Greens need some love
Absolutely got what I paid for. Great afternoon round.
Greens need some love - a few were burnt up.
An Absolute Dump
This is, hands down, the worst conditioned course I've played around Indianapolis in the 3 years I've lived here. Not sure if it's disease, money problems, or likely both. But this is not a course that is worth anyone's time or money in its present condition.
The warning signs were evident from the start when we arrived 35 min before our 7:30 Sunday morning tee time and beat the workers to the course. It only went downhill from there as we practiced on the putting green and noticed large dead patches on it and elsewhere. As evidenced by the attached photos most of the small greens on the course were dead, with sand or mud replacing grass for large patches - they were basically unputtable. Where there was grass it was mowed at different heights, so there were stripes on the green, as well as parts around the fringe that were missed completely by the mower. The mower also left grass clippings behind that had to be wiped away when we even attempted to putt.
The rest of the course had not been mowed at all. The grass in my backyard is shorter than the tee boxes, and I haven't mowed in a week. The fairways and rough were patchy at best. The sand, which is everywhere on the course, is unraked and thin. All the bunkers are deep as well, so this was particularly penal if you even attempt to hit out of them. The rough was very lush, and we spent a lot of time hunting for balls one bounce off the fairway. Add to that no one fixing any divots or anything, and yeah, you get the picture.
It's been a while since I've said paying $15 to ride 18 holes was a ripoff, but this was an absolute ripoff. Sad, because the course is a Nick Price layout, and would be very challenging if it were in playable condition. But this is to the point where it needs to be shut down and reworked before anyone sinks another dime into playing the place. Run away from any deals here, it's just not worth it.
Deteriorating Course Conditions
Greens overall in bad shape. Many burnt areas had been sanded where there is no grass. A few of the smaller greens only had partial grass coverage. What grass was growing was fairly long and slow pace putts.
Tee boxes average. A few of the boxes did not have the markers out in place. Fairly tall grass and a few weeds, but no big bare spots.
Fairways average. Grass was a little long but had been mowed. No weeds and full grass coverage with no bare areas or ground under repair.
Sand traps were mostly groomed and in average to above condition. Some were hard and needed more sand. No weeds in them.
Rough had been mowed with some thick areas that would suck down errant balls. Tall grass and waste areas in good shape.
Pace of play was excellent on a Sat afternoon.
Overall we had fun and a good round. Paid $31 to play and would've liked to see better conditions as other deals are out there for nicer places. Probably won't go back this year unless a special circumstance. Hope some improvements in green conditions are in the works.
Close to the end
Management clearly doesn’t understand how close they are to loosing the course. They are extremely close to loosing several of the greens. There is no excuse for this with the summer we’ve had. You can tell that they have skimped on maintenance for quite some time now. The course is a great design that is in a mediocre neighborhood that probably doesn’t get the traffic to be profitable, which leads to poor maintenance. They seem to be headed for the same fate as saddle brook. They need to do something quickly. I live close by so I hope that doesn’t happen, but I will also not be playing this course again anytime soon unless they are giving green fees away figuratively speaking.
Horrible conditions
This course has a pretty good layout, but honestly have never played a course in worse conditions. 4 of the 9 holes had big sand spots all over them. The fairways, rough and sand are horrible as well. The pace of play was horrible. Overall terrible experience.
Great course for all handicaps
We was very happy to play here. We haven’t played at Heartland Crossing in almost 4 years. We arrived early and course wasn’t busy, we was able to tee off about an hour early. Overall course was in great condition. There was a handful of greens that were a little worse for wear but still very playable. Look forward to playing again soon!
Not the course it used to be
Overall, the course is in much worse condition than it was 10 years ago. The fairways are dry and some of the greens are in bad shape. The front nine is in okay condition. Just don't expect to play the same course that you did years ago.
Needs Help!
Had played here years ago, course in much better condition then.......needs lots of TLC to bring it back...rate of $18 was great, but tempered by the overall course condition.
A nice course could be brought back to greatness.
The layout is interesting but could use more water and a couple of the greens could use a little help but pin placement helped. $18 is hard to beat will play again hopefully they find the valve for the sprinkler system.
Really Getting Better
They are putting a ton of work into this place and it’s really showing!
The decline of a once great course
Heartland was at one time one of my favorite places to go. After being bought and sold a few times it's now in such a state of affairs it no longer is.
Staff are friendly, but the bang for the buck is just poor. I paid $36 to play on a Friday morning to play on a course that looked like it hadn't seen a mower all year.
1 foot tall grass splotches in fairways, 6" clumps on tees, and #1 green, which is always been a terrible design, has a GUR section in the middle that looks like an example of bas plastic surgery.
As you get to the back 9 it becomes obvious what's on the horizon for this place. It's a housing edition in 2 years from what I can see.
It's really too bad, it used to be such a nice place.
Heard they were hosting a 16 team HS tournament this weekend. They should be embarrassed at the condition of the course.
It’s a ROUGH go
Generally like this course. Challenging and interesting layout. The rough however is way too long. Even just off the fairway it is quite deep. I lost 3 drives I had a good line on and if I had needed to play more quickly I would have lost double that number. 4-5 inch rough is overkill in my opinion.
Course is in terrible shape, fairways not as good a bad muni, bunkers should be played and marked as ground under repair. Course is off my list till mid summer. Oh by the way only played 13 holes 5 some in front from 10 till we quit was taking 30 minutes a hole and they were not letting anyone thru.
Great course
This is a very nice course and the owners are making improvements every day. I play 3 rounds a week and most of them here.
Very disappointing course conditions
Dandelions all over tees, fairways and rough. Very surprised. Plus range closed because ball picker broken. Greens very slow. 5 on stimp meter.
You must have a very low threshold for satisfaction. The golf course is in terrible shape.
