Heartwell Golf Course

I booked on a hot deal and it was a beautiful day.

course was in great shape and friendly to junior golfers. love it and can’t wait to go back.

It was the first time, the course is small but well maintained.

And friendly animals made a more peaceful place.

So I ended up playing alone because the three people that reserved the same tee time didn’t show up. I shot par on the first hole, par on the second hole. As I was grabbing my ball from the hole on 2, the group behind started playing and a ball landed right near me. I shouted back to them asking if I could just get 20 additional seconds to clear out of the way next time. The group quickly shouted me down using expletives. I played the next hole with the thought of that exchange in my mind the entire time. The guys were four strangers seemingly on edge for some reason. Pace of play was out of my control. I shot par and was playing solo. I’m not the reason it was slow out there, which I don’t even think it was slow. We only got to two holes. Anyway, after Holé 3, I felt a bit threatened and decided to call front desk and let them know, Then decided to call it a day. I don’t drive that far or spend that money to be intimidated on the second hole for something that was out of my control. It is unfortunate that these golfers behavior is being reflected on to the course itself. But that’s what happens on my first experience to this course. - JB

Frustrating to find both the greens and the tee boxes are in maintenance mode. Makes for a short drive distance and difficult putting attempts. I know that this stuff has to go on twice a year. Doing both at the same time diminishes the golfing experience. Adding to that frustration, there seems to be no control over the number of players. On successive last 2 weeks of play, I have been behind five some groups. Is no one monitoring this?

Overall the course is average but the slow pace of play on Sunday made me regret playing here. Along with that, all the tee boxes were under repair so everyone was playing from the front which made it too easy, something that was not disclosed when i paid the green fees. The greens were well maintained and would be a good place to practice putting

Only got to play 7 holes for my 18 hole tee time. When asked the staff they said “well that’s a problem with whoever you booked with.”

Had a good day at the course with minimal pace problems.

I choose to play here on the spur of the moment and there was a great hot deal tee time for only $16. I only played 9 holes and it took a little less than 2 hours which wasn't horrible for a Sunday at 2:30. We were waiting on every tee box but there wasn't anywhere to go with a lot of beginner players. Course was in pretty good shape. The tee were mostly good and the grewns rolled pretty well. All in all I enjoyed playing there and the starter got me out about 30 minutes early.

Hadn’t played the course in over 15 years. Overall good experience, many mud patches throughout the course. Would benefit from marshals to ensure no walking carts on greens and divots are repaired.

Get your short game right! Only thing i had problem was at hole 7 we got backed up we had to wait for 3 different groups to play and that was for the rest of the course

This course is actually in great shape for the numbers of players that run through it. Fun place to work on your short game and putting.

We had a 10:20 tee time. We had no idea there was a Junior Tournament. I wish they could post this kind of information early for us to know. Greens were slow and bumpy as expected since they were recently aerated. My biggest complaint is this rude starter they have out there! Last time I was there he was barking orders at my and my wife. And then yesterday, barking orders at me!! Get rid of that idiot! He doesn’t do a thing to help anyone. Heartwell never had one before! The other courses we play who have starters/rangers are very friendly and respectful. Go to Birch Hills Golf every body!
