Heritage Bay Golf and Country Club - Pine Course
Played On 2/8/2013This course is a cash machine period!
This course was way oversold. They put 400 to 450 people a day on this course. You can imagine how hard this is on the entire course.I have a membership and get to golf maybe 7 times a month. They use the CHELSEA system for tee times which is AWFUL! The greens are super fast and udulating. The average golfer will 3 or 4 putt consistently. Rounds are typically very slow 41/2 to 5 hours. Naples has much better go elsewhere.

Addressing the comments of this review... yes, in "season" Heritage Bay is far too busy. During January, February, and March, the tee sheet is pretty full, due to the many renters and the very cheap fees they pay on a transfer membership. This has been adjusted for the 2014 season and we'll see if that helps. Regarding being able to play only 7 times a month because of Chelsea... completely bogus. I play with 12 to 16 guys about 3 to 4 times a week, plus couples on Sundays and other special events. You may not always get the best tee times, but you can play about as often as you want. Regarding the greens... challenging... yes, but they putt very true. Low handicap players feel the greens at HB are outstanding. I play in interclub matches against players from other clubs... they all have praised the greens at HB. Finally... 4 1/2 to 5 hour rounds are not uncommon during "season" at HB. Have to admit... VERY FRUSTRATING for experienced fast players. But slow play during "season" is a problem that exists on most courses in the Naples area. Just the way it is during those 3 months... lots of rookie golfers getting out of the winter weather up north.
