Wry unfriendly pro shop lady

The course overall was fine. A couple issues that I had is that the Marshall came by probably 10 times during our 18 hole round never said a word just made you feel very uncomfortable. Upon check-in the lady working in the pro shop was very rude not sure if it’s because I interrupted her breakfast in order to check in or she was having a bad morning anyhow, very rude.

Awful

Called earlier in the week, was told it was totally okay for a guest to come along and ride in my cart, only to show up and they wouldn’t allow it. Guy at front desk didn’t try to help, and staff I spoke too wasn’t around, so I guess I’m SOL. Thanks heather ridge, never gonna golf here again

Challenging Neighborhood Course

I Played 18 holes with my grandson on a beautiful June morning. This is a fine facility which is well run and maintained. It is not long by today’s standards but the land is ingeniously used and tunnels link parts of the layout which has a good variety of holes with some water crossings and a fair number of sand bunkers. The fairways and greens were in good shape for this venue which plays host to many avid golf enthusiasts.

The pace of play was reasonable at just over 4 hours for mostly foursomes on the course that morning.

I played the white tees at around 5600 yards and with a 15 handicap managed a score of 83. My grandson, who is a fine player and can handle most courses from the tips, shot 69 from 5876 yards. He used mostly irons from the back tees as the fairways are threaded between townhouses, single homes and apartment buildings. His 6 iron range is roughly 250. My driver, still with mostly straight hitting, is only around 200 yards. Grandson finished with 2 birdies and grandad with 3, which made it a great day for both of us. Thanks Heather Ridge!

Cancellation Attempt

I am pleased with opportunity to play, but road stoppage on Interstate HWY caused me to not be able to get to course in a timely manner. I called, but my explanation was not accepted. A $140 charge when I attempted to cancel. I understand, but feel as though I could have be given a “rain” check, or a later tee time.
