Heather Downs Country Club

Heatherdowns is an extremely mismanaged golf course. I have been there 6 times and more than half those times I've had to deal with them over booking tee times resulting in waiting at every hole to shoot. My round yesterday was the final straw, my 12:08 tee time for 2 golfers, started at 12:15 and we didn't finish our round until 6pm!!!!! We called the clubhouse and asked if we could get a ranger to help, the ranger came after 30mins, told one group to pick up the pace. They should have been out there at noon making sure everyone is playing "ready" golf. I want to love this course, I like the layout and it's less than a mile away from my house but this round was unacceptable.

This is my 2nd favorite course in the Toledo area behind Ottawa Park. Fairly simple course but challenging enough with the wide open areas on the front nine and the wooded lined back nine. Holes 4-6 have some nice elevation changes that will challenge every skill level. Good mix of slight dog legs and straight holes. The overall course conditions are the best I have seen them in the last five years. Really a joy to play here!!

Tree lined fairways and fast greens made this course a challenge. Definitely will play this course again.

Got a good deal so I decided to play here for the first time. Everything was really nice. Great greens, the best cared for bunkers I've seen in the area, fair rough length, and a great and unique course layout. Not just a "down and back" kind of course. I will be back!

What can I say. I didn't score that well but it was fun trying. Great course with friendly staff. great value!!!

Definitely not worth the $30 compared to what you can play similar courses for. If you can get a GolfNow tee time for anything south of $22 with the fee, I would say go for it. They have a hard time managing rain water compared to other courses in the area and they always seem to be mowing the greens when I am on the course, meaning I have to wait for the mower to move. Plenty of scenic and challenging holes, greens are true, fairways are fine. Could be a very nice course. Not a good value.

Well manicured would play again

With it being fall I expected there to be so many leaves I would never find my ball, but they had the majority of leaves removed. Not many course take the time of day to do that. All other aspects were practically flawless. (Greens, fairway, tee box, etc.)

Very hot and humid day-no water coolers anywhere on the course. While realizing courses want to make money on beverage purchases, on a hot day they need water on the course!!!

Great semi private course. No problem with pace of play. We only played the front 9 and didn't try the food. The clubhouse staff was very personable and welcoming to the two of us from out of town. Greens were well groomed. Watch out for 4... killer drop but we were forewarned. Would definitely recommend.

Have played twice, for the price and conditions, I will be back.

Heatherdowns CC is a wonderful traditional style course. It's very open on the front nine with South Toledo's "Amen Corner" on holes 4-6.
Pace of play is usually 4 hours or just over.
Using the hot deals on golfnow makes the course a great value!

Played this course 20 years ago...not as nice as it was then....but very playable....a little tight between greens and the next tee box....worth the trip on the way home from Detroit.

Played this course on a Wednesday after the course had received about 5 inches on the previous Saturday. Probably should have called ahead to make sure course was playable, but booked anyways. When I got there, was told there were no carts available due to the soggy course and that holes 4 and 5 were unplayable. Decided to play anyways (since I drove 25+ minutes to get there and I was visiting the area for a week). Turns out that holes 1, 9, 10 and 18 (closest to the clubhouse) were still very soggy, with #1 almost unplayable (I'd say ~40% of fairway and rough under water). Ended up following a couple of players ahead of me as they played 4 & 5, both of which were playable (a few minor issues, but #1 was much worse). Holes 4 and 5 are the signature holes to me and also the tougher ones. Since I was playing the blue tees, hole 6 had to carry an extra 100 yards which provides a nice challenge. While the front 9 is more open, the back 9 brings in the old, mature trees. If you can hit it straight and avoid the trouble of the trees, you can play well. I had one of my best 9 holes on the back 9, going 1 over. Overall, the course is nice and was in decent shape considering how much rain the course got several days before. There aren't many holes you will remember outside of 4 and 5, but it could be a good value if you can get it for a good price.

The weather was rain for the first 9 holes, and sunshine for last nine. Typical Ohio weather. The staff was friendly and check-in was seamless. The only problem we had was the 4-some in front of us, that would not speed up play, and would not let us pass. This is not the course's fault, it was just a very inconsiderate and oblivious group of guys in front of us. So we started a nice back-up on the course because of these guys...until the Course Ranger repeatedly asked them to move it along. Then they stopped putting after 2 missed putts, and yes it sped up play! But overall, great course, great playing conditions, friendly staff, great value!

Tee times were all stacked up on top of each other!!!!
4 groups all stacked up waiting to tee off! ridiculous pressure to keep moving, but couldn't go anywhere....

This course is ALWAYS in better than average condition. Fairways and greens well maintained - soft fairways, although greens small on the average. If you golf 18, this course presents a variety of hole layouts. There are LOTS of sand traps - often with different types of sand. Golf carts battery operated and quiet.

Nice course very well kept! Fast paced golf! Fairways are kinda narrow so hit them straight!

The course was in great condition. Especially considering the amount of rain we had the previous day. A fun layout that tests all aspects of your game .

This is a former country club that used to be a country club. The conditions are still pretty good with fantastic greens and pretty good fairways. You will enjoy the layout and the flat tee boxes that are nicely leveled.
