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.

A great time was had by all

There was a shotgun start which was ok. I played with strangers but we enjoyed each others company and all played about the same. The course was in very good shape but the sandtraps could use more sand,They were somewhat shallow. This is one of my favorite courses and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Great condition

One of the best semi private courses in the area.

Always perfectly maintained and attended to.

Marshaled for pace of play most of the time.

More challenging than it appears....but fair for good shots. Greens are excellent.....bring your putting skills with you. Nice layout, no two holes are the same.

Good value overall. 4 T Boxes and Combo play on card....good variety choices for your game.

Perfection plain and simple

Ily

Put pristine conditions together with a great course layout that can test but not overwhelm any handicap golfer combine that with a freindly caring staff - great membership and you have Heritage palms— I am 30 year desert resident and ha e been lucky enough to have played many of the fine courses in our Coachella Valley - I don’t why but I never had the opportunity to play Heritage palms until this past summer when the rate was very reasonable . The first time I played it I was hooked - I played it 4 straight weeks in a row - I played it for the first time in the “season” and even at the 85 dollar rate I consider it one of the best bargain in the desert - I have always been paired with great members who welcome you with open arms - play it and call in love with immaculate conditions-the Best greens in the valley and conditions that would rival Augusta -play it for sure!

Thanks to the Management and Staff @ HP

My wife and I are not members at Heritage Palms but about 6 times a year we try to get a tee time and play as guests. Each time we continue to be impressed with every aspect of the GC and the Club. Yesterday was no exception and the guest we brought with us felt the same way. Thank-you for making golf at your facilities such a wonderful experience!

Well done!

Great layout & practice facilities

Played within 1 week of opening after reseeding. The only complaint was needing to stay on the cart path, which was clear at booking and fully expected. Greens, fairways were in great shape. The sand (and there is ample) is also great. Driving range, putting and chipping areas are well maintained and the staff was very friendly. I will play this course again, hopefully not in a shotgun so I can get a better feel..

Great and fun course to play

This course has plenty of challenge but still won't punish you for the slightly bad shot. I like the layout and it's always in great condition. If you get the chance play here you won't be disappointed

Great course

This was in the top 3 courses I’ve ever played. Biggest bang for the buck and it was immaculate. 4 tee locations. Grounds crew must have been having a bad day, inconsiderate. If they are the ones responsible for this well kept golf course, then I forgive them. I will play here everyone I’m in the area. Bravo.

Unbelievable Course Conditions for September

If you've played desert golf in the summer or early Autumn, you know that it's quite likely that you'll have to deal with 'iffy' course conditions. Burnt out greens, bare fairways.

Not the case with Heritage Palms. The greens were true, the fairways lush and level. Really impressed that staff greeted our golfers in the parking lot as we were unloading our bags.

Simply put, a quality experience all around with a great Sunday buffet afterwards.

We had a group of 28. We'll be back. Often.

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 !
