many of the favorites and the quality is just not there and the prices of course went up.
Hopefully they will re-​think what they have tried to do… we wish them well.

Great course with lots of challenging holes. Beautiful old trees and marshes throughout. A summertime twilight game is ideal.
There are some dry spots but I respect the fact that they aren’t over watering in such a dry year. I’d come back.

Love this course. Great family fun and a wonderful bar & grill. We play a lot here with our daughter and love it! With her junior WJGA tournaments we get to see a lot of courses and this is one of our faves. We keep coming back and they did great job on the remodel!

Played the course this past Sunday and it was pretty darn good condition. It is still a work in progress, but the progress that this management team has made since they took over is nothing short of AMAZING! I would put it at a level just below Bellevue Muni (which I think is a very well maintained course for as much traffic as it gets) and above Jackson and Jefferson Muni. Obviously, the Oki courses are going to be nicer, but then the greens fees are twice is much. This course is a great value for the intermediate golfer.

Played this course back in April 2014 and just now getting around to writing the review. The place has an apparently new clubhouse with a decent bar and restaurant and friendly staff, but thats about all it has going for it.
The course itself was TERRIBLE. For starters its a horrible location. The course was built out of a marsh/​swamp. The course was incredibly wet. There was standing water all over the place and it had not rained in a couple days. My ball was constantly plugging on the fairway and some spots were just plain not mowed. On one hole in particular, a par 4, it looked like the fairway hadn’t been mowed yet this season and I was essentially hitting my second shot (which landed in the fairway) from what was far worse than any rough I’d seen. The greens were very rough and several had dead spots.
I paid for 18 but didnt even bother to play the back 9. Easily the worst course I’ve played in recent memory.

I have played hundreds of courses, and this is easily the worst. The course is in terrible condition. Some holes are not playing their full length. Many holes have blind shots. Save your time and go elsewhere.

I have been playing golf for much of my life but am recently trying to get back into it, usually playing with my 10 and 13 year old in tow several times each summer so I need a place that is reasonably priced, friendly for new golfers but challenging enough for those of us who have been playing a while. Years ago I played a very very sad looking Carnation Golf Course (now The Blue Heron Golf Course) when my kids were in a golf clinic there. The owners were fantastic but the flooding and the economy took it’s toll, the course was in horrible shape and Carnation Golf Course eventually closed. So we took to playing at Twin Rivers, Mt Si, Cascade, Willows Run and Maplewoods preferring Cascade and Maplewoods for the course you get for the price you pay. Well, I have a new favorite! Just played 9 holes this morning for $ 20 with a pull cart on a course that was in fantastic shape (especially the greens) and is only going to get better. I feel like this place is The Phoenix rising from the ashes! Realize my rating is in the context of the courses I have mentioned above but I will be regularly playing at The Blue Heron. Have to say too… the fish tacos in the grill were amazing and that is coming from a former Texan.
