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.

Never knew what i was missing!

I have lived in the desert for over 25 years and i think i can brag that i have played all but 1 or 2 of the super private country clubs out of the over 120 plus golf courses in the Coachella valley, yet I never played Heritage Palms until this past Saturday.- I had heard they had some of the fastest and well kept greens in the desert and that the course had always been listed among the top 5 courses as far as course maintenance - yet i never had the opportunity to play it. I am here to tell you that was an oversight you should not make. The course was in pristine condition, the staff was welcoming , the greens were as advertised and the combination of course architecture and rare elevation changes make this a must when you get to the desert. the price in the summer was amazing at 39.00 and aI liked it so much I booked it for our usual Sunday foursome the following Sunday.

Great course layout many tee boxes to choose from will challenge the low and high handicapper - pristine golf course conditions and perfect greens - now one of my favorites in the Desert !

Best $8 round of my life

Excellent course condition. Please take into account that it's been 110 degrees for most of the summer so far. That's not counting the 120+ degree days. Greens were in very good shape. Fairways were 90% green at least. Courses in our area have been working with mandated water restrictions all year. The Superintendent does a tremendous job.

The course is not going to beat you up. The pace of play is good. Playing Heritage Palms does require a player to think about where to hit the shot to give themselves the best chance for scoring. Mid to higher handicaps will probably enjoy the course more than solid single digits (who might find it a little easy).

Great Value

Played in the middle of the day on a Saturday. Basically had the course to myself. Staff was friendly and had a great mix of holes. Still pretty wide open despite some hazards, houses, etc so it was great opening round before playing tougher courses in the area.

Nice course

This was the first time I had played the course and all of the reviews I had read said it was enough of a challenge but fair, especially for intermediate golfers like me. That was exactly what I found and I will play again here for sure. My only criticism of the course is that the greens were not at their best after some maintenance but they were still pretty true and I have certainly played on a lot worse. I look forward to playing here when the greens are better.

Beautiful Course but greens still not recovered

Second time I've played Heritage Palms, and I would definitely play more times if GolfNow would give us this kind of rate ($22)! I find the staff here to be exemplary and eager to help whenever asked. The layout is very nice with some short par 4's that are not that easy, but interesting. My only complaint was that the greens after being punched (with large holes) over 2 weeks ago are still not recovered and they did not roll smoothly. The rest of the course was in great condition. Nice thick sand in the bunkers... something that is not a given in the desert! I would definitely play here again. C'mon GolfNow, give us these kind of rates in the winter too!

Heritage Palms is a great course for the intermediate golfer, challenging but not too hard. This course is also immaculately maintained. Favorite course in the valley.

A challenging test but not Ridiculously tough.

Course was in great shape although the greens had been

aireated.

Good for everyone

This is a nice course for all ages and skill levels. It also is a good warm up course if you're a little rusty. There's very little trouble with nice broad fairways and only a few water hazards. It has more of an old school feel than the newer resort courses, but it's in as good condition as any of the resort courses I've played in the Palm Springs area.

Bombs away!

Wow! Wide open fairways make it nearly impossible to go out of bounds. (That is, as long as you can land a shot within fifty yards one way or the other of your aiming point). Bomber friendly fairway width and great conditions make this place a super fun place to play!
