About

The golf course at Heather Ridge provides not only a good game but also spectacular views overlooking the Rocky Mountains. The former private, 18-hole course is 6,106 yards at its longest tees and plays to a par of 70. Renowned golf course designer Richard Phelps designed the course, which opened in 1972. The small greens are undulating and extremely sloped. The course also features narrow fairways and water hazards. The most difficult hole on the Heather Ridge Golf Course is the 10th hole, which is a par-5 that covers 506 yards.

Best value in town

The course is not overly challenging. Greens were in excellent condition, and borderline fast. Pace of play on front 9 was under 2 hours (foursome walking), back 9 was 2.5 hours, had to wait on many holes. With a coupon, paid $16 for 18 holes, best deal in town.

Should have worn armor

No matter where you are on the course you're in danger of being hit by a golf ball and you have the chance to hit others as well.

Fun and challenging

This course is more challenging than you would anticipate.

The greens are difficult, a lot of traps and water

We enjoyed it

Had our group and 3 other behind us jammed by a slower group up front. I think they had one new golfer who was slowing things up, however, the thought of letting us pass wasn't on their minds or the Marshall who was wondering why so many holes in a row were starting to become wide open. At hole 10 we had enough and skipped on to 11. The group now behind us suddenly starts playing faster for some odd reason, complete with a couple of drives from behind that seemed intended to leave a message.

Not a lot anyone can do about some people....but an effort to try by the Marshall would have been nice.

The range is not open, but pub and grill are

The range is not open which makes no sense given other course have had ranges open for weeks. But they have the pub and grill open. No water for drinking on the course, and given the hot dry weather the course is in good shape.

No pull carts to rent either. Very walkable course.

Not sure I will play again, weaves through condos and apartments that encroach on course at times.

Nothing to special here.

Major Improvements toThis Course

We golfed here several years ago. We were not impressed. I do not remember much now, but I knew I did not want to go back. What I did remember was that there were some people on the 3rd whole who should nit have been there. I am thinking they have redeveloped the area. It was in great condition and very pleasant. We will return.

It was a good experience.

The course was great! A lot of apartment buildings around...Had a man come out and curse at me on hole 7 because I didn't yell fore while he was INSIDE his apartment. Other than that, a fine experience.

Great value and friendly staff.

Enjoyed the day and will play again. Overall the coarse was in great shape. Glad to see sand bottles back on carts as it appears not to many hackers replace divots. Tee boxes need some attention.
