Had an amazing time! This course has the nicest fairways and greens compared to almost all courses I've played in the swfl area. The range and putting and chipping greens are great as well. All of the staff were very pleasant. Challenging while still beautiful and fun! Highly recommended

Great place. Super course that's well maintained and challenging. Staff in the pro shop and restaurant are top notch. Rangers come around with eucalyptus scented iced towels while you're playing. Nice touch. Stop in the Nest restaurant for food or drink when you're done. Very welcoming environment with an excellent menu for reasonable prices. This place is a hidden gem, and I heard it was just voted the number two public course in all of Florida. I believe it. Will be back.

A great place to call my second home. THE Clubhouse is always clean and tidy. It is currently decorated with a Christmas tree. You can tell the residents care and love their community.

Herons Glen in North Fort Myers is a gated community with 1,300 homes. Herons Glen offers its residents a ton of amenities to help keep them in peak physical condition. The original golf course was designed by renowned golf course architect Ron Garl and opened in 1991. Gordon Lewis did a redesign of the course in 2006 and in 2021, the Herons Glen rehired Garl to do a 6-million-dollar major renovation. One of Ron Garl’s specialties is practice facilities, and the new Herons Glen Golf & Country Club has some incredible practice facilities, including a full-length aqua range with 27 Turf-Hound hitting stations along with several Bermuda grass stations, an 8,100 sq ft putting green, and a chipping area. It’s not uncommon to see members on the range, honing their game or warming up before a round. Annual practice facility memberships are available. Herons Glen’s length isn’t going to overwhelm many players. The course offers six sets of tees and can be enjoyed by golfers of all levels; the scorecard goes a step further and includes a total of ten yardages that range from 4,168 to 6,458 yards. Just pick the set of tees that best fits your game and you’re guaranteed to have a fun round. The newly redesigned Herons Glen Golf Course has several holes that will stick in your memory for a while. The second hole is a short risk/reward par 4 that offers longball hitters the opportunity to drive the green. From Tee #2 the hole plays 271 yards; by taking a line directly over the trees on the left side the green is reachable. A word to the wise: if you hit your tee shot left or push it right, there’s a good chance you may never see it again. The smart play off the tee is a long iron or hybrid which will leave a short pitch shot into a relatively flat green. Number 2 is handicapped as the easiest hole on the course. Number 4 is a par 3 and is Ron Garl’s signature – an island green. From tee #2, the hole plays 163 yards with two separate bunkers that guard the front right. Playing out of these bunkers can be a daunting task, with the lake looming behind the pin. Most of the members I spoke with said that the most significant change was making the 10th hole a dogleg right; a completely different look from the original dogleg left design. There’s water all the way down the right side from the tee to green and trees on the left off the tee. A good drive down the right side that doesn’t find the water will leave the shortest approach shot into the green. Pull your tee shot left and you may find one of the fairway bunkers. There’s a greenside bunker that sits between the water and the right side of the green. Par is a good score here. Number 13 is probably the most interesting hole on the course. It's a 369-yard par 4 dogleg left, although it’s more like a left turn. I remember from high school geometry that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, however, taking such a line would require playing directly over the lake and a couple of houses. You may be able to get away with it during the summer months when many of the residents aren’t home, but during peak season, it’s a different story. It’s only about a 225-yard carry over the water to go directly at the green. The safe play – one that doesn’t involve homeowners or liability insurance - is to hit a hybrid or iron off the tee and leave a short pitch shot, slightly uphill, onto the green. There are a couple of bunkers in front that need to be carried on your approach shot and the green is a lot wider than it is deep. The 16th hole is a par 4 that plays 402 yards from Tee #2 and has a fairway that is wide enough for course architect Ron Garl to land his airplane on. The waste bunker on the right side off of the tee is reachable and a good drive will leave a long or mid-iron approach shot into a green that slopes left to right with water behind it and two large bunkers on the left. It’s one of the more challenging holes on the course. Herons Glen is a great place to call home with a fantastic golf club and a very friendly staff.

Great golf course and driving Range. Reasonable pricing. Very friendly service from Pro Shop, restaurant and Caddy Masters. Thank you for this beautiful an very well tended golf course!
