Heatherwood Hills Country Club

Enjoyed playing this very challenging course! Highlights included getting a par on the first hole and seeing some deers on the seventeenth! Golfed with a friend who had never played Heatherwood before. I must admit it was kinda fun watching him get frustrated by this unique course layout! However prior to booking the round I warned him!🤣 He is looking forward to playing another round at Heatherwood though! Unfortunately the Clubhouse appears to be under renovation so didn’t get to eat lunch. I always liked the food there.

Unable to finish round. Tried contacting pro shop, got an answering machine. Fortunately someone behind us picked us up. Course has lots of steep ups and downs, you do NOT want to have to carry bags back to club house.

The is very difficult for the average player !! Must hit the ball straight or you are in trouble. Thing that is really difficult is hitting into greens that are above you(some 20-30 feet). My wife is an average golfer but because height of some greens had no chance hitting it from 100 yards. Greens need TLC water would help , just poor to play on. This course is all about your ability as a golfer!!

Challenging with great features. Need to be accurate.

I travel to Birmingham a few times a year and many times hit Heatherwood on the golfNow app. At $26 during the week this is a great value and a well maintained course. The day I played there were just a few others on the course so no one pushing and no waiting. I will hit it again next time I am in BHam.

Based on the layout, setting and multiple bridges and tunnels built into the course you can tell at one time this was a very nice course that has fallen into disrepair. There is no way to know what the future plans are for the course but if you want to play a nice layout at a good rate with a few blemishes give it a try.

My friend raved about this course, saying it was one of the best deals in Birmingham. Greens were in good condition, but the overall layout and back 9 were less than stellar. Back 9 needs a lot of work. Found several golf balls and beat said friend, so overall it was a good time. Probably won’t be playing this course again though.

Really enjoyed our time! Some holes are very narrow and unforgiving, but the course, overall, was very nice.

Acknowledging that I played in February, I would still not recommend this course. My biggest complaint is the tee markers. Blocks of wood are meant to indicate which tees are which on the front 9, but many of the blocks are missing and the paint has faded from all of them. Finding the right tees was literally never easy. Then on the back 9, tees are indicated by colored domes but the scorecard order of colors is different than the signs posted on each tee box. So confusing. There were warped sheets of plywood in the middle of one of the holes, terrible cart path concrete, and overall just felt unkept and run down. Disappointing because the land and surrounding trees/hills are beautiful. Feels like a well-designed and challenging course that was built and forgotten about. Also will add — this is not a walking-friendly course. Carts are 100% necessary. Not a dealbreaker, but something to note if you enjoy walking.
