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.

Over priced

I should have checked the course price before deciding on the deal. After the convenience fee and taxes, it ended up costing me more than if I would have booked it with the course.

Slowest round.

Every tee box had 2 groups waiting. Don’t play here if you’re looking for an enjoyable well paced round.

Excellent 9 holes course

Course in great condition; good for a quick round of golf. The day we played the temperature was over 95 so it was very hot and quiet enjoyable but the course was in great shape and because of the hot weather, hardly anyone was out so we practically had the golf course to ourselves.

Terrible Service

I booked a tee time 2 weeks in advance. We arrived 30 minutes before tee time as well and were notified that we would only have 1 hour to play as they would need the golf carts for an outing. When asking why they wouldn't just cancel my reservation in advance or call me as I drove an hour, I was countered with a response of "if you're good enough it should only take you an hour to complete a 9 hole game". We proceeded to play anyway and made it to the 6th hole before we were kicked off the course and asked to return the golf carts. When asking for a refund we were given a voucher for another round but it had to be used on a weekday. . we were playing on a Saturday. Overall I would not recommend this place based on the customer service and for what they charge. There are other courses with better carts, greens, and customer service.

Quick 9 in nice condition

Course was in good condition. Pace of play not an issue as I was the first tee time on a Sunday. First tee looked very busy when I got back round!

I really enjoy the layout and I don’t think the slope rating really gives an accurate indication of the course. Lots of trouble in play and the greens can be very tricky.

Many better courses to play

Looked good online but when we arrived it was very disappointing: the staff was very disorganized and they said the whole day was running behind since early morning so clearly there is a time management issue. The staff did not have any interest on trying to inform us as to when our tee time would be adjusted to it was every man for themselves. There were groups of 5-6 playing ahead and it was pretty chaotic overall. You get what you pay for.
