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.

Unprofessional & aggressive rangers

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.

Seriously rude rangers

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.

Friendly staff

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.

Lush and well cared for

The course was green and lush and beautifully manicured. Even with the lush grass the greens were fast and true.
