Course Highlights
Heritage Palms consistently delivers exceptional conditions with fast, true greens and well-manicured fairways that rival top desert courses. The straightforward layout, friendly staff, and outstanding value make this a course worth adding to any regular rotation.

About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 72
Length 6698 yards
Slope 128
Rating 72.1

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.

The course was in great shape for summer even after aerification. The man behind the counter was super welcoming and friendly. Much better than the older assistant pro who was always cold.

Conditions not as good as usual

Greens were very slow. Fairways were only ok. Bunkers could use more sand. I like the course, but the conditions were not nearly as good as the previous times I have played it in the summer.

Going semi-private, no gate access, good course though

Going semi-private, no gate access, good course though. The course is in a private development with no public access so I had to wait til someone left to hurry thru the front gate. Noone answered the phone after 5 tries going straight to voicemail. Checked in hour early, chipped, putted, range opened, noone on the whole course and had to wait for actual tee time. Great conditions from tee to green. I believe they punched about two & half weeks before I played and they were fine. Overall pretty generous room off the tee leading into more targeted approach shots and protected greens. Really tough back nine finish. Awesome views, good variety of hole designs. Highly recommend.

Total golf

Everything is always great here. Tee times and course layout. Great pricing. Friendly people. So glad they opened it back up during the week to the public. At least for the summer, which is when I play.

Used to be a huge fan of course

When booking tee time, there was no alert as to course conditions. Airification on greens with heavy sand, fairways were just punched with huge dirt clogs everywhere, but very disappointed with staff professionalism in pro shop on this day. I’ve been playing this course for years and I have no desire to return with the direction of this course.

Over charge

Charged me convenience fee that’s waived on my GolfNow. Carts not ready. No ice or waters in the DESERT. Not the Heritage Palms standard!
