Blue Heron Pines is a par-60 executive course in the Punta Gorda area, and its rates page splits prices into a public card and a resident card. This post covers the public side and what you give up by not living in the community, from the page retrieved Oct. 1, 2026. Our Blue Heron Pines course page has the address and map.
The page says summer rates begin May 1, 2026, and all fees include tax. Prices are for 18 or 9 holes with a cart.
The page states there is no 7AM to 10AM 9-hole rate. If you want nine holes, you start at 10AM or later.
For comparison, the resident card lists $30.00, $25.00, $18.00 for 18 holes, and $18.00 and $12.00 for the 9-hole slots, in the same windows (course website, retrieved Oct. 1, 2026). In each window the public price is $5.00 to $7.00 higher for 18 holes. The page does not say how residency is verified.
The cheapest 18-hole public price, $25.00 after 1PM, works as the twilight-style rate. The page does not use the word twilight, so the course does not publish a separate twilight rate.
A footnote says all carts must be in by 5:00 pm. A 1PM start for 18 holes leaves four hours, which is enough on a par-60 layout if pace holds.
The rates are labeled summer rates starting May 1. We did not find a winter rate card on the page we read, so the course does not publish a winter rate there. Expect it to change.
Junior rates, a booking window, a dress code, a walking policy and driving range access were not on the page. Call the course before you go to ask about walk-ons and walking.
For a non-resident, Blue Heron Pines is cheap and short. A 9-hole round starting at 1PM is $15.00 with a cart (course website, retrieved Oct. 1, 2026), but check the page for the current season first.
