Heather Ridge Golf Course

First time playing Heather Gardens and while the course was in decent shape, it was a very disappointing experience due entirely to unprofessional and aggressive rangers.

The course was described to me as a decent muni that beginners could learn on even during a weekend. I witnessed a variety of skill levels on the course that day and the pace of play was fine. There were some bottlenecks but not unlike any other course I've played. The difference at Heather Gardens was the rangers. They asked my group to pick up the pace once which was fine. We did have a beginner in our group. It should be noted we did not have a back up behind us, we had simply fallen off the pace slightly. Over the next four holes, the ranger was rude and aggressive. He was following behind us each shot pressuring the beginner to move faster. It ruined the experience for this person and impacted our day.

Later in the round, it was nearly 100 degrees. As we waited to tee off, we pulled the cart just off the cart path to find shade. A couple of feet. The ranger proceeded to lecture us about staying on the cart path. When I agreed to move it, he continued to lecture about how the grass will never recover. from this. He was clearly targeting our group. If the entire course would have been pristine with no bare spots, that would have been one thing - but it wasn't. There were dry spots all over and this ranger was simply acting unprofessionally. These are the reasons people don't come back to golf courses. I would rather play on a lower quality course with friendly staff than to put up with a ranger on a power trip.

Rangers completely harassed us and followed us down one fairway causing extreme stress on one of our players forcing us to play slow. We were the ones waiting on ppl in front of us. We will never play here again because of this. The cost is way too high for a very cheap trashy course. Cheap because it’s not well maintained and Trashy because of the way you’re treated here.

Course was in great shape. A fun afternoon. Can’t wait to get back out there and play again.

I got on with golf now and the staff was great! The course and pace of play was great as well. I will be back again.

Staff is super friendly , course is in pretty no old shape. A little pricy considering nicer courses costing the same. Not the course for people who cut left or right due to almost every hole being lined with condos.

We absolutely loved this course!!! I’d definitely play it again!

Hidden gem of a course! Always organized and friendly!

Tight fairways, good condition, nice greens, overallk a good course
