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.

Too bad

The course was in absolutely outstanding condition but as a semi-private club I was shocked at how unfriendly the members were. Only a very small percentage responded or acknowledged me when I waved or said "Hello". If they don't appreciate the revenue from outside play then they should buck up and increase their dues enough to go fully private. Other clubs in the area with similar operations have much friendlier members. Too bad as the course was worth playing again but I won't go back.

Some of us want to go private. Heritage Palms has many wonderful homeowners here and is a great place to live and golf-I am sorry you did not encounter any of them.

Too slow pace of play

I golfed in a threesome and our tee time was for 12:07. We teed off just before 12 which was great. However, by the fourth hole, things started jamming up. It took us 30 minutes to golf #6. By this time the Course Marshall caught up to us and indicated that the entire course is plugged. So he offered to take us back to #1 again and restart, which we did.

We never did catch up to the congestion, which suggests the entire course was not indeed plugged!

Long story short, it was NOT a favourable experience for the reasons mentioned.

Also, the confirmation on GolfNow stated it would be a shot gun start, which it was not! We advised the starter of this and he said they never have a shot gun on Saturdays. So here is the notification to Golf now to get your facts straight!

As a 72 year old fit golfer, riding alone in a cart, with golf cart paths only, it was a round I would not do again. When I booked as a single in a shot gun format, I was of the opinion that I would be riding tandem which would have not quite been the same amount of walking.

Unbeatable For The Price!

This course is practically unbeatable for the price! I booked thru golfnow and got a killer deal. The ONLY thing that kinda bugged me (at first) was that nowhere did it say "shotgun start"... So when I got there, there were like 50+ people out on the range. It worked out though, I played with two local members and we started on the hole #1. I had a very positive experience here.

This course, for the time of year is in great shape! I mean green, lush and healthy. My only complaint was that the greens were very hard. They didn't hold a whole lot, so the short shots were tough. But being that we just had a really hot summer, its to be expected really.

The course design here is fun. Some fairways require a precise line otherwise you roll down into some pretty deep grassy valleys on either or one side. Its a fun course. Good risk reward situations. I will definitely be coming back next year.

Fun course

The course was in excellent condition. The only negative the trees were being trimmed and the 11th hole was unplayable with workers and equipment all around the green and blocking the cart path. However I will play this course again minus the tree trimmers.

Excellent shape

Considering the time of year in the Palm Springs area, 100' plus, the course was in fantastic shape. If the course is in this shape this time of year I can only imagine what kind of shape it is in December-March? Will be going back again soon.

course set up top ten

I'm coming back. Everything from cart people to bar tender was perfect. The pro shop had a very nice collection of items. The staff were knowledgeable and listen to questions. Last, the course was great, set up of course was great and traps were top ten with good sand. I'm a single digit, this was fun and a top ten day.
