Heather Ridge Golf Course

We were given an online rate but when we showed up to the course they said there was a glitch in the system so they charged us more. Additionally, the course had recently been aerated but they did not state that on their website, nor when we arrived. I emailed the course twice but have not received a response. The whole experience was extremely disappointing.

I have an incomplete experience since they just started their aeration process yesterday. Front nine was closed so we played back 9 twice. It had rained the previous day and in the morning so the greens were very receptive. Course was in good shape even with the wet conditions. I’d play here again. Not a long course but I like the setup. The people I played with told me that the greens are usually lightening quick and that the rain makes a huge difference.

The golf course looks better with the trees cut down, several of them were dead and or dying. The course looks more open on several fairways. The greens make this course they are no joke, bring your putt game. The course is in the best shape I've seen it. Go Play!!!!

This course is fun to play. This is a "target golf" type of course. It's not a long course but the greens run fast and have a good amount of pitch to them. You really want to be below the hole on this course. Some long par 3's. Course knowledge helps as there are some blind shots that have trouble. A range finder is a must for your first time.

A few greens are in need of some serious ball mark repairs, especially #5 and #8. Course is in terrific, lush green condition with consistent rough all around. Some HUGE carp in the ponds and I saw the resident turtle today too.

This course has a little bit of everything. Some holes you can break out your driver. But overall you will need to play shot placement. This course is shorter at a 68 par but the two rounds I’ve played here my score was higher than my typical handicap. The greens were fast both times I played also. Overall a fun course to play.

I have played golf for thirty years and I played all over the world. This is no doubt the worst course I ever played. I chose a last minute hot deal to play there and when I arrived in the ghetto I was scared to leave my car in the lot. I went in to check in and my wife was joining me for the day to walk with me. She does not play but walks with me sometimes. I was told that was not allowed. The guy at the front desk looked like he just got out of jail. The course has to be the shortest and worst laid out course in history. They go back and forth and many times I would be on a tee box 20 yards from a green and have balls lane near me. Almost every hole has crappy apartments lining the course and you can hit them on every hole. I will never play there again. Please save yourself the time.

Greens were fast, which I liked, pace was a little slow I was paired with 3 notice golfers 4:45 hours for 18 holes!

Tee boxes and fairways are in good enough shape. Greens are quite soft and there are a ton of previous divots that have gone unaddressed. Played on a Friday and the round would've been 5.5 hours. Had to skip 18 due to t-storms. Our cart was hit on number 9 from a shanked iron off the range. We were almost hit twice on the back 9 standing on different tee boxes. The layout is extremely open and tee shots can easily land near other tee boxes. Overall if the course is slow its good enough for 50 bucks, but good luck on a weekend...

See my video...

Try this shot next time you play here: #3 - pin is in the top left-hand corner 5-6 paces on. My approach landed top left corner of the rough for a very fast and touchy third shot. The green is especially slick on this shelf and runs away from you quickly. Too aggressive, your ball will trickle all the way off the green 50-odd feet away!

So, I practiced the strength of my putt off the green trying to get it to just roll on and release down to the hole for a tap in par...

"...the crowd has gone silent here at Augusta.." ...

FYI: I finally made it over to the green in two shots on #7... :)

Course was great.. Pro shop staff super nice. Played VERY slow. We waited to hit every shot on the back nine. The group ahead of us was crawling and a hole and a half behind the group in front of them. We told the ranger and he wasn't much help. Said he just drove by them and didn't notice they were behind.

Great Course, although extremely busy, greens are very fast. I would like to see it spread out a little bit more so the pace of play is better.

Twice I've played this course and twice we've marveled at what an unprofessional jerk the marshall is. He just drives around looking for trouble where there isn't any. He balled out the expert in front of us for waiting for the group in front in front of him to clear the green on a short par 4. The dude then smashed his drive right on the green. The ranger drove off in a huff but not before he stopped to tell me my cart was facing the wrong way while we were waiting. Every time we talked to another group they had their own story about the guy. I won't golf here again because of him and also bc it's not a nice enough course to justify their ridiculous prices
