We the undersigned want to make known to the owners of Heritage Village CC that the conditions of the course are no longer acceptable.
While it is certainly understood that the relationship to the river and the weather conditions of 2011 have presented huge challenges, this is not what we are addressing.
We are addressing the general conditions. We have heard over the years that regardless of the conditions HVCC is a "good value". That is no longer the case. The conditions of our course this year have made it an embarrassment to bring guests to.
-Many days our greens are almost unputtably slow. They are kept far too long and are not competitive with other courses.
-Our traps are inconsistant, full of rocks and often unraked at the beginning of the day.
-Our tee boxes are inconsistant and in several cases ragged in condition.
-The maintenance people do a marginal job. Pins are poorly set with old cups sometimes 1/4 inch raised. Tee boxes are set in the way of each other and facing the wrong direction.
-Trimming and edging of fairways, tees, greens and bunkers are substandard.
-Grass growth on the fairways as well as the rough is inconsistant and often non-existant. The need for a new sprinkler system is obvious and urgent.
Ours could easily be the gem it was 50 years ago when it was first developed. Unfortunately without updating all we are now is an old tired facility. One need only venture to any area courses, private or public, and see that we are way behind the times and in need of refreshing. We the undersigned ask that major investment be made toward the areas addressed immediately.

I have been hearing from so many of you who feel the same frustration every time you step onto the course. It is heartbreaking to see what was once a gem fall into such neglect but your stories are giving me the resolve to keep pushing for actual maintenance improvements.
September 20, 2011
Seeing this level of support confirms what I have felt while walking these tired fairways for years. It is no longer just me noticing these neglected bunkers and ragged greens. The people in charge need to realize that our pride in this community is fueled by the potential this course once held.

About time someone said it. The maintenance is a joke right now.
We deserve better for the price. Such a shame given the history of this place.
FIX THE SPRINKLERS. Bare patches everywhere and the fairways look like a dirt lot. Waste of money.
Too many rocks in the bunkers. I broke my wedge last week because of it. Fix the course or lower the rates.
Used to love playing here but it has really gone downhill lately. Embarrassing to invite friends over for a round.

The greens are so slow it ruins the whole game. Seriously needs some attention.
