The Links at Heartland Crossing

The course was recently aerated and a sixsome
slowed up play on the backside.

This course is made tough by the number of bunkers strategically place to catch balls hit off the tee as well as those not hit to the green. I have no problem with this if there was consistent sand in the bunkers and they are raked. Unfortunately they could use a couple of train loads of sand. Greens are difficult and the wind can make for a long day if you are not hitting it straight but wide fairways can be forgiving if you are not in the bunkers.

Played here many times. Great value with online deals. Sand traps are a little dry and hard, but otherwise numerous and always a pleasure.

First time playing this course and I found it to be very hard to say the least. It teases you off the tee box and rewards a well played shot, however several greens are just littered with bunkers and several greens are small. If you are not a well versed golfer, you will find this course eating your lunch. Even if I had played this course several times, I don't know if I would even know the shot to attack the green. So many bunkers. I will not be back until I am shooting well into the lower 80's lower 70's.

Have played this course many times, used to be one of my favorites, but condition of the course has deteriorated in the past several years, mainly the bunkers. If the bunkers cannot be maintained they should be removed/replaced with grass. They keep offering deals to get play, but if they would get the course in better condition they could charge a decent price and still attract players. Side note to staff: Your canned responses to comments from reviewers do not come across as genuine, better to leave them out. The fact is that little has been done for some time to "improve" the course conditions, which have been on a downward spiral for many years.

it was dizzling when we started and dark when we finished. the lay out was nice, but the bunkers are a mess. many had dirt instead of sand. the problem is they are huge and numerous. we should have not played them at all. it looked like a group of nongolfers was there checking them out. they need much attention now and foreever due to their size and number.

Course is in good shape. Takes awhile to play but very enjoyable.

It has huge sand traps around the course that are truly deep. Unfortunately they are unkept and surrounded with weeds as is the rough. A one time play.

This course use to be great. I will have my league replace this stop on our tour in a few weeks. This course is all about the bunkers. With that being said they are like hitting from the cart path. They are even to hard to rake and place. I heard they are fixing for next year. So that's when I will go back. Unsat!!!!!!

This golf course allows for a lot of sprayed tee shots in the right places but many greens require pinpoint ball striking to hit them. I was fortunate enough not to find a single greenside bunker on my way around, so I cannot comment on what they were like. Holes 15-18 play very tough and I shot +8 on just those few to ruin an otherwise excellent round (I was +2 through 10 and well on my way towards a personal best). My iron play (a lot of mid irons, very few wedges) was pretty spot on most of the day, but the distance was enough to keep things plenty challenging.

I played the gold tees, which played even longer than advertised, as the markers were pushed into the back tee box on hole 12, playing as another 450 yard par 4. This made for four par 4s playing 440 yards or more that day. Hole 15 is excellent yet extremely tricky. The angle off the tee is tricky to judge, and the green has a hollow that catches balls hit too long and numerous bunkers in front Note: the tall grass in front of the banana shaped teeing grounds caught my tee ball. I hit another and it was caught by the grass too, but it mysteriously made its way into the middle of the fairway about 220 yards out. Either tee the ball near the back of the box or take less than driver for some extra loft. Holes 12 through 15 might be the most scenic on the course, and number 10 has a tiny green right up against a water hazard. Other holes had lots of bunkers off the tee around 240-265 yards out, which were the perfect distance for gobbling up any slightly errant tee shot. Play it from the right markers and you're constantly trying to working your way around the traps off the tee. If you're going to play from the gold markers or further back, make sure you can hit the ball a decent ways or else you'll be hitting nothing but long irons and fairway woods into all of the par 4s. It really does play that long.

The course is generally flat and easily walkable, while holes 13, 15, and 17 all feature elevated greens. Speaking of the greens, they were actually in excellent condition and rolled true when I played at a moderate pace around stimp 9 or so. What made the gold tees playable is that the rough was not particularly punitive, and I hit several greens in regulation from it. With a heightened premium on accuracy combined with the length it would be an extremely challenging course.

Good course with few homes. Bunkers need more sand but a lot of bang for the buck. Greens a bit slow.

As much rain as we have had, course was in great condition

Nice course. Too many bunkers though. Bunkers were deep and difficult. The course would be more fun to play if some of the bunkers were taken out. Course is good condition given then huge amounts of rain in the last couple of weeks. Nice layout with a good mix of holes.

CHALLENGING COURSE! DO NOT PLAY IF VERY WINDY OR TOO WET. THESE FACTORS INCREASE THE DIFFICULTY AND DO NOT REPRESENT WHAT WOULD BE A TYPICAL DAY TO PLAY THE COURSE. THIS IS TRUE OF MOST COURSES, BUT MUCH MORE SO HERE.

The course was wet of course after so many days of rain.
The fairways are in good shape but could be cut better. Random grass's missed when cutting. Greens in good shape w a few blemishes and green moss patch's? Great facility but it is all about the little things. Halfway house has no soap or TP. Men's locker room leaves a lot to be desired. Time to refurbish and make new again!

Beautiful layout. Trying to come back from several days of heavy rain. Doing a good job. Fairways and greens in excellent shape. A lot of traps. Dry traps have been worked on. Some still waiting to dry out. Really enjoyed the round. Visually beautiful course. Innovative design and placement of traps. Club selection critical.

Overall layout is pretty good I enjoyed the layout of most of those holes however there are a couple holes where a perfect drive is penalizing which was frustrating, I am all for difficult holes thrown in the mix but when you are given uneven lies and then must hit your approach to an elevated green surrounded on all sides by hazards, that's a little much. Like I said difficult holes are part of the game, but mixing every variety of penalizing situations on one single hole, well that's a little hokey. Several of the fairways are being resodded so the fairways are quite tall and allow for no roll due to their thickness. Heavy almost dirt sand traps with large rocks and small stones make them hazards to your clubs. The course was REALLY backed up, my tee time was over a half hour delayed and they didn't have enough carts to go around so we had to wait for one to come in off the course. The staff is very young and had no idea how to manage a large crowd. The staff insisted that one slow group had backed up the course 40 minutes, I find that hard to believe. The started said they moved the slow group and although 40 mins behind the Rangers had the course moving again and our round should take 4 hours 15 mimites...well it was 5 hours 30 minutes that includes 10 minutes at the turn for a hotdog and a Gatorade. Only good thing was the greed were in good shape but are unreceptive. You can hear the thump when your ball lands, so when pitching, plan on your ball rolling out, no hop and stops. This course could be great, it has definite potential, but in order to get there, the one thousand sand traps and damaged fairways need some TLC. The management staff needs some seasoning as well, maybe get some veteran golf course workers in there. I hope the course gets the help it needs as this place could be a true test of golf in the future. As for now it doesn't demand any premium pricing but is worth an afternoon go
If you get a good green fee rate but don't pay the prime rate, you'll be disappointed. I gave a 3 star rating because the club house, driving range, pro shop, snack bar, and putting green are very nice.

The course was in good shape considering all the rain that has fallen recently (10"). The course has it's challenging moments yet it offers something for everybody... including numerous bunkers. The whites are a standard and fair distance and the greens are in great shape.. Each hole is different.

Heartland is a very good course. A couple of caveats: You need to play the correct set of tees based on your ability. Not doing so will make your round less enjoyable than at other courses. Secondly, there are many sand traps that come into play and it would be unusual for most players not to hit a few of them. One of my friends calls it the Sahara....it is not that bad...however they can be steep and challenging. If you have big issues with sand, you might think twice. Having said this, it is a very interesting and fair course. Conditions are very good. Greens had just been sanded and yet they were very good considering.

This course is not what it was a few years ago. Although the greens were in great shape, the general condition of the course is now average at best. The thing that made this course a great challenge in the past were the bunkers. They were not well cared for; there were only a few rakes; and most had very little sand in them. That is sad, as this was once a great test of golf.
