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 overall conditions

Pace of play slightly slow but could be attributed to 90 degree cart path only

CPO - CART PATH ONLY / NO BUFFET

This course is awesome!! The conditions are some of the best in my opinion in the desert area. We can accept that it was cart path only but as soon as we went to check in, the guy in the pro shop was already bothered by us and all others in line because he said "Golf Now" had messed up on the price to play and instead of only paying $65.00 ,,, It should have been $165.00... so he was very rude, short and did nothing to make us feel welcomed. The buffet was taken away from us unless if we wished to pay an additional $25.00.... We took it as it was and just agreed to pay the $65.00 because the course was looking INCREDIBE!! We were not worried about the buffet as much...... We still had a great day, and like i already said and I cannot emphasize this enough, the course was in the best shape i have ever seen it in!! $65.00 is a steal!!!

Great course, great people

Course was in excellent condition given this was the second day it was open. Greens were a little slow. Still waiting ti hear back from GolfNow as the course charged me $65 more than the price I was quoted by GolfNow.

A great value!

This is a semi-private course. I played it the second day it opened for the season. It was cart path only as the grass needed to grow in but the course was impeccable. It's not the world's most challenging course but it was not necessarily easy either. The staff were all excellent. I was charged a very low rate. I am thinking it was a mistake as I have paid double the rate to play less worthy courses in the Coachella Valley.

Great shape but bait & switch on grub

One of our favorite valley courses, usually in excellent shape. Played a day or two after reseeding so cart-path only, but didn't mind with great conditions. Only complaint is the bait and switch on brunch. We booked it partly based on advertisement of free breakfast included. But on check-in, were told that was a mistake and they wouldn't honor it even when it was included in both our GolfNow booking and the receipt from the course. So had to leave course to find coffee, breakfast and snacks. Rather irritating.

Great course

We find it one of the best in the desert. Memorable holes. Semi private, so public play only on Sunday. Golf early and a full free breakfast in the clubhouse is available up until 1 pm. Staff goes out of their way to assist. When we were putting out on 18, a staff member walked to our cart and cleaned all our clubs. I noticed he stayed there for the group behind us to do the same thing as well. Over the top friendliness.

AWESOME EXPEREINCE

This course is beautiful from nice tee boxes, to the wide open green fairways all the way to the perfect greens. The bunkers are in great shape with real sand and overall the course is top notch in my opinion. If you can secure a round on a Sunday where the buffet / lunch is included... you will not be disappointed! It was a classy high end breakfast buffet with an omelet bar, pancakes, bacon, sausage, oatmeal & fruit. It was an incredible spread to finish off an awesome round of golf! Plenty of water stations on the course and the staff was very friendly and helpful!! THIS IS A MUST PLAY AND EAT!! You 'll love it!!
