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.

Good value

Overall, a good value. I actually wish they had the space for 18 holes instead of just 9. Challenging and good features. I can play solo and finish in roughly 90 minutes (it would be faster if I played better, haha!). Already asked a friend to play here later and looking forward to playing again.

Best 9 Hole Course in the Area

Best 9 hole course in the area! The only disappointment is that they don't have a driving range to warm up at. However, Bittersweet is about 5 minutes away if you want to get in a bucket before you play.

Great Value in Gurnee

This course is very fun to play. The first hole sets up beautifully for some confidence, which is then severely tested immediately on the second hole. Hole 5 is challenging and fun. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful, and courteous. Finished my nine holes (playing two balls) in just 90 minutes. Will definitely play here again and refer theis course to friends and family.
