About

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.

Heatherridge - very Good Value

Heatherridge is a very good 9 hole course. The layout gives it a private course feel. The staff are always friendly and makes you want to come back.

Early Round

Golf course is consistently in good shape. Our round was early in the morning and the greens were very wet. Looked like they just had been watered so they were very slow but outside of that it was a very enjoyable round.

Love Heather Ridge

Heather Ridge has become a home course for us. The best thing is the people. Always friendly, always helpful and never pushy. We love it!! Afterwards we hang out and order burgers which are awesome. Wendy makes a mean burger and is a super nice lady. We always look forward to coming out on days she's working to support. Thank you Heather Ridge, please DON'T CHANGE.

A great 9-hole course

This golf course is well maintained. I like the layout of course. The pace was good on Saturday morning. A few holes are challenging. I will play at this course again.

Never got to play.

Golf shop wasn’t even open till after 8 when my tee time was for 7:52.

Should have been ahead of a big group that ended up before me waiting (of which they were grabbing my clubs in my bag in front of the clubhouse while I was on the putting green). Thoroughly irked about that specifically.

Just left before even going inside.

no pace management ruin a good quality course

a group of three novice player hit a hot average 30 yards and no sense of golf etiquette to allow fast players pass.

And slow leave green after hole the balls.

Not recommend to friend due to no ranger to keep pace.
