Blue Heron Golf Club sits in the rural landscape of eastern Ontario, approximately an hour southwest of Ottawa near the town of Lanark. The course was designed by Bill McNulty and Tim McNulty, who routed the layout across rolling terrain characteristic of the Canadian Shield region. The property features natural elevation changes, mature tree stands, and water features that come into play on several holes, giving the course its name. The "Alternate Tees" designation indicates this is a secondary set of tees offering a different yardage and playing experience from the primary routing. Many courses in Ontario use alternate tee configurations to provide variety for members and regular visitors, or to adjust difficulty and pace of play for different skill levels. The specific yardage and par configuration would vary from the standard tees, though the fundamental routing and hole sequence remain consistent. The McNultys have designed several courses in Ontario and eastern Canada, typically working with the natural topography rather than imposing heavily manufactured features. At Blue Heron, players encounter a mix of open and tree-lined holes, with strategic bunkering and water hazards that require course management. The Lanark area provides a quiet, forested setting away from urban development, and the club serves both local members and visiting golfers exploring the region's golf offerings.
