Blind Shots

I must start out and state that the course was in very good shape and the staff was very friendly. That said, I am not a fan of courses that has this many blind shots. When playing the first time without any course knowledge it is unfair. When you hit a tee shot down the middle of the fairway and end up in the ruff (high and thick ruff) because of a very sloping fairway you could not see..unfair. I would play again and recommend because of the conditions and the staff just not my favorite in the Greenville/Spartanburg area. Not a course to walk!!

Will Not Play Again Until Improvements Are Made

First of all it was very disorganized. Our tee time was 7:38AM. We arrived at 7:20 and it was chaos. There were about four or five carts of people waiting to go off of the first tee with no starter to pace anyone. I went in the clubhouse and asked if we could go off the back. I was told yes. We got to the 10th green and the sprinklers were on. We had to wait for them to go off. The majority of the back nine seemed to be in disrepair. Greens were good, but tee boxes were so dry and hard, we could hardly get our tees in the ground. When we made the turn, I went to the clubhouse to use the men's room and get a drink and the men's room was terrible. I'm sure the course was nice back in the day, but it is in desperate need of repair and maintenance. For now I will take my thirty-six bucks elsewhere.

Pretty good course

Not a bad course great value for the price. Can be pretty challenging on a couple holes. Some greens are a little chewed up but you can tell they are trying to fix the issue. Only big problem I see is the amount of geese that are on a couple of holes

Good condition for the price. Plays short from the tips. Greens held the ball on approach shots. Greens were a Little hairy but rolled true. Fun little course for people in and around Union or Spartanburg.

Great value for the money

This course has come a long way since I started playing it back in early 2008. New owners have made great improvements to fairways. Greens were excellent shape for winter. I would definitely come back again. I only wish they would improve on the 19th hole facility. A full bar and full kitchen would be nice .

Another good experience.

Always enjoy playing Heddles Hideaway. It's short but lots of slope makes it a challenge. Greens were fantastic for December golf!

Very pleasant golf course

Few holes with steep slopes and blind approach shots. Good shape overall (even after a heavy rain).
I would like to play it again.

Great experience

I have played this course for over 35 years under several owners and this is by far the BEST condition this course has ever been in. The greens were great, the fairways and tee boxes have had considerable work, the sand in the traps was consistent (although we found a few small rocks) and the staff was very cordial. We will definitely paly Heddle's Hideaway again.

One of the best staffs around.

Had to drive about 40 minutes, and I would say the course was a nice layout in decent shape. There are signs that they are working to get it better. The staff was super friendly and helpful. They made going there worth the drive. My son and I had a great time.

Very Nice Course

Really enjoyed my last round.
Greens in really good condition as are the fairways. Hit the ball where you are supposed to and there really no issues with a good score.
All new golf carts with GPS is a nice perk

Not terrible for the money.

Payed $14 for 18 w/ a cart... Wouldn't pay anymore than that. Greens were average and overall condition was adequate, but rough in parts. Course was less than 6,000 yards, even from the tips - very short. If you're close, not the worste choice. Don't drive over 30 mins for this one.

Uphill course

Most of the tees shots were uphill very few where elevated. The carts were cool with gps location on them. Be careful not to hit into the group in front of you because of layout of course

Nice course

I enjoyed the layout o the course and condition. Staff was very friendly and had great professionalism. Only issue I had was with NATS. They was horrible, I even had some body spray to repel them but to many to deal with. I will visit again in a month to see what's goin on with that situation before I schedule another tee time.
