Take a cart

It was a tough walk, but enjoyable. Holes are mostly straight. Only a few bunkers and penalty areas. Greens were smooth and true.

Good but overpriced

The layout is challenging, but there is too much artificial mounding, giving it a target golf feel. The greens were mostly good, but slow with a few in poor shape. You can hit as many practice balls as you want, which is a good change from the small bag I got the last time. The practice green and chipping area should be bigger. I played another course nearby in just as good shape for less than 1/3 the cost. Not likely I’ll play here again.

Just average

Greens were green, but slow and a little bumpy. Green approaches were not smooth, so putting from off the green was problematic. Layout was good, but conditioning less so. Could be very good if better maintained.

Good Expectations

I have played Heritage a couple times before and was not disappointed this time. The layout is very good. From the blue tees it is enough of a challenge for me. The greens were a little slow, but it was green grass, not weeds and aeration like other courses I’ve recently played.

Nice layout. Pace of play was below average. Greens were aerated and top dressed. I wish they would let you know that before you reserve a tee time.

Disappointing Day

We drove over an hour to play this course on a friend’s recommendation. We made the prepaid reservation on Golfnow and thought we were getting a good deal. When we checked in we learned that the greens were recently aerated and we could have gotten the same reduced rate (without paying the “convenience fee”) if we had booked directly on the course website. The layout is fine, but the course conditions were rough. The bunkers were not raked and it appears water had recently pooled in some. The fairways had numerous bare spots and areas that looked like they could have been marked ground under repair. The course was built in 1994, when golf was on the upswing. Now it appears they don’t generate enough revenue to maintain it in good condition. I would have expected to pay less than $50 for a round on a similar course.

Target golf at its worst

The only reason I played the Player course was because the Jones course had an outing. The conditions were fine, though the greens were slow. The front nine has too many blind shots and holes you can only play a certain way. The pace of play was terrible (over 5 hours). The cart girl first saw us as we were playing the ninth hole (where there is a half way house) we never saw her again. A player’s assistant asked us about the pace of play when we were playing 17. Too late!!!!

Thank you for playing today and we apologize that we did not do a better job managing the pace of play. Hopefully you will give us another chance to improve upon your experience and maybe next time you can get out on the Jones Course as it appears to be your favored course. Thank you,

Good value

This is a good value for the money. Very reasonable for golf in FL in February. The layout is fine. The conditions were ok. There is no practice range and the practice green is small and in worse condition than the greens on the course. But it was an enjoyable round and worth the reasonable green fee.

Disappointed

The layout is fine , but not a great value for the money. They should have unlimited practice balls, not the small bag provided. The practice green should have flagsticks now that the rules allow them to be left in. Chipping should be allowed at the practice green since the chipping area green green isn’t cut to green speed. The chipping area is too small. The locker room bathroom is not kept tidy, like I would expect st an upscale place. We did not see the beverage cart until the 17th hole.

Hello Paul, thank you for taking the time to review our course, Rolling Meadows Golf & Country Club, and for the 3-stars. We are sorry to hear that the greens may not have been in the best shape due to the recent aerification, but it is good to hear that you seemed to still enjoy the rest of the course. It also looks like you had a friendly experience with our staff and we are glad that your round was a great value for you. Thank you for choosing our golf course, in the Ontario - Niagara area, and we look forward to seeing you again soon.

Disappointing

I had played Mill Creek several times before, but not in several years. I thought the layout was very good except for the 10th and 11th holes. 10 is better as a par 3. 11 is still hokey. The rest of the layout is good, but the condition has gone downhill. Many unrepaired pith marks on the greens and poorly maintained bunkers. The price we paid was at least $20 less than the last time. That may account for a lack of funds to do better maintenance.

Great layout/great value.

I had not played Whirlpool for several years, but made it one of our rounds for a long weekend of golf with friends and family. We had great weather and a great time. The course is challenging and is one I always enjoy. I don't play it as often as I used to because I belong to a private club and it's an hour drive from my house. We made the trip and then enjoyed a nice dinner at a favorite Chinese restaurant in Fort Erie on the way home (Ming Teh). We had a great day.

BadGreens

The layout was good but conditions poor. The greens had bare spots and sand. Worst greens I encountered in Tampa and Inverness. Driving range grass was terrible. I would play it again only if conditions were better and I would pay more for that.

Lovely day

I enjoyed my round, which would have been better but for the condition of the greens, which were average at best. The greens were slow an uneven, difficult to read and putt. The layout is challenging. The weather was great. I'm not crazy about a driving range with floater balls and no targets to gauge your distance. I would like to play it again when the greens are in better condition.

Rainy Morning

It was raining lightly when I arrived at the course at 7:45 for an 8:20 tee time. No one else was playing, so I went out without a warm up. Playing alone with no one in front of me I played in 2 hours. The course was in good shape except for some concrete cart paths in need of repair - repairs were being done on one hole.The greens were good, layout interesting. It's not a long course and is very playable for the average golfer. I recommend it and would play it again.

Good warm up

This was my first of several days of golf in FL. I was disappointed that the range was closed while they picked up the balls (I've never seen a range that didn't have a pick up cart that protects the driver and allows golfers to hit during the process). The course was in good condition. The greens were smooth and true. I'll play again. Good value. I enjoyed the round.
