As a championship-level course, Blue Heron Hills has been a regular venue for exhibitions, charity tournaments, and top amateur competitions.

Gracing the spectacular grounds of Blue Heron Hills, is a beautiful two-story clubhouse designed by architect Robert Macon.  The clubhouse features a banquet facility on its upper level, and a pub-style restaurant, pro shop and oak-appointed locker rooms on its lower level.

The practice facility, complete with grass and artificial tees, putting green, chipping area and bunkers, opens one hour prior to the first tee time so getting loose prior to your round is never an issue. In addition to their top-notch practice facility, Bristol Harbour Resort offers golf schools taught by PGA Professional Greg Mulhern.  Clinics and golf schools are designed to teach both adults and juniors and are designed to improve your long and short game. All schools and clinics are available throughout the summer.
