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.

Good value, good course.

Heather ridge was a pleasant surprise. I have spent the last three years in the Phoenix area playing all types of courses. Now that I moved to Denver I randomly picked a course to play as soon as the snow melted and temp was above 60 degrees. Price was $44 which is comparable to what I'm used to, course was in terrific condition, and greens were incredibly fast and healthy.
The layout would be a good one to walk, but the carts were electric and in good shape for the lazy out there like me. Course has great open fairways, good for a slight slice like mine, and the greens aren't too challenging to get to, but some are very well protected. I have a 19 handicap and with a couple better decisions, I could play this course consistently in the mid 80's.

Loves the Greens

Even though it was the middle of March, the greens were in great condition. There was a lot of contour in the greens that made them very challenging. I will definitely come back this summer to play them at there top speed, should make them even more challenging!

Over priced

I was charged $40.00 for that round which was advertised as a 24% savings. When I got to the course, I noticed that the rate on the board was $32.00; it was only worth about $25.00 to play. My first and last impression is that the course is a poor to average maintained muni. It was very short (par 70) and very tight. It wouldn't be my first choice if I had to play it again.

Good value

Excellent value. Course is pretty good with fairly challenging greens. Greens are in good shape. The houses, condos, etc. that line the fairways are a bit intimidating. Keep it straight.

Hit 'em straight

The best memory was the friendly staff. I will be back because they treat you like they are glad you were there. The course is challenging, lots of water, sand and best of all fun. The golf course was in excellent condition--Fast Greens, fairways like carpet, but you had better hit them straight.

great course

This was a great course for 1 out of stater & 2 out of towners; however, have never dealt with such unfriendly staff. I have played so many courses in Nebraska which blow this staffs courtesy out of the water. From marshal telling us we are on pace at hole 8 to being told on hole 15 that we need to speed up our remaining holes because we exceeded the pace time. It took us just over 4 hours & pretty much drove the last few holes only. We never had anyone waiting on us but did let 2 2-somes pass us as they had hit the tee box while we arrived to our balls. Anyways, I understand we are all recreational golfers out to have fun & one person had only golfed a couple times but Heather Ridge experience left a sour tastes in our mouth. We adhered to golf etiquette but just took quite a few more hits. I understand pace play is set, however I'm.sure it does get broken as it did in our case unfortunately. I understand if we were holding groups up but we never did & courteously let 2 groups pass without hesitation to slow them up. It was a great course to play, staff could've been more professional.

Fun and challenging course

The holes are pretty short but narrow and the greens are difficult. My only complaint was that the houses were too close in some places, and I was OB when normally I wouldn't have been. Lots of water hazards.

Solid Course

Staff is very friendly and polite. The fairways are wide but the greens are where your score will be determined. The course has a couple of odd holes... ie. #6 but the others are fair. The club house is old and in need of renovation. But the value is well worth it!

Tight, short, course through condos.

Strange cart path/ drainage ditch in poor condition. Long bumpy ride. Soft, fast greens, with lots of undulations.

Very nice Course!!

My experience with this course continues it's consistency. Horrible outside service, lazy and rude. Very friendly check in service...gal in pro shop is extremely welcoming and nice, (and hot) rude dude inside continues to cut off conversations and is absolutely worthless at keeping up the pace of play. Restaurant service is ridiculous. Who wants to go to a restaurant where all they ever do is sit outside and smoke, then serve your food with out washing their hands. Beverage Cart service, I saw once on 18 holes and that was at the turn.
The golf course, however is in great condition. If you are going just for golf, I recommend, if you are going for service and golf, go somewhere else. Horrible management!!

Over booked

The course was WAY over booked and not enough time to play each hole with 3 teams backed up on us. I would not recommend this course or go back here.

Average Course

The greens were in very good shape, but the atmosphere was merely average. I would describe the experience as a whole as average. It is exactly what one would expect out of a municipal course.

First Time

This was the first time at this course but the treatment we received was awesome. The course layout was fun and challenging and the day we played the hole placements were tough. My foursome played 18 holes in 4 hours.....we could have gone faster if we were better golfers.

Disappointment

This course was very lackluster with outdated facilities and unmanacured grounds. The cart paths and parking lots need serious attention and the course was bumpy which made the ride on the cart very uncomfortable. I play golf to relax, enjoy the outdoors and a beautiful course. My my experice at Heather Ridge was quite the opposite. Let's just say my time at this course was my first and definitely my last.
