More like a City Course

I believe collins park 9 hole course is nicer than this. Fairways were filled with grass, roughs are deep to where you can barely see a ball, tee boxes are all dead and uneven, greens are patchy and don’t roll good at all.

AVERAGE

The staff wasn’t very friendly. No hot dogs or beer to get at the turn. The bunkers weren’t raked. The greens aren’t the best. Patchy spots all over the course. A temporary green due to a fallen tree that they’re too lazy to take care of. Out dated carts. I’m being nice leaving a 3 star review.

Former Private Course

At one time Hearherdowns Country Club was 36 holes either North course being the current course and the South course was South Toledo.

Course is on mostly flat terrain with the only character holes on the front 9 in the northeast corner of property.

Greens on back 9 were screwed up by Art Hills. Worth a play if in the area.

I'm Down with Heather Downs!

When I travel the country, I like to find classic old courses to play. Heather Downs had the classic feel. Especially the back nine. Fairways lined with big old trees. My next tee time there was canceled due to flooding, so it doesn't drain as well as modern courses. Still enjoyed it, tho. Nice people in the clubhouse and at the bar. There were some challenging holes. Some long ones that were tough for an old man to reach in regulation. Just gotta get up and down, that's all! The greens were small but rolled well. I recommend a little chipping practice prior to the round.

Heather Downs

Fun course to play with some challenging holes but still fun to tackle. Tee boxes could use some love but greens were very well kept. Beware of the the trees on the back nine, they'll get you.

Look for hot deals for the course for best value.

Once great course is now average

Rough was mostly weeds. Greens were slow and a bit shaggy. Fairways we're fine. Multiple places where on site work was going on and things were really torn up. Tee boxes okay...average. Cart paths were horrible. Our pace of play was great and staff was friendly. For the price the course should be massively better. I play $20 courses in far better shape.

VERY wet and better to be a member

The course conditions were low because it was super wet out; late fall golf. If not for the cart path/rough only play it would have received 5 stars. Realize it’s a country club that public can play and I appreciate this but we felt rushed by members that went out as singles (3 separate singles) behind our group and let each of them play through. Highly recommend par 3 #16 where I hit my first ever hole in one; witnessed by my son and brother in law.

Decent course

Decent course with relatively benign lay out. The hot deal is a great value and absolutely worth taking them up on it.

Short but challenging layout

6300 yardage from tips is short but don’t let that get your focus down. Tight windows and elevation changes punish poor decisions
