Hedingham Golf Club

I had a terrible experience at Hedingham on 1/13/18. The course was in fairly good shape considering cold weather this winter and heavy rain the day before. But I would like to warn people playing 18 holes that some of the golf carts at this course run out of battery power, and the course's responsiveness to this issue is unacceptable. There is a sheet in the cart that discloses their fleet of carts is having issues, but when you purchase a round with cart included on GolfNow, it is the expectation is that the cart will be functioning properly.

Details: The battery started noticeably losing juice on the 11th hole, which meant that for most of the back nine, any incline at all would make the cart slow to a snail's pace. When I finally arrived near the 18th, an attendant on the course (who was driving out to retrieve another patron with a cart issue) told me a "shortcut" that would take me through the nearby neighborhood which was a series of large hills. The cart was barely moving. At this point, I called the pro-shop and the guy there came out to get me. When he got there, I started taking my clubs out to transfer them to his functioning golf cart to ride back to the pro shop, and then he asked me to stay in my cart so that he could PUSH ME BACK WITH HIS CART?!?!? This was unacceptable. He proceeded to push me with his cart 0.5 miles according to Google maps. He did not inquire about when the issue with the cart started occurring, he did not apologize, and he did not offer any sort of discount on the round or voucher for another round. This had to be the most unprofessional interaction I've ever had on a golf course.

Overall a good course for the price. Greens were in pretty decent condition. Fairways need a little water. Were very hard and dry.

Great layout, and very fast greens. Otherwise, the course was like concrete and tee boxes were utterly destroyed. If this course watered regularly, I’d play it weekly. Condition now makes it nearly unplayable. Every shot in all locations is like hitting the ball off asphalt.

Understand it’s still dormancy season and conditions aren’t top notch anywhere here - but everywhere else is better than this place. Aside from the awful conditions (besides the greens) there’s just always some weird things happening out here. Two some had no tee time but the clubhouse just told them to go - I was in a 3 some so we let them go first assuming they’d be quick (they were not at all - literally would stand on the green for 2-3 minutes after putting just holding the flagstick chatting on multiple holes)

Secondly there’s just random neighborhood folks that walk the course and play random holes at their leisure further slowing down play… lastly there was people on 2 carts blocking the path on a narrow area between 17-18 that we couldn’t go around claiming their cart was stolen and had a bicycle sitting on the passenger side… just can’t make this stuff up. Don’t waste your time attempting to play this course. They might as welll just shut it down and build more houses over it.

The course is coming our of winter mode and there is very little grass.
Greens were fast and putted fairly true. Staff was friendly.

Big time Korean mafia just nasty people ... not friendly at all..

Course was in fine condition for this time of year. Some tee boxes were fairly bare. Greens were excellent. Pace of play was excellent though we were the third or fourth group off on a cold morning. Starter was great. Only issue I had was I was informed after paying that it was cart path only, which would've been great information to have prior to paying for a cart. No signs up prior to first tee.

For early February, the course was in good condition. Pace of play was excellent. Greens rolled very well and were a little fast. No complaints there. The only area that needed some serious work were the tee boxes. Many were hacked up and could afford to be redone.

Tee sheet was open allowed me to book a tee time and no notification of a greenskeepers revenge tournament was sent. Showed up and was told I could play. Tried to tee off at 10:20 (our booked tee time) was told I couldn’t tee off until 11 and would be sandwiched between 4somes shotgun starting all over the course. Took 3 hours to just play 9 holes cause of this tournament. Really wish the course would have properly locked down their tee sheet or tried to call and tell me about this, or just not let me book a time. Total waste of my Saturday morning. Won’t ever return to hedingham, they clearly don’t know how to run a golf course.

The greens are excellent....fast and true. Rest of course in ok condition for this time of year.
Pace of play sucked with a fivesome of members ahead of us!

Nice course. Quite a few tight holes with OB on one or both sides.
Long distances between greens and tees so definitely not a course for walking - buggies required.
I would have given 4* if there were some distance markers on the course. I forgot my GPS watch and there was not a single distance marker on the course - which was particularly problematic on those holes where there is an approach shot over water or over a gulley. Spend a few $ to at least put in 150 yard markers.
