Heather Ridge Golf Course

The place is relatively conveniently located, but if it your first time playing, it is a bit challenging which way to go from the parking lot to the golf shop (just go right, haha). From the moment I got to the shop, there was a man and his son about to play, and they showed up 2 hours early and the son was claimed as a "spectator" all for $23. Of course later, I saw them playing together, both with clubs on the back nine much ahead of their 3:30 pm tee time, but that is neither here nor there. I checked in after the father and son duo and asked if it would be okay if I didn't take a cart, and then the guy at the counter said I would need to pair up with the guy at the tee box. I declined and he told me I would have to move quickly and the GolfNow price was with a cart so there was absolutely nothing he could do. I was not asking for anything because I wanted to walk, but thanks for putting the fact out there. Other than the bad experience from the beginning, I overall had a great time on the course. I was caught behind a threesome and the ranger came and asked if I wanted to be transplanted up a few holes, which I agreed. He seemed nice and helpful. Other than that, the play was relatively unremarkable. Just remember to not ask if it is okay to walk the course, because the counter boy is going to get onto you for wanting a discount or something...

Always have a good time golfing at Heather Ridge!! Book on Golf Now and get great rates at this course!! The Staff and fellow golfers are always friendly! Not sure about the breakfast burrito i bought but Noonans Tavern upstairs serves a good lunch Highly recommend after a round of golf!!!!

My wife and I just played this course for the first time and can't wait to go back. This is a great aurora course with tons of obstacles. This place really is a gem with the amount of water Hazzards you need to negotiate. Can't wait to go back.

Hi golfer(s),

I decided to give this course a shot and was extremely disappointed. I generally do not fill out reviews but felt the need to warn any curious minds about this course.

Course: it is nothing special, you are playing through neighborhoods of apartments.. link style, narrow. Tee off and you are practically hitting towards the group in front of you. Green side sand traps require no skill, you can putt your ball out of them. Moving past that, any decent "view" of scenery is obstructed by apartments, condos, parking lots, etc. There was not one hole or time I took a photo during the round. I love snapping quick pictures on my iPhone if that helps clarify.

Atmosphere: I am by no means a professional golfer; however, I do understand the etiquette of golf. You could very well be on the tee and about to swing, carts would continue to drive and/or continue about very loud conversations. The clientele is very amateur, I do not know if anyone thought about letting a group play through - the round lasted way too long for a 70 par course (35/35).

Price: overpriced - period. For the quality of course, you might as well shell out the $5-15 extra dollars for nicer course like Colorado National.

Staff: was probably the only positive aspect of this course. They were helpful - especially in providing my aiming fluid (beers).

Happy golfing!

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.

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!

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.

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.

Chose not to believe the weatherman but temp dropped 30 degrees and the wind picked up to 50mph.

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.

Very nice staff the courseis in good conditionplay was nonstop hole to holeand all I can say is that they could use more layout description pearl home on every holeon the play cards no yardages markers don't know what club to use to lay upand no yardages to the water or creaks etc

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.

they paired us with 2 that did golf now too. its a cool tight little course , someone always hits a house if not everyone.good deal.

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.

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!

as a beginning female golfer it was a fun challenge. Cant wait to play again

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

Pros: price, course conditions, availability, customer service.

Cons: worst cart paths ever. Brand new carts but a bumpy ride.

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!!

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.
