Heritage Golf Links - Tradition Nine

Slowest round ever played

The back 9 was like a par 3 course and very dangerous tee shots over the head of other tee boxes

They charge $100 per person. This is a $20 dollar goat farm

Most of the greens were in decent condition but were extremely slow. We weren’t used to the kind of grass on the fairway or the greens. Even though a few of the holes were under construction, it was fun to play

First time playing this course. Early afternoon tee time and the course was wide open. Couldn’t have been a better day for golf. Sunny and mid-70s. There was no staff present from the parking lot to the pro shop. The pro shop had one employee working and didn’t look up when I approached. I spoke first and told him my tee time. At first he couldn’t find my tee time. Once he located my time he just told me the amount. After my card went through he handed me a cart key and a receipt which he wrote my tee time and something else. Back outside I found a cart. Still no staff to be found. I followed a sign to the first tee where a grumpy old starter sat in his cart. Once again it was as though I was a bother. He yelled up to another patron that was on the range and said we would be paired together with another two-some. I told the starter I had not played the course before which he replied for me to just follow my playing partner. I have been playing Chicopee Woods and Reunion a lot lately which both courses have very friendly and helpful personnel. To me Heritage seemed to not want to deal with me. I will say that the course was in excellent condition. The have put a lot of money back into the course. I also enjoyed the layout. It is a tight course yet old school open with nice open views of the Georgia pines. I do feel that if the owners want to make improvements to the entire facility then the staff needs be included. First impressions do make a difference.

Driving range was closed without notice. Construction equipment everywhere. Some greens closed. lost ball 4 times while hitting it right down the middle as the grass was too long. Was able to find about 10 balls for the same reason so that balanced it out, With the exception of John the Marshall who was great the rest of the staff made it feel like we were inconveniencing them by being there. Will not go back. Should mention course is undergoing renovation in the booking process.

I was very disappointed by this course, only the tradition part of the course is currently open which is fair because you know in advance, tradition is a small and tight layout with very insulated greens, the greens are very patchy and we’re extremely soft the day we played, pitch shots would not even bounce once and got stuck immediately, of course many people don’t fox their pitch marks… I did not enjoy playing the course specifically for the greens but also the rest of the course is not in great condition, I will not play there again until the rest of the course is open and tradition I will never play again

The main 18 holes were closed!

I wouldn’t have played if I’d known.

You could only play the same 9 holes twice. The course was backed up so the pace of play way slow. Approximately 2:50 minutes for 9 holes. They wanted carts in at 7:15 pm, I had only completed 9 holes. Went to the clubhouse to ask for a rain check for 9 holes but was denied.

Golfnow should take Traditions GC off their list. Playing the same 9 twice with two flags on the green is something we did not expect that for the price. Disappointing to see that golfnow placed this on without any warning that the regular 18 hole course was closed for renovation.

Only thing was pace of play. Marshall told us a lot of people were late which caused the delays. Not their fault.

No communication by the course about the two closed regular 9-hole sections and no maintenance done on the lone 9 holes forced to play twice. Not happy!!@!

The course is been ripped apart and now they want you to play the worst 9 hole course twice. They did not make that clear when I was making my tee time. Best to stay away from this course until they get their act together.

Basically this review is to let anyone looking to play to wait until the front 9 opens back up. The Tradition land has been sold and maintenance has ceased, understandably so. I didn't wait because I wanted to cheap price.

This course is less than half a mile from my house, but I never got to play because when the front 9 was still open it was $90/golfer...idc how close it is I'm not and probably never will be good enough to pay $90.

They shut down the front 9 for renovations and are now playing the back 9 twice for 18. Because of this I got the opportunity to play because the price was reduced due to the construction. I had the worst round of my life, lol. Must've been the pressure of finally getting to play the course that I used for the driving range the first time I picked up golf....much improvement in my game since then -- it will always have a special place in my heart.

I guess I was unrealistically expecting better greens considering the usual $90 I see on some days, but retrospectively the greens were in no shape to be played. Maybe from over use, maybe because they don't see a point in maintenance since they sold the lot for a housing development But I have seen better greens at the RiverPines 9-Hole Par 3 unfortunately.

Cart paths were very bumpy, but again...that land has been sold so putting money into it would be a waste.

If you're looking for a classic Heritage experience wait for the front 9 to come back!

2 of the 3 nines are under renovation. I understand that and appreciate that they are maki g an investment in the future because this is usually a gem of a course. Unfortunately the greens on the one nine that is open are in very rough condition. The on course drink setup was great and the staff was very friendly,
