Rating 34.7

HeatherRidge Golf Course is a nine-hole course with all the challenges of a full-length course. It's an ideal round for when you don't have time to play 18 holes. Water has a prominent presence throughout thanks to a creek that winds through the entire course with tributaries that snake in and out of the holes and there are also ponds that come into play. You'll find water on a total of seven holes. There are a few other tricky spots to watch out for as well, including subtle breaks in the greens. Hitting straight is the key to scoring well and both accuracy and creative shot-making skills are needed. HeatherRidge G.C. has appeal for players of all skill levels and the affordable rates make it doubly appealing.

Beautiful 9 holes

Always an enjoyable 9 holes at Heather Ridge in Gurnee, IL. Lots of shade on hot days, mix of long and short game makes for a fun time. Outdoor bar and grill is great for a relaxing break afterwards. Staff is so nice and accommodating.

First Time Playing

Overall an average course, a short 9 holes one of the better ones I’ve played in as a last minute “want to play “ ....found this course beat up by resent rain but they are doing there best in maintaining, tee box and greens fairly good shape Kudos to greens keepers.
Overall I liked it, gave me a chance to get out when larger courses were very busy..
I would return..

Bad attitude by the staff.

Booked our tee time through golf now, was on time. From the start the guy at the counter gave attitude. Said we were late, when I know we were not. Then he wanted to charge us more than the golf now price. I said no thanks and walk out. Won't be coming back.

Fine Nine

First hole needs more hazards to make it a more challenging short par 4. The rest of the course will keep you challenged. You'll really like the par 5 fifth hole. You just want to bomb it off the tee.

Nice 9 hole course

Nice 9 hole course. Long enough to make it enjoyable for big hitters and short enough for average hitters and ladies to enjoy. Greens are in good shape and just enough hazards to make it challenging.

I did not think about having water, as there was no water on the course in which to refill water bottle. Otherwise, I liked the course.

Fun and Challenging Course

Wet couple of prior days and on Saturday and we were asked to walk. No problem, just the right amount of walking distance and although wet in spots, very playable. Great place to play nine holes in a relaxed environment and still play reasonable yardages and layout. Will be back again.
