Rating 69.0

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.

Great Round

Other than a couple of repairs that needed to be done, so no fault there, the coarse was great especially the greens. Can’t wait to go back.

Narrow fairways and turvy greens

The challenge at this course is avoiding going out of bounds. If you drive in the fairways (all are lined closely by townhomes) you'll score well, if not your score will spike quickly. Several of the greens undulate subtly, adding additional challenge when they are cut short.

Winter Golf

It is winter golf so it is not necessarily their fault it’s just that the greens were inconsistent . Some were fast and some so were slow. I was have a great time playing on this course. Thanks.

Good course for course management

This was a 2nd run, 2+ years with a different eye due to learning in between. The hotdeals kept beckoning. Short range 225 y makes it irons only for me. The narrow trend showed immediately on #1. Squeezed fairway tugged driver out of the options. #4 requires high degree of accuracy or a mid iron. #7 forced another 3 iron tee shot, short iron, and wedge. #9 tricked me into a driver shot, a miss right made me pay. #9's leaves will eat a non fairway tee shot, darn. #11 tight again, iron tee shot. Pick a straight club to that of with on #12. #13 may try to trick you into driver, but a mid iron keeps you dry. #15 won't fool the wiser into driver, but going right will force a tricky shot under tree limbs to a green with a street to close behind, ugh. Overall, GPS or a yardage book is useful. Know the distances, yours and the course's. Friendly folks. Hit 'em straight!

Decent course, lots of interlopers

Course condition was decent, with the exception of the greens which had been aerated recently. The main complaint is that it's wedged in between a bunch of condos and town homes. That means that it doesn't take much to accidentally hit into someones garden. It also means that local residents use it as their back yard. One neighbor was hanging out on a tee box with no shirt, chipping balls around when we came up to tee off.

pretty decent course

Several holes had their challenges. Course knowledge would have been a benefit on several holes. Then again so would have improved skill set. An excellent course for locals and seniors in particular.

The course is very noisy and not relaxing.

The pace was fast because there was not anyone in front of us or behind us.

Women's tees were hard as concrete.

Very old and dated.
