About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 72
Length 6976 yards
Slope 133
Rating 73.0

Heritage Isles is a scenic course that cut through native cypress heads and natural wetland areas. At 6,976 yards from the tips, it is one of the most demanding public golf courses in the Bay area. While water does come into play on all 18 holes the premium has been put on the short game. With large, meticulously maintained greens, those players who are handy on the putting surface should be able to shave a few strokes off their scores.

Horrible pace of play

Took five hours to finish our round, which started just past 11 am. Extremely slow play the whole way having to wait 15-20 minutes after finishing each hole for us to be able to take a swing off the tee boxes. The course ranger was driving by us every couple of holes and said with an attitude to us that the course was completely full... this was around 1-2pm when we finally stopped him to ask about pace of play.

This is the middle of the summer; I've never been backed up like this before in the middle of the hottest part of the day. If it's this bad right now, I won't ever come back during snowbird season. Heritage Isles is a fun course, and they try to take care of the course for the most part. But the staff isn't very friendly, and you're more than likely going to have to wait 20 minutes between shots while you watch a giant hackfest going on in front of you with not a single soul knowing what ready golf is.

Nice course

Course was nice and a value for the money. Bayscape bistro afterwards was great. Friendly staff and good pace of play today. The course needed to be mowed but only because it had rained and they hadn’t had a chance yet. Greens recovering well from maintenance and I will come back again.

Thank you

Excellent course conditions

The course was in excellent condition from tee box to green. The fairways were in perfect condition and so were the greens. The greens were rolling slow even though it appeared the grass was cut low. The layout was challenging but not too difficult. Placement of your tee shot was extremely important as the rough was a little tall, but acceptable because it should penalize you for not staying in the fairway. The only negative were the fairway bunkers. They were lacking sand and were more like hard pan dirt.

Areas Best Value

I consider Heritage Isles Golf and Country Club my home course. Started at 8:00 am and was cart path only because of 2 inches of overnight rain. Course was still playable with tee boxes and green in pretty good shape and even though fairways and bunkers had some water you could find dryer areas to place the ball to hit. Finished in 3-1/2 hours and they have water coolers every 3 to 4 holes to keep hydrated.

Right Before the Storm

We’ve played Heritage Isle several times over the past year, and the course has consistently been in good condition. During this round, we were paired with another twosome and had a great time overall. The weather and heat index were extremely high, and we didn’t see many groups behind us, so we were never really being pushed from the rear.

The main issue was the twosome in front of us, who were consistently hitting three or four balls off the tee. That slowed the pace and created some frustration.

The sign on Hole 1 says, “Play Good, Play Fast, Play Poorly, Play Faster.” While I understand the intent, there is nothing worse than starting a round with the feeling that you’re being rushed through the course. I’m not sure whether this was due to poor group spacing by the starter or an effort to push as many golfers through as possible, but better pace-of-play oversight and course management would make that sign unnecessary.

Overall, Heritage Isle is a nice course in good condition, but the pace-of-play management could be improved. We only missed playing out the 18th hole due to the rain.

Poor customer service

I was advised by the ranger that I had to share my cart with the person they were pairing me with. I asked if I could just pay for a “rider” even though it was just me and was told yes…When I protested at the pro shop about being forced to share a cart with a stranger, the manager decided the best approach was to condescendingly (instead of calmly explaining their rationale) tell me that’s how it is everywhere and he has had to do it at other clubs. If this is the case, I may have just been lucky for the last 4 years to not be forced to share a cart with a stranger….the kid at the register ended up not charging me, at least he was kind. I will not be returning nor recommending. FYI there was a gentleman 3 groups ahead of me, that I caught up to that was in a cart by himself…makes me wonder if my ethnicity had anything to do with this rule. Thanks for being welcoming to all kinds of people!

Course is always at the top of my list but this time we were misled by the pro shop attendant who told me that I'd only paid for nine holes since the back nine was undergoing aerating. Believing I'd made the mistake we stopped after nine and left, only to check my booking at home to see that I had booked and paid for 18 holes for 2 golfers according to my Golfpass receipt. Never trust them again.
