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.

Heritage Palms Golf Course

Heritage Palms is a fabulous course with beautiful vistas and exceptionally pretty holes. If I was a golf course designer, my course would look like Heritage Palms. The course was so green, fairways were great, the greens rolled true and were challenging. The bunkers were even excellent and well maintained. The pace of play was excellent at 4 hours and I am looking forward to playing Heritage Palms again. Any golfer would love this course!

Desert Golf in Indio

This course is a great value for the money. It is always very well-maintained, year-round. There are easy holes and there are difficult holes. It is run by a polite and efficient staff. The grille food is very delicious and well-priced. The course is set in a very beautifully scenic area just south of the San Gorgonio mountains, about 25 minutes east of Palm Springs. The Arthur Hills designed course is a par 72 with a slope from the white tees of 118.

Golf with friends

We played a late morning round today. Second time I have played this course and really enjoyed the round. Course is in great shape and we were able to get on the fairways with carts. Greens were much faster today , probably 10 to 11 which was great. Fairways, t boxed, everything in great shape.

The front nine was a bit slow but picked up in the back. Finished at about 4 hours and 10.

Staff were excellent again. Restaurant was not open so unable to comment.

Nice greens and just a little bit of water!

Heritage Palms is a pearl in the desert. Great views abound and with wide, generous fairways and well kept putting surfaces it’s oh so fun to play! There are some rolling hills, hidden aprons, and elevated greens to provide a challenge but water and desert penalty areas are kept to a minimum. I wish it was my home course.

Immaculate

This course is maintained to the highest standards. Nice layout, challenging, but not over the top, beautiful appearance, homes along fairways, but mostly not in play. I'd play again in a heartbeat.

Outstanding Service - Value for money

They greet you at your car and give you a rundown on the practice area, clubhouse, etc. Practice area for chipping and putting first class. Had to hit off mats for driving range so not so great.

Course was in great shape. Greens a bit slow but true. Bunkers well manicured , t boxes good shape. Cart path only but for warned of that when purchasing.

Breakfast and service overall was outstanding. Staff very attentive, great value for money.

First timers, and we will be back.

We had heard good things about this golf course, and finally tried it. The course is beautiful and challenging. We did play early in the season and had to stay on the cart paths, but still had a great time. Can’t wait to play it again.

Not informed

After paying our greens fees we were informed the course was cartpath only!! I feel the players should be informed before ever booking. I am 72 and walking the extra distances and often having the wrong club makes for a less enjoyable round. We would have gone someplace else, as I expect they are aware. The course was in excellent condition, however, so hard to give too bad a review.

Nice, not demanding resort course

Nice resort golf course, at this time (overseeding) the conditions were not at its best. We started morning round on a cannon start, pace of play was great, greens were not very fast but still in good condition (comparing to fairways). Some holes have fairly narrow fairways.

EXCEPTIONAL COURSE

i played on a day that it was 114. and at noon (what locals do). i parked the car. barely get out, when Jessie appears, loads up my bag and takes me to the pro shop. the pro shop guy is polite too. the course is always in Excellent shape, even in summer. they are using the old putting green as the new chipping green, and adding a new putting green besides it (smart move). the course was fun. challenging and in great shape. i want to try the brunch amd golf special. as someone indicated on here. the staff and course gets 2 thumbs up!!
