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.

While it's off the beaten path a bit this hidden gem is always an excellent round of golf with great conditions, great staff, and a good golf course with plenty of variety of holes.
