HERON BAY GOLF CLUB
CORAL SPRINGS, FL
Formerly the home of the PGA TOUR'S Honda Classic (1997-2002), Heron Bay is now the home of both The Dixie Amateur and The Big Ten Match Play; the later is televised on the Big Ten Network. Chosen by both Golf Digest and Golf Magazine as one of the "Top Places to Play," it features gently rolling terrain bordered by a network of lakes and wetlands, over 100 bunkers, 83 different tee positions, and elevated, undulating greens. Designed by PGA TOUR player and golf course architect Mark McCumber, Heron Bay also features one of the country's finest driving ranges which is lighted for nighttime practice. Located 25 minutes northwest of Fort Lauderdale, Heron Bay is a perfect selection for golfers staying in The Palm Beaches or greater Ft. Lauderdale.

Golfer Comments
03/24/2008 - Wow! The sand was every where! Posted by Robert (Hazleton, PA)
02/12/2008 - Plenty of room to recover from errant shots on most holes. Very few trees, but abundant water canals and sand traps. In fact, there were bunkers everywhere! Most were easily escapable. The course was very well maintained, as were the wildlife areas and the canals. There was housing along the perimeter of the course, but it mostly was attractive expensive homes on the far side of a wide canal and not in play. It was a long drive from Ft Lauderdale, and Golfpac should have warned us that SH 869 was a toll road (only $1.00, but a surprise nonetheless). Posted by Anthony (The Woodlands, TX)
04/12/2007 - Another favorite course!!!! The staf and club house/grill are excellent and very helpful. The course is always in fantastic shape. John Posted by John (Powell, OH)
