Heritage Oaks Golf Course
About
Nestled in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley, Heritage Oaks Golf Course sprawls across a diverse terrain that provides the course with plenty of variety. The par-70 layout has both links-style holes and more traditional, tree-lined holes. The front nine is more player friendly. There are some good opportunities to build up your score before facing the tougher back nine. It's a tighter layout with more trees, demanding accuracy and careful course management. A stream meanders through the golf course, connecting to the ponds that also come into play, especially on the back nine. There are also several strategically placed bunkers that lurk along the greensides. The golf course has some challenging holes but it's player friendly enough for beginners to approach with confidence. Four sets of tees make Heritage Oaks G.C. accessible to players of all skill levels.

Great weather for a fun round!
This was my first time playing Heritage Oaks, and I had a great time. I was playing with some college friends, and we had a bit of a mix up with how many people were going to be in our group. We only paid for 3, but we had to add a 4th once we got there. Golfnow had put a single with our group of 3 (as we had booked using the app), but he went off with another group and so our foursome was able to go off together. The girl at the front desk was very helpful in handling that tricky situation. The pace of play was pretty good; it was what was to be expected on a beautiful 70 degree day in December. The foursome ahead of us probably finished in just over 4 hours, and so did we. At one point, however, we had one of the female marshalls tell us to keep up with the group ahead of us...I was a bit surprised with this since we had to wait on virtually every tee shot, and were playing at a sub-4 hour pace. We mentioned this to her, and kept playing at the same pace. There was a 2-some behind us, and they were catching up to us, but really that was just the luck of the draw. There was nowhere for them to go. There were groups pretty much all the way in. Otherwise, some course knowledge is helpful as the driver is not always necessary on some holes. My friends had played the course before, and so they knew the lines to take on some of the blind tee shots. Signs along the course would also be helpful since some of the holes are not near each other at all. The course winds around, and so it would be helpful for there to be some more signs directing where to go on some of the longer drives between holes. The course was in good shape; the bunkers weren't great, but that's kind of expected at this time of year. The fairways were in really good shape, and the greens were also well kept. They rolled pretty well, and were receptive to well played shots. A lot of the tee boxes were moved up (as is common during the winter to preserve the grass), and so the course was not overly long. We played from the gold tees, and the card said they measured in at about 5900 yards, but it was probably a couple hundred yards short of that with the tees being moved up. It made some of the holes risk-reward, as a well played drive left only a sand wedge into a lot of the par 4s! We had a great afternoon, and next time I am in the Harrisonburg area, I will be sure to play again.
Love this Place
One of the best courses in the state..Greens in very good condition..
Excellent course, but very rude staff.
Course conditions were perfect, but the pro shop staff treated us rudely for no reason.
Great course, great weathe.
I was on vacation when I booked this course thru GolfNow and the course was great and the weather was great. I'll definitely come back when ever I book this resort again.
Excellent Municipal Course
Knowledge of this course is very helpful. Many dog-legs both left and right. Shot placement and distance is also important. The free course guide or GPS is highly recommended. I love courses such as this one because you don't just pull the driver and let it rip. Holes have ample width. Golf cart paths are in excellent condition but weave around the course without too many signs. There are many water coolers located on this course but only 1 portable toilet located between 13 and 14. The greens are in fairly good ccondition. The sprinkler system is un-manned so just be careful. I will play this course again when I am in the area.
Best round ever
I can not say anything bad about this course. I enjoyed it and shot the best game of my life. Tees, fairway and greens where well kept and had just enough challenges. Would recommend this course to anyone.
very nice course
For a public course it was in great shape, my daughter was playing in a high school regional tournament the next day so we played as a practice round. People there was super nice. I will play there again for sure.
Pretty nice for a municipally run course
Only problem was that the back 9 was closed for aeration. I feel that we should have been notified of that fact before arriving at the course.
this course is worth the time to play
I have played this course many times and its getting better each time. Its a good course for scoring
Great course
I love Heritage Oaks and choose to only play here. I've played most of the surrounding courses and honestly you can't get a better deal than here. Some days there are deals on golf now for $19 for a cart and 18... Phenomenal price. The course is in perfect condition, and staff are so nice and accommodating, unlike quite a few judgemental old guys I've seen at other courses. The front nine is mostly open, so you have some forgiveness to begin the round, and the back nine gets more challenging. I love the course and will only play here in the future. I'm a decent golfer and still find it pretty challenging, and I'd recommend this course to people of any skill level.
Great and a must play
This course was in perfect condition. fairways and greens super. Also the tee boxes. It was wet and so it was cart path only. The only drawback were the greens were a bit slow but thats because they had no chance to cut them due to the rain. If you get the chance play this muni and it was only $29 on the VSGA card and that was on a Sunday morning! Great course.
Excellent.
Greens, fairways, and tee boxes were in impeccable shape. I played in the rain and the greens maintained speed, no build up of water puddles. I can't wait to play it on a sunny day. A must play course. Enjoy
beautiful course surrounded by mountains
Never previously played this course, and glad I chose to. Staff is top notch.
Good Course/Great Value
I almost always play the course, at least once, when on vacation at the nearby Massanutten Resort. Hertitage Oaks is a fine golf facility that won't beat you up, even if you're a little rusty. It's reasonably priced and I got an even better deal from Golf Now. I'll be back, God willing.
This course is absolutely beautiful..
I had not played it since it opened in 2001 and I'm sorry I hadn't. Beautiful, well manicured course and the staff was very friendly. Tha pace of play was good and will not hesitate to make the 50 mile drive again soon.
Nice Course
The course was very nice and well maintained. The course was a little short though. I played from the black tees, which I don't normally due. I recommend the course and I will play there again.
Great course
The two of us played with our grandson. We found the course in great shape. it was manicured and very pretty. Staff was very courteous and pleasant. Marshal allowed us to play through when the pllay slowed.
Heritage oaks
Great course for the cost. I always enjoy playing here, course conditions are great and the staff couldn't be friendlier. I'll be returning throughout the season.
