Origins

Herons' Reach was developed as part of the Blackpool resort complex and opened in the 1990s. Peter Alliss and Clive Clark were commissioned to create the 18-hole course, which independent golf sources record as opening in 1994.

Design Philosophy

The layout combines parkland terrain with a significant water component. The resort highlights undulating greens built to USGA specifications and water affecting 12 holes, making approach distance and accuracy central to the design.

Development

The golf operation has become increasingly integrated with the wider Village Hotel resort. Practice facilities now include a covered, floodlit Toptracer range, while membership offerings range from golf-only options to full resort packages with leisure-club access.

Recognition

The course has staged regional professional events, including finals connected with the PGA North Region.

Today

Herons' Reach operates as a resort and visitor-access golf course alongside Village Hotel Blackpool, with golf, accommodation, practice, coaching, dining and health-club facilities on the same property.
