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.

Nice people.

My wife and I were paired with a member and his buddy. We try to play it every year. Good variety. The tough par threes may explain the 4 1/2 hours to play. Tough greens and could be smoother. A nice track and fun to play.

Nice day of golf

We played on a Sunday when the brunch buffet was offered prior to play. The food was delicious and plenty of it. The course was lush and green, beautifully kept. The rough was not terribly punitive which helped pace of play. The greens were in excellent conditon and running very fast, but once you adjusted to them, they were fair. Nothing "tricked up", no drama, just "what you see is what you get" golf. I would recommend Heritage Palms anytime!

After the rainstorm

Played in the afternoon shotgun. Half an hour late starting because of rain the previous evening. There was still some casual water from rainstorm. Other than that course was well kept.Speed of greens was excellent. Played in 4 hours 12 minutes, so there e was no problem completing round. Overall enjoyable round. Long travels between some holes bye adequately signed.

A must play!

From arrival to the end of our round the staff were excellent and informative. As non members we were given an escort to ours starting hole. The course is in fantastic shape and the greens fast. Amazingly their are no brown patches to be seen anywhere. The maintenance staff does a great job laying out the course for carts and keeping it in top shape. It's open enough with houses lining most fairways and large greens. A great day in spite of rare rain.

What's with the greens?

Beautiful facility. Great layout, great views, nice fairways. I am a single digit player. The greens were far too hard, and, as a result, far too fast. Greens were 'Supposedly' 11 on the stemp. I play a ProV1 and couldn't stop a sand wedge. Finding your ball mark was virtually impossible. Turn on the water! I would play it again.

Great Surprise

Honestly , for the price and the area we werent expecting much.We had spent a week paying twice the price .

What a nice surprise. Starting with friendly staff, a decent range and putting green and an opportunity to get out a little early , we were hopeful we might actually get most of the course played.

We got all 18 in on what was obviously a busy day, pace of play was great and the course in great condtion and interesting and challenging .

Great Couse

Fairways are in excellent condition. It is a very wide open course with houses on every hole that never came into play. We had a tee time that was put in while there was a tournament going on so it was a shotgun start. We anticipated slow play but were surprised making an enjoyable round well under four hours.

Hope to play it again if we can get a good rate.

Course Refuses TO Honor Golf Now Tee Time-Surly Staff Member

Upon my arrival to play, the surly unfriendly pro shop attendant told me that he would not honor the GOLFNOW tee time that I had made and was confimed by GOLF NOW. In short, he sent me "packing" with no golf or apologies.

Golfing friends, I urge you to please do take note of this kind of treatment at Heritage Palms Country Club. Pompous, unfriendly, surly, arrogant and unapologetic.

A favorite.

This course is one of our favorites. We play it several times on all of our trips. It is almost our unofficial home/away course. It may not be the most difficult course we play but it is one of the most enjoyable we play. It has some easier holes along with some difficult holes. Plenty of challenge for us and always in top shape.
