would imagine this will be wide open to abuse. Fellas taking a free round of golf with little if any intention of joining???? How likely is that would one think?

Well I know that if I lived near it I'd take the free round no problem.

Extremely likely. And I am sure they are well aware of it. Banking on maybe people having a meal / drink afterwards. And who knows...if they present the place well enough they may get some people who are on the verge of joining a club to take a leap.

Free round at the Heritage...hmmm..tempting isnt it.

If you're a decent player you'll enjoy it, if you are wayward you won't. Far too tight for me. I was in water all day.

i have played it 5 times in the last 2 years and love it. Am a high handicapper as well. It takes at least 2 rounds to really enjoy it though. Too many bunkers on some holes.

Cheers lads, sounds tough , tight and lots of bunkers, not a great combo, but then again I don't mind a challenge.

Pilsbury Doughboy

Leslie are you a decent player? When you say tight, how tight(tough to judge I know) but were you spraying your drives or just slightly wayward?

I ain't a member anywhere so no handicap, my last was round was an 80 in Hollywood Lakes in anyone knows it? I'd guess I'm a 10-15 handicapper.

I wouldn't have described it as tight, it's long with good strategic use of water with plenty of bail out room avoiding the water that will further lengthen the holes. There are very few trees in play on the course which is somewhat unusual for a parkland so bunkers and water hazards are the course's main defense. There's a very good course view/stroke saver on their website so check that out before playing to devise the best strategy for your game.

The bunkers in particular have suffered over the past couple of years due to the maintenance required to upkeep their number and irregular shapes. Probably best to play rake and place in the bunkers unless advised otherwise that they're out of play. Other than that it's a great course and one I always enjoy playing, it's just a pity it's so far away in terms of being a membership consideration.

Thanks for that I was hoping someone would say it wasn't that tight, like the fact not many trees on it either, that's a plus point for me!
