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.

All around great day

Played here with my boys, fairways in great shape, greens in great shape. Fairways can be considered narrow, because of OB right next to the houses with are on both sides. Greens all have slope, which is nice to be able to see the break. Didn't stop us from 3 putting, but that's our fault. A hint to mgmt. it's time for cart path improvement....Otherwise I would have scored excellent.

Very enjoyable day!!

Great Value, Great Layout. Water on multiple holes adds to the difficulty. Well worth checking out. I'd play it again.

Uninspiring

This course is packed into an urban area. They should have left more room for golf and less for the inexpensive apartment houses which crowd the course. Felt like I was golfing in Cleveland for all the views. Clubhouse has a funky indoor pool smell.

Pushed to play too fast

This is a nice course and I'll play here again for sure. The course is well maintained and I very much enjoyed the layout. There are definitely some interesting risk/reward situations. The staff in the clubhouse was great.

My one complaint was the course marshall. I fully appreciate the need to maintain pace of play, but we were pushed too fast. We were right on pace, and he came by twice telling us to speed up. We finished almost 10 minutes under pace, and after the first hole no one was pushing us from behind, so I have no idea what was going on. But he was otherwise a very friendly gentleman.

challenging but fun

I enjoyed my round at Heather Ridge thoroughly! Greens were fast and firm but overall, the course was in good shape. I played solo and was able to play the entire course without waiting until the 17th tee box. I will be back!

Decent Short Course, Great Value

The course is relatively short, but tight because it winds through a residential area and OB stakes are never too far away. Most of the fairways are quite narrow, and they were bordered by thick rough due to the moist spring this year in Denver. The greens were firm, fast and in great condition. We paid $25 including the cart, so it was a great bargain that I would recommend to all.

Great value.

Overall it was a pleasant experience. The value was the main factor I played there. I enjoyed myself and the round took just over 4 hours. The tee boxes are a bit beat up, and a few of the greens were a bit bumpy, but overall the course was in good shape.

Good Value

I has been many years since I played this course. It certain can have it's challenging holes. Hit'm straight and bring you short game. It is the kind of course that seems easy but you want to go back because you know you can do better. For $45 it is a good deal for my wife and I to get out.

Challenging for Intermediate

I have never played this course but was told it was a great course from the other reviews I've read. I only paid $25 for 18 holes with a cart and that is well worth it if you can get that deal. Unfortunately, we had a REALLY slow group in front of us that wouldn't let us pass, so it took us 5 hours to play this course. It's a really challenging course for intermediate players as the fairways are narrow, bunkers are deep and there are a lot of water hazards. The course is lined by houses, which I probably hit a few of them, but it's a fun course to play because of the area it's located.

This course has potential

I've played here several times. The course alone is generally a good experience, however, the facilities & cart paths are in need of a lot of attention. Also, the homes around the course are in the same condition. It gives one the feeling that management has no $$ for improvements.
