Super fast greens that roll true. If you miss a putt within 5 feet, it's your fault. Tight fairways put driving and club selection at a premium. 8th green - I putted across the green, the putt turned about 6 inches short of the cup, then rolled 20 feet downhill and off the green, so you better be below the hole on your approach. The best opportunity to improve the course is for the tee boxes to be leveled off again. Many of the tee boxes were leaning one way or were crowned, so you tee off above the ball or below the ball. A cool feature is the 10 tee box is on one side of the lake, then you drive through the neighborhood, turn then go through/over the covered bridge, and finally another turn to get to the green. Definitely recommend this course.

Lots of elevation changes and challenging tee shots, which makes the layout fun to play. The approaches to the greens and aprons are too wet, so it negatively affects chipping and no running the ball into the greens. Also, on a Saturday, they allow groups of 5. At the turn I asked, because 2 groups in front of us was slowing down play, and the starter said they were allowed. It has severely slowed down the round, so it's made a fun round a frustrating round of sit and wait. The round took 5 hours 34 minutes.

I played Heritage Ranch Golf Club in Fairview today. Great course, fantastic shape, greens roll well, consistent fairways, nice variety. Most of the time the homes are far away from the course to not be in play. 2 minor issues are there is a lot of distance between many of the holes, so would be difficult if someone was looking to walk the course, and the amount of space from the green back to the cart path is too much on most of the holes.
I recommend this course.
