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.

First Timer

Great golf course! Reading the greens was probably the most difficult part, a lot of subtile breaks. The greens were also very fast, be careful or you will have a Five footer coming back!

Great Place

This is an outstanding facility. The practice area is first rate. The course is really cool, I played with a member and he helped guide me around the course. Highly recommend this club. There is no beverage cart and no breakfast. I had a sandwich after the round and it was delicious.

Day at Heritage

Course was very wet from the day before rains but in very good shape greens and fairways. They take very good care of it, and one could tell by the 3 holes we ran into 6 to 7 pieces of heavy grass cutting/manicuring and blowing equipment running around as we hit.

Great for most skill levels

Everyone besides the beginner level can enjoy this course. Forgiveness if you miss the right way, but punishing if you miss on an aggressive line. High quality greens really challenge the short game. Hoping to play here every time I'm in the area.

Must play

If you are ever in the Palm Springs area. Heritage Palms is a must play if you want to play a good track that is always in great shape. One of the best maintained courses in the country let alone the Desert. If you play well you can score well. But don’t let it fool you. It plays longer than it looks. The back tees are a real challenge for even the most skilled golfer. Great track, friendly staff that will make your visit a pleasant experience. Nice bar and grill. Sunday golf and brunch package is a good deal.

Top of list of valley courses

Impeccable quality golf course with fast greens, lush fairways and challenging holes with a mix of variety

of no two holes the same and nicely bunkered and

just enough water hazards but not too many as some courses overdo the water to make them too difficult and boring.

Great condition

Heritage club is always in the best condition. Played here 5 times now and always excellent. Pace of play may vary but you will enjoy unless your looking for PGA style course. Course is for the resort player not low single digit player.

Beauty Day for golf

Staff are very good at this club. Despite two shot guns, 0800 and 1230 they were on top of everything.

Course overall in good shape although greens are getting pretty beat up. Not sure if is the number of players going thru or the fact people cannot repair ball marks.

Fairways , rough and t boxes are in very good shape.

The round took a bit longer then previous as over 4 hours but not bad 4 hours 15 minutes.

Immaculate

Played this course 3 times and have been impressed with the absolutely perfect condition. Having played many courses throughout the valley, this stands out by far as the best kept from tee to greens, including thebunkers. Pin placements were a little extreme but the conditions and layout make up for that. .Only issue is pace of play; however, each time was a late tee time so finishing was tough as pace of play was a bit slower than ideal..(4hr 15 is the expected pace). We ran 4hrs 30, not too bad...

Overall, the course is not only immaculate it plays very fair with just the right amount of hazards and trouble to challenge your game with plenty of scoring opportunities. .

Really love this course.
