Blue Heron Golf Club sits in the rural landscape near Lanark, Ontario, roughly an hour southwest of Ottawa in the Lanark Highlands. The course was designed by Bill McNulty and Tim McNulty, a father-son team known for their work on several Ontario layouts. The McNultys shaped the routing to work with the natural contours and features of the property, creating a course that reflects the rolling terrain characteristic of this part of eastern Ontario. The layout moves through a mix of open and wooded areas, with elevation changes that provide variety in shot-making and visual interest throughout the round. Water features, including ponds and wetland areas that give the course its name, come into play on several holes and add both strategic challenge and habitat for local wildlife, particularly waterfowl. The design incorporates natural corridors and native grasses that frame the playing areas while maintaining a connection to the surrounding countryside. Blue Heron serves as a semi-private facility, welcoming both members and daily-fee players. The club operates within the recreational golf market of the Ottawa Valley region, offering a course that balances playability for a range of skill levels with enough strategic interest to reward thoughtful course management. The setting provides a quiet, rural golf experience removed from urban development, with views across the Lanark Highlands' forested ridges and farmland.
