Heritage Golf Links - Heritage Nine

First,overall, this is a really fun and interesting course to play. I played Legacy/Heritage. I enjoyed the Heritage back 9 more than the Legacy front 9, as it at least had more holes you could actually see where the greens were. Very hilly and tight fairways that are very tough unless you already know the course, which is not a bad thing. Just very tough if you haven't played there before.

Generally, the course was in good shape...except for the greens and the bunkers.

I'd read many reviews of this course and they were correct...for some reason, people don't fix their ball marks on the greens! There's a sign in the cart almost begging people to fix their marks, clearly to no avail. Aside from that, the greens were great. One of the few courses I've played here in Atlanta where you can actually stop the ball and had consistent roll. Too bad people are just jerks and don't keep the greens nice for anyone else.

Sadly, the bunkers were terrible. Even though it hadn't rained recently, most were wet and rock hard. It was impossible to tell how to play out of them until you actually hit one. They really need to fix that. I just gave myself extra strokes anytime I had to play out of a bunker.

I'd also read a lot of reviews that talked about slow pace of play. My group luckily didn't have anyone in front of us until late in the back 9. However, one of our foursome was really bad at spending too much time looking for his balls, which are easily lost on this course, and slowed down the play behind us. I imagine the people behind us felt like the pace was really slow, as they had to wait at every hole. I can see how this could happen regularly here with how tight the fairways are and how easy it is to lose balls. If everyone stuck to proper etiquette and only took a few minutes to look, it would be fine.

The layout is fun teen to green, but the greens arent what they used to be. Theyre slow and spongy.

The layout is fun, but you cant score on the spongy greens.

The range was closed in the morning, pace was slow and if I was the pro shop I would give golfers a divot repair tool. I fixed at least 5-8 divots per hole. No diet drinks on the drink cart.

Would play it again.

It would be much much nicer if they would put ACTUAL REAL SAND I. The sand traps instead of dried up dirt!!!

The course has a great layout with enough challenges for the advance golfer and not too hard for the beginners. The greens could be in better shape.

greens terrible, hardened sand in traps, fairways fine. I have played before when everything was as good as it gets, so this is disappointing...assuming it is temporary problem I would call first and see if they have a handle on it.

Friendly staff and professional. Loved playing here. Challenging course but fun

The course is a challenge with the undulations from tee to green. Makes it interesting for sure. Greens were ok, most very good and a few patchy but they all rolled nice.

Pace was a bit slow on front 9 but ended up being 4 1/2 so reasonable.

Food and services were good and available at the turn.

Definitely would play again and recommend

I’ve played this course many times over the years. The course conditions are good for the year except the green complexes. The greens are in terrible shape. They are slow and in bad shape. This course could be a great track to play if the greens were replaced with a champion Bermuda grass which would help with maintaining them, especially since it gets so much public play and pitch marks are everywhere.
