Interesting Course Layout, however in poor shape
Played 9 holes on a Sunday evening. Pro shop staff didn't really seem to know what was going on and sort of stood behind the desk until I initiated communication. The course had a nice layout but was in very poor condition. Tee boxes were not level and were filled with large divots. Every bunker I saw was erroded and filled with knee high weeds. Fairways were in good condition and greens were filled with ball marks. Overall, I would not recommend this course at current listed prices.
They are letting this course go!!!!!
This course has major issues with there many bunkers, they are full of rocks and need 1000's of lbs of sand added. They greens are in terrible shape. The price was right I paid only $20. This course used to demand $50. I would never play this course for more then $30. Not sure who is running this place but they should be fired.
cheap 18 holes
Bunkers didn't have sand in them. Either had to putt on wet greens or wait for crew to mow them. But for 22 for 18 and cart, it was OK. If I had to pay more, I would have been disappointed.
fun course to play
The fairways are in excellent condition as are most of the greens. Some are spotty. The sandtraps, because of all the rain are in poor repair, some without any sand, but they were working on t hem as we played.
This course was really challenging.
The narrow fairways really provide a challenge for average golfers like myself. It took me an hour to get to the course from where I live but I knew that going in. If I am ever in the area again, I'll definitely play at Heritage!
This course is challenging and no whole is the same.
Good course and always a great rate through GolfNow.
Sand traps could use some attention, otherwise course is in good shape!
Played this course a few times and have enjoyed each round. Nice facilities and a great staff!
Great course, sunrise special not so "special"
I was excited to get a tee time for the discounted weekday sunrise rate of $21. Fantastic rate for 18 with a cart, plus being early I got done in 2 hours.
I don't know if I will use this tee time again (6am). I had someone working on my hole for 12 of the 18 holes - either mowing greens, mowing fairways, or cutting new pin holes. One guy even pulled the pin as he drove by the hole on his mower right as I was about to chip!
I think that the "moustache mower guy" and I had a special connection, we saw each other many times throughout the morning. We might hook up on Facebook. He wasn't the one that pulled the pin while I was chipping :)
I guess I'd recommend paying a higher rate and not going out while the course is swarming with workers, I find it harder to hit with a worker on the course than when someone yells "fore" during my backswing.
A good value round
I've played Heritage Links many times but this was my first round there this year. Unfortunately it appears the wet spring has not been kind to the course. There are many bare spots and ruts from carts in the fairway that can leave you with a very poor lie even when you have an excellent tee shot. This is discouraging to say the least.
The greens seemed to be in really good shape. My only complaint there is that the putting green was much slower than the actual greens so it took awhile to adjust once I started playing.
I will be going back as this course is very convenient for me. However I will only play it when the price is right.
Another Great Value
Overall the course is moderately challenging, mostly flat, with fairways that are close together. Although the course was in rough shape, I played fairly early in the season and on a day that followed 3 days of rain. Fairways and rough areas were fairly wet, however the greens were dry and fast. I would return for the value and location.
Just Average
One can tell the layout of the course was good but it came through winter in rough shape. When we got to the course the person manning the golf shop was not friendly just threw us our cart keys and told us we were on the tee. In the middle of the summer, I would recommend this course because the layout is good.
Course is maintained well
Was windy when we played, so it made some of the holes more challenging. Some blind approach shots. Would play a little different after playing the course and knowing where to hit.
Wind always blows, blind tee shots, good layout.
Course was in good shape for this time of year. Tends to stack tee times sometimes. Tee shot from elevated tips on hole 15 must be played.
Good hacking practice course
In genera, the course has a wide open design. One can enjoy hitting long. The course's biggest issue is that there are many blind shots, which take away excitement. (Meadowbrook like?) This is a windy course, always, so when the wind goes against, this course seems a lot longer than the yardage shows. The worst hole may be the hole no. 18, par 4, of which design needs major changes - two hidden ponds guarding the fairway at 250 to 280 yards out and then you may need a fairway wood to hit to the green. For a short hitter, this hole is a guaranteed 5 or more. Not fun. These being said, this has a good value if a hot deal is offered, and I encourage interested golfers to try this course. People are friendly there, and this could offer you very good practice rounds. If you pay for a regular price, you may question if this course is worth it. This depends upon your skills and preferences.
Course is in rough shape
Played 18 holes today -- course is still relatively wet, greens are still brown and the bunkers are unplayable. Might be worth a shot later in the season but for right now save your money. Many of the holes have either a blind 1st or 2nd shot -- fun for a couple of holes but if you aren't familar with the course it can be a struggle.
Just Terrible
This course is no good, don't waste your time or money. The first time I played they had to give our foursome free passes. I went back and had the worst experience ever at this course. Slow play and disorderly staff, who were playing the course causing the slow play. Hands down the worst course in MN.
mostly average. bad 3 finishing holes
as name would imply, mostly linksy. trees on some holes but not what i would call wooded. This course has some unique holes,. a couple border on gimmicky. biggest problem is last 3 holes are laid out badly. 16 has not 1 but 2 chances to hit blindly into hazard even if slightly off line as terrain slopes to them. 18 is blind off tee with water on both sides forcing safe shots to leave 190-200 yds to elevated green. i would only play this if a really great price.
This course has improved over several years
I rated a great value because this course is big into marketing on several sites including Golf Now, email sign up and others. They run specials often and when you can get their specials it's a great deal. I do not think the course is worth their regular green fee's. I have played this course several times and only once did I encounter slow play, usually everyone keeps up and on this day I played in 3.5 hours, NICE! Maintance should keep ball washers filled with water, and carts can be dirty. The fairways and greens have improved over the years. On this day things were very dry, but it has been dry weather throughtout the Twin Cities. It's an average S. of the river course, with great deals and available tee times.
Over booked.
The course was great, but there were way to many golfers on the course. Instead of paying attention to golfing, we spent the entire round paying attention to where everyone was so we didn't get hit.
