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.

Great time!

Got a "hot deal" at Heritage Palms. Course was in immaculate condition, considering it's the end of August. Although it was a little warm (104), it was dry and the breeze kept it pleasant. Staff very friendly; played in 2.5 hours. Highly recommend this course for a fun day with beautiful conditions

As good as it gets

What a fantastic experience. Great course, very good condition considering it was 108 degrees. Very friendly staff in pro shop and restaurant. We literally had the course to ourselves and played in an unhurried 2 hours 30 min. Heritage Palms will be my GO TO Palm Springs area course from now on. I hope I can get on in the winter.

Great Value

Took a friend to play the course for the first time. He loved it. Excellent course condition! This time of year in the desert can be problematic in terms of greens and fairways. No such problems at Heritage Palms. Superintendent deserves a raise!!

Keep up the good work. Definitely playing again in the coming weeks.

Great Find

Fairly wide open and greens relatively undefended but a great course to play. My wife is a 12 handicapper and she shot one of her lowest rounds ever but it still has its challenges in terms of water etc. Have to say that the condition of the course both fairways and greens was excellent. Possibly the best out of 8 or 9 courses we have played in the valley in the last 2 weeks!

Professionalism

The staff in the pro shop continually treat GolfNow members as second class citizens. The course is wide open and if you are 20 min early, they make you wait until your tee time even when no one is on the course. This is consistent in summer and fall. The older assistant pro has no people skills. You are never treated with a friendly smile. No such thing as accommodation.

Course is a great track.

Hidden Gem... play it if you get the chance

Being a local we always appreciate the summer when rates go down. Heritage is usually private but becomes semi private in the summer. Great course with wide open fairways but plenty of water to make it challenging. Pace of play is usually great but the day I played we were sandwiched between residents playing a tournament so play was a tad slower than usual but tolerable. Fairways are lush green in the middle of summer. Greens were aerated two weeks before and almost healed now. Play this if you can... keep eye on internet sites for deals.

Perfect Golf

I was lucky to choose this course as they played a shotgun start and I was paired with 3 members. They couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. I joined in their small group competition and was chauffeured around by Bill who was a truly great guy. The course was absolutely pristine and a joy to play. Whilst not overly difficult there was sufficient trouble to catch your attention. I will definitely play this course every time we come back as it was to me what golf is all about. Rate it highly.
