Heritage Hills Golf Club
About
Heritage Hills Golf Club, conveniently located just minutes from downtown Barrie, has an interesting layout that features a combination of wide open, links-style holes and holes framed by mature forest. Although there are numerous strategically placed bunkers and swales, there are also generous landing areas that make it accessible to players of all skill levels. Willow Creek winds through the hilly landscape, offering beautiful scenery. Heritage Hills Golf Club’s greens are large and undulating, and there is the occasional double-tiered green. Although there is only one distinct water hazard, which is on the 12th, the course requires many demanding carries over the creek. Heritage Hills also offers a grass range with target greens and a practice putting green for golfers to use.

Challenging design but poor conditions
Was expecting a lot more from this golf course considering their regular rate to play isn't low by any means.
The course design is good and challenging for all levels of play but the conditions were very poor. Tee boxes not even close to level. It feels like your hitting above below the ball with your feet scrambled every hit. Also, there is no grass to hit from? The tees were like they were balding.... No grass to hit on.
Fairways were in decent playing conditions and I will give them a thumbs up on the greens. There were extremely soft but still managed to play relatively fast while they maintained in fairly good condition.
The pace of play also was not to be enjoyed. The Marshall was around once all round(good and bad lol). 95 percent of shots you would have to wait and wait to take due to course back up. There was no one starting the course so everyone was playing right up behind each other. I will fall in love with courses when they space out their tee times and stick to them. Makes for a much better round.
People looking for the balls in the woods for excessive periods over and over causing back ups. If the ball finds the woods it probably wants to stay there.
Overall I think this course needs some serious greens keeping overhaul to make this a desirable place to play over and over. With the design I think this would be a great course. I've played courses for 30 dollars in much better condition.
Excellent course
Very good golf course with excellent value. Green is great, beautiful fairway with narrow holes and wide holes. I really recommend to other golfer.
Thank you for the nice 5 star review! So glad you enjoy the course and we hope to see you soon!
Great course
This is the best overall value in Barrie and surrounding areas. If had the length and just enough challenges. Greens are modest and nothing too tricky. No clubhouse but who cares when you are there just to golf.
Thanks for the nice review! We're so glad you think it is the best value in the city! We hope you keep coming back!
Good Round
Course was a bit sloppy but we have had a lot of recent rain...Sand traps were under water.
For the conditions and the lack of facilities, it is a little over priced.
Thank you for the feedback about the course, we do offer great tee time specials online so be sure to visit our website! We hope you give us another shot.
HH
One of the best courses in the metro area. Hard to walk because of the distance between holes.
Thanks for the nice 5 star review! Hope to see you again.
tranquility
This course is beautiful..peaceful and challenging...it is very easy to miss targets and mindfulness is a must with many shots...I was one with my game...a perfect day and venue
We're so glad you had a perfect day at the course! Hope to see you again soon!
Pricing and Conditions
I became quite disappointed from the moment that I entered the club house. I booked a round on Golf Now.
$ 15.00 was taken immediately off of my credit card.
Golf Now's site showed that there was a balance of $ 110 left to pay at the course.
We booked a threesome and wanted to each hit a small bucket of ball.
A small bucket of balls cost $ 5.00 ( tax included )
I thought that I would be owing $ 125.00 in total.
To my surprise, I was told that the balance was $ 140.00
An extra $ 15.00
When I questioned the lad at the front desk, he told me that taxes were owed on the Green Fees.
I have booked with Golf Now for several years and I have booked under these circumstances before
The balance owing shown on the Golf Now website has always been the final balance.
Very disappointed in their handling of the transaction.
As far as the course goes, the Greens on the front nine were in very good shape.
The greens on the back were not as good. Putting through small ruts which caused the ball to go off line.
The 15th fairway was like hitting off concrete.
I live local to this course and have played this course many times. This was the worst condition that I have seen the greens on the back nine.
The price that they are asking is far too high for the present conditions.
We're sorry to hear there was some confusion with the bill. We have changed up the billing process and this is the first year we have done it. You pay 5% of the greens fee online, the other 95% and tax are both due at the course. With the extra fee of the range balls, the total was most likely accurate. Sorry for the confusion! We hope you come back again, please email me directly with any questions.

Diversity
The difference between the two nines make the course. The greens are large and some you have to place your approach shot in a certain area. Some of the greens are fairly flat and the rest are very well contoured. A challenge for sure. The course is a combination of the old and classic course combined with links style. The wind has a great influence on play and bunkers are placed in strategic locations. The designers have taken a tip from the PGA and have made a risk and reward par 4 that is reachable with your tee shot.
AN EXPERIENCE WELL WORTH THE GREAT DEAL.
Thank you Jay(head pro) for the great game!

Great track, front nine is definitely way tougher than the back. The lack of club house is a bit of a detriment but staff and cost make up for it.
Greens and fairway were in great shape, nasty rough greens were a bit slow but really challenging.
Thank you for the review and feedback about the course! Great to hear the staff was so accommodating, we hope you come back again soon!

The course was in very good shape considering the amount of rain we had recieved the prior week or so before our round. The pace of play was great no waiting etc. The Marshal/Starter was very friendly and offered a few tips for those of us who had not played the course in a couple of years
So great to hear you had a good round with great pace of play! Glad you came back after a couple years and that the marshal was helpful. Hope to see you soon!
Never disappointed
Great value, course is alway in great shape. Greens spead up as the day went on. My #1 local course
So great to hear we are your number 1 choice! Thanks for always coming back!
Good value
Nice greens. Rolled true with great, but not crazy, shelves and breaks.
Was not draining well after a couple of days of good rain but didn't impact too many shots other than fairway roll.
Good value, will play there again.
Thank you for the feedback and review about the course! We're glad you found that the course was a good value and hope you come back again soon!
tough greens
The green are very challenging, that definitlyl cost me strokes, had lots of fun and will visit again.
Glad you had fun! See you soon!
Good Hot Deal.
Greens were in great shape. Great deal for $30 with cart. Lack of a proper club house may disappoint some, but the golf course is good. Tight front, open back. First timer with no local knowledge can navigate the course with little problem.

We hope you will be back to play another round with us soon!

Nice course
Course was very wet standing water on quite a few fairways and most bunkers were unplayable filled with water. Golfed in 4 hours on aSaturday so good pace. Greens in decnt shape. Front nine quite a few narrow holes back nine more wide open. Good day.

Hidden gem
I've played this course a few times now. Regular price is a little expensive but I got a great deal on Golf Now. Still waiting for them to get a real clubhouse but the course is excellent. Better than some other courses in the area but not too challenging for the average golfer.
We offer the best rates on our website so be sure to check often for tee time specials! Glad you enjoyed the round!
Enjoyable Afternoon w/Wife
Wanted to take my wife to a course that wasn't high pressure and where we could golf as a twosome. Jason in pro shop was very helpful and very friendly -- indicated that a twosome was fine. Booked tee time online and got the best rate. However, when we went to tee-off the starter pushed the next twosome together with our 2 and indicated that things were backing up -- which was utter nonsense. When we finished the first hole, no one was even on the starting tee -- so we split into twosomes again. Never saw a golfer behind us until the 9th hole when things were back up ahead of us causing us all to slow down. We waited for people ahead the entire back nine, but never had anyone pushing us from behind. Not sure why the starter forced us to join together. Other than that, it was a nice afternoon -- finished in just under 4-1/2 hours. Greens were in good condition with some nice undulation so the putts were all a bit challenging without being ridiculous. Great value for money.
Sorry to hear about the twosome issue, we try to pair twosomes together so keep the pace of play consistent. We appreciate the feedback! Hope you come back this summer!
Average course conditions . Challenging greens
Beautiful weather.
Good pace of play.
Fairways were pretty bad.
Greens not in greatest shape.
A bit overvalued. Should be cheaper.
We offer the best rates on our website! Be sure to check it out for great tee time specials. We've also been working to keep the greens in good shape. We hope you give us another shot!
Poor Conditioning
Booked this course last minute after reading some positive reviews. The course was not in good shape at all. Spotty rough, fairways and tees. The greens were in good condition although slow. 4 hours and 25 minutes to play. It definitely was not worth the price of admission. There are some MUCH better options out there in this price range!
We're sorry to hear you were disappointed with the conditions! We've been working hard to keep the course in great shape. Come back this summer!
Thank you for your review and feedback about your experience at the course! Sorry to hear you had a frustrating round with the pace of play! Be sure to book your next tee time through our website for the best rates.
