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.

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 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.

Hertiage Palms

Rode the Golds (6698/72.1/128) in 3.5H super twilight for $25 which included range balls on the all grass range. Clear, breezy and around 105 was why I practically had the course to myself. Heritage Palms is a semi-private course that is surrounded by nice homes and condos in a gated community. Arthur Hills design that opened in 1996, I like the layout. Mostly open with only a few tight shots with several lakes that come prominently in play on a few holes. Enough sand, trees and native areas to get your attention without beating you up with them. From tee to green, the playing conditions were near immaculate. However, the greens did not match the rest of the course. The tees were immaculate, level and lush with hardly a divot anywhere. Same for the fairways and rough. Both were thick and lush with few divots and great coverage throughout. The traps were nicely maintained. Fine white sand that was thick around the greens. The fairway traps were a little more firm, and I was in one waste bunker that was very firm. The greens were disappointing compared to the rest of the course. Firm, a little bumpy and medium speed. Many of the greens had obviously been at least partially aerated within the last 3-4 weeks. They looked like they were still 7-10 days from being in top shape again. The customer service was a plus. Beautiful, massive clubhouse. Nice practice range that included a chipping area over by the tennis courts. The course would not be very walkable because of the heat and the fact that numerous tees are a long way from the last green. Middle tier course for the greater Palms Spring area, but with that said... this is a nice layout that would be good for players of all skill levels and is in very good condition. Recommended.
