Heather Hills is just like the name suggests, hilly. So much so that it's tough to see over the hills on a few holes. This can be a problem when it's busy, but you should know that before you book a tee time. I play from the white tees. From there it's 6,108 total posted yards and you can see the fairways go significantly up and down and back again all the way to the green. There are a few ponds in the middle of the course that come into play on a few holes and there's also a thin stream with some high heather that runs across some of the same holes and a few more. I don't recall there being any sand on this course and the the front 9 is pretty wide open fairways that run adjacent to each other. This makes it pretty friendly to any player who loses balls severely left or right. The back 9 is more difficult with tree lined fairways and a long par 3 that is unforgiving to anyone with a slice, but it's still a very fun and scenic 9 holes. The greens are not too difficult. They can be fast in peak conditions and there are a few pin positions that can be tough, but overall I would say they are on the easier side. Carts are bare essentials gas carts. That means no ball or club washers, rain hoods for your clubs, or even a windshield. There is at least one ball washer on every hole though. Extra scorecards are also available on holes 2 and 11. Tees are clearly marked. Some tee boxes are a little crowned and have excessive divots, but that's a minor gripe for me. The course quality and enjoyment are right up there with other nearby courses such as Devil's Ridge and Boulder Pointe, but you'll spend up to $23 less on the normal Saturday morning price at Heather Hills. At $42 or much less with a hotdeal on Golfnow, Heather Hills is a great value and is a big part of what makes this course a hidden gem. Off course amenities include a putting green and a range. They only offer small buckets at $4 each and the range is only about 200 yards. Food options at the turn are the typical hotdog, bag of chips, etc. They do have a cart girl. The clubhouse is small with a few irons of balls, apparel, and accessories. Overall, I love this course. It's one of my favorites. I just wish I lived...

ย ย ย Read moreCalled prior to booking to ensure that my 3 year old would be allowed on the course. Was told "absolutely, no problem," Drove 30 minutes and was told by the staff associate and manager he was not allowed; even after I assured them he wouldn't leave my side and we are very cognizant of our surroundings, we've gone several times before. The course was not busy at all... The manager stated, "a golf ball could hit him in the head and you're a BAD FATHER for taking him out there regardless that it's not busy... policy is 8 and up." A golf ball hitting a 3 year old has the same impact hitting an 8 year old or a 30 year old. Everyone takes that risk going on any golf course regardless of age - it's an unspoken rule. I will never go to this golf course ever again and do not recommend it to anyone on any level.
How about the fact your Manager called someone "a bad father" for spending time with their child? It was made clear on the phone the age of the child - your staff needs training on tact and listening to customers over the phone.
Name calling is no way to...
