Not allowed on course

Paid £36 for 2 players , on arrival told by pro shop no trolleys allowed as course was wet ,we are both 65 and unable to carry cart bags . We were told to contact Golf Now but unsure how to do this ,there was nothing to say this course did not allow trolleys and nothing on the confirmation email therefore we have lost £36 .

Heron Reach

I played on my own and found the course to be a very interesting lay out. I was behind a group for 4 holes but they were kind enough to let me go through at the first decent opportunity.

I was able to break 90 despite 2 7s, 1 8, and two 3 putts for bogies.

Played Yellow tees and the par 3s were reasonable and I enjoyed making par on 3 of them and a bogie 3 putt on the other. Par 5s were reachable in 3 for an old 73 year old like me.

Herons reach 20/7/23

Course is in good condition although the tees are a bit scruffy. The course has long rough and has tight fairways. Lost a lot of balls and didn't find any. I play off 22 and can generally hit a reasonably straight ball but this course was too tight for me. I won't be playing here again

I do the buggy every week.

Great course, play most Thursdays. I’m great at the buggy around the course. Greens are firm in the summer months. Buggy’s. Plenty of water for me to buggy past.

Good choice

This was the first time playing this course for either of us, but we both enjoyed the challenge.A good variety of holes on quite a windy day.
Our only gripe was the cost of food and drink in the bar afterwards.

Much improved

Excellent course, have played a handful of times in the past but not for 4 years. Dont know if we just got lucky this time but in the past was always way overcrowded, so much better this time. Course has improved too, superb condition. Staff very welcoming. Overall great experience.

Not very good

I thought the course fairways, bunkers and greens were terrible, maybe due to the weather but the fairways were shocking. the whole course was like playing in a muddy farmer field
The staff and facilities are fantastic but the course is not worth the money and I'm glad i didn't join

Golf Course

Good course and in good condition for the time of year, in particular when most courses have restrictions in place. Although a shortened course, no other restrictions were in place and the greens were true and putts rolled out good. Excellent value for money.

Herons reach

Played there for the first time, I was expecting fantastic fairways and greens. I know its winter but thought the fairways would be better. That's all the course layout is brilliant. I do think the green fees are a little high. We'll worth once in awhile for a round.

Great Winter golf

Winter golf at is best, freezing conditions but the course stood up exceptionally well, played off all tees fairways and greens.
Although shorter winter course it didn’t spoil the golf, we did a good job of that ourselves 😂

Nice layout, greens good.

Enjoyable course, weather with cold & ice didn't help but would play again in spring/ summer. Good layout a good test, but fair.
Normal visit the 19th after every round but couldn't find a spike bar if there is one, saw a sign saying no golf shoes passed this point which is fair enough but....
