Heritage Golf Links - Tradition Nine

They book tee time every 5 minutes and the course is backed up every hole. The fairway is not maintained

This morning I was stuck between a slow threesome that wouldn't let me play through and a twosome that wouldn't move up and join me. They stopped short of hitting into me, however, which I appreciated. When I made the turn from Legacy, I decided to try Traditions. It seemed the better option based on my first nine holes. Unfortunately the grounds crew was watering the greens over there.

This is the kind of experience you can have at Heritage. I'm not saying this will happen every time, but it happens way too often.

This is a pretty good layout depending on the 2 nines you play. Greens are very undulating but not in great shape, which is probably to be expected with such a high traffic public course. Pace of play is terrible. Need more rangers out keeping slow groups moving or out of the way. Not a great value here due to pace and course conditions but the layout isn’t bad. Again, since there isn’t much else in the area that is public they seem to be able to charge more than it’s probably worth to play. Worth checking out at least once.

Tough layout that with a large amount of sand. Problem is they are not super maintained. Not much sand in them and what’s the point of boasting so many traps when most of them are rock hard. Greens are ridiculous. Although well kept half of them have ridiculous elevation changes with tiers 3-5 feet up or down. Most cases not just one. Most hole locations are on a hill considering there isn’t a flat spot on a green to put it on. Walked up to a few greens thinking what idiot designed this? Fun course to play but don’t expect to score well if you can’t pin hunt or lag putt well with 15 feet of break.

Tee boxes were devoid of grass. Fairways were pretty much same as rough, and greens were bumpy and extremely slow. Bunkers have about half inch of sand, making it difficult to play bunker shots. I was very disappointed in the condition of the course.

Probably the most challenging course I’ve played in a while. Links style fairways, trees and some ridiculous greens. The slopes and tears on the greens are hard to believe. Play in the fairway and land near the pins and you’ll have a great day!
