Heritage Palms Golf Club
About
The mountains are close enough to touch at this Arthur Hills design. Heritage Palms measures 6,698 yards from the back tees.
Four lakes are featured on the course, which is very green for a desert design. Hills contrast the fairways against the mountains and the desert in the distance, but this is very much a resort type course.
The par 3s are particularly inventive. This isn't one of Hills' tougher courses. It offers average hackers the chance to have a largely anxiety-free round. As long as they don't get too carried away with club selection.
There are a number of dogleg holes that force you to think before firing away. Just hitting as far as you can is an easy path to trouble. It's the shot after the shot you're hitting that must be thought of.

Nice Course, But Not one of the Best in the Valley (per its rating)
Played this in the height of the heat. As others have said, they keep it in nice shape and everything is fine in terms of playing conditions, But since this comes up as one of the top-rated courses in the valley (based on conditions) I just want to make the point that this is just a very ordinary valley course, like dozens of others I've played over the years. So if you are just coming into the valley for the first time on a golfing holiday and want a quintessential golfing experience, this is not it.
You should go play the PGA's or the La Quinta courses (Pete Dye et.al.) first. They represent more classic, and challenging golf. This course is long enough, but not much jeopardy.. A 5 inch break on the greens would be a lot. Not many traps or water in dangerous places. There were just a couple holes that felt distinctive. The rough is not a deterrent. So, yes, come play here if you've played all those tourist magnet courses, and just want a smooth, fast 18. Otherwise try out the famous courses first.
1st time player, wonderful golf experience!
I'll definitely play here again after a wonderful introduction to Heritage Palms! I would, if I could, give every category 4.5 Stars, by no means a knock on the course. The course was fantastic! As were the facilities and the staff, I would give this 6 Stars tee being a great value!
Great value for an excellent golf course!
I want to play here again and again! Course condition was excellent, every category earned at least 4.5 Stars from me for a sum total of 5 Stars. For the price, it's the best course in Southern California. Sure, it's not PGA West or Classic Club, but it also costs less than half of those greens fees. I played the Whites with the rest of the group, next time I'll play Blues and it'll be a much sterner test. Course Staff was friendly and extra helpful, much appreciated. I'll be looking for this course deal every week!
Great layout
Good pace of play and we love the layout and aesthetics.
Immaculate!
The course was in outstanding condition. Immaculate.
Practice facility is flawless. Highly recommend.
Heritage Palms. Outstanding course.
Played this for the first….of several more times I hope. This is superb value. From the parking lot to the checkin to the wonderful restaurant and bar. Really, it hits on all cylinders and the course was in exceptional condition. As Arnold said “I’ll be back”!!
Thx for a great round and a memorable 4 hours.
Pace
A group decided to stop for lunch at the turn. When they came back to the course they did not go to where they should have been playing, but, just jumped in. This backed up the remaining 10 players. I called the clubhouse and spoke to Moises who said he would go talk to them. He never did and this foursome continued in the wrong spot,
Slowing the pace of play when it was over 100 degrees outside. The course staff should have intervened.
Great conditions, great course, fun to play
Everything was in top condition greens,fairways, tee boxes, etc. Pace of play 4 hours not rushed.Challenging but very fair. Fun to play.
