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.

Heather Ridge, wonderful atmosphere.

Heater Ridge is a beautiful course with exceptional scenery, However, that is not what sticks out to me. The staff and the regulars that make up the place are super welcoming. I always feel good being there enjoying everything it has to offer. Especially the drinks and burgers before or after we play. I highly recommend this place to everyone!

Beautiful day on a terrific course

I hesitate to post a positive review because I fear people will discover this gem. Polite and helpful employees combined with a course in good shape for so early in the season and a consistent pace of play made for a great day. Sshh-don’t tell your friends!

Best 9 hole around

Best 9 hole around for the money. Greens were fast rolling down and a tad slow going up but were consisitant . Each hole takes some thought and love the lay out. Tee boxes need some attention but that is typical with these types of golf courses. Two little things they could do is 1, have a bucket of water at the first tee for towels and 2 make sure there is water in the ball washers ( really easy to do ) . Othere than that this place is a no brainer !!

Great day on the course

Spent a beautiful day at the course. Heather Ridge is in great shape and the people working there were incredibly friendly. Not too crowded and as a result we played quickly. Great value. Will be back!

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED, SUPER SLOW!!!

I’ve played Heather Ridge multiple times and I have always had a good experience except for yesterday! They need to space out their tee times better. I was told they only spread them out every 7 minutes which is NOT ENOUGH TIME AT ALL! We were stuck behind a foursome and a twosome on each and every hole. It totally screwed up our momentum which golfer’s know really is everything! This was beyond infuriating, upsetting & aggravating. Totally DISAPPOINTED & we won’t be going back!
