Rating 34.7

HeatherRidge Golf Course is a nine-hole course with all the challenges of a full-length course. It's an ideal round for when you don't have time to play 18 holes. Water has a prominent presence throughout thanks to a creek that winds through the entire course with tributaries that snake in and out of the holes and there are also ponds that come into play. You'll find water on a total of seven holes. There are a few other tricky spots to watch out for as well, including subtle breaks in the greens. Hitting straight is the key to scoring well and both accuracy and creative shot-making skills are needed. HeatherRidge G.C. has appeal for players of all skill levels and the affordable rates make it doubly appealing.

Challenging 9 hole course

I’ve been playing here for a long time. It’s one of the best 9 hole courses in Lake Country.

11:50am round

The course was in good condition but looks like too many tee times were booked for the same time. Groups were backed up and the wait was long. Our group did not see any marshals during our round.

Great experience

I Live in Hoffman Estates and golf at least twice weekly. Heather Ridge has become our favorite golf place. The atmosphere is with sticks out to us. Friendly people courteous and patient throughout. Not to mention Wendy who remembers our order and makes one hec of a double cheeseburger. She’s super friendly and we enjoy coming on Thursdays and Fridays to see her. Great job Heather Ridge!

Enjoyable round

I really like the layout of this course. However, I played late in the afternoon one day after a large storm and the course was not cleaned from debris, excessive water on the fairways, branches and on one hole there was a tree blocking the cart path. I still enjoyed the round but it would have been nice for the staff to mentioned these issues when I arrived at the clubhouse.

Relaxed and Fun

First time playing Heather Ridge. Course is perfect for inexperienced golfers and for a group,wanting to get out and have some fun together. A lot of couples playing a relaxed round. Tees and Greens in great shape. Playable for all and still challenging for more experienced golfers. If you’re looking to get in a relaxing 9 holes, Heather Ridge is a great option!

Great 9 hole course

Very nice track , nice fairways and nice greens . Great run off when wet . Played from the tips . There’s a long par 3 that was (to the eye ) longer than typical of par 3’s. I’ll play there again no doubt. I play Pine Meadow , Steple Chase etc and for a 9 for the price you can’t beat it!!
