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.

Greens are Terrible

Everything was nice at the course before we teed off. Staff were great, practice/warm up facilities were excellent. Loved the course...layout was good and very playable for all skill levels. The greens we just plain bad...lots of bare spots...they look good because they sand them and spray them green, but they are bumpy and impossible to play. I don't mind that so much, but I can't understand why the course and Golf Now cant disclose that fact before you book. 2 stars for the course and 1 star for Golf Now :(

Every green was bad. Not sure what this issue is, but I recommend you call the course to check the conditions before you book. Not worth even a discounted rate when there are so many nice courses in the area.

Had a great first round here. Staff was beyond nice. Nice layout. Course was in great condition other than the greens which were very bumpy and patchy. Had a good time and would come back, but would call first to make sure greens are ok

A Perfect Golf Day in March 2020

We arrived 45 minutes prior to our t time. We were warmly received by the pro shop and our bags were hustled off to our cart. 25 minute warm up on the range and some putting on immaculate putting Practice green. Had a great round as the course was in perfect conditions despite the previous days heavy rain.

Great course, and even better staff and members.

I played here on the annual Marine Day, they hosted about 50 active duty servicemen. They treated us all like kings. Very kind men and women that played or volunteered throughout the course. The course was immaculate! Best course I have ever played!

Best Dessert round yet

I was nervous this round wouldn’t be as nice as others I’ve played because of how affordable it was. But this was one of the top 3 rounds of golf I’ve played in the Coachella Valley regardless of price. Can’t wait to play it again!

Great Course

This course and the golf staff are great! The bar and restaurant staff are another story. Our waiter was friendly but much of the other bar and restaurant staff was not. Overall we go for golf and it’s great.

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.
