Heritage Palms Golf Club
About
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.

Awesome condition
Very nice course, wide fairways, but rough long enough to be dicey. Greens and areas around are outstanding.
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.
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.
Great greens and practice facilities
Great course, staff and practice facilities !!!
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.
Heritage Palms
Great set up tee boxes. Greens very fast but great shape. Challenging holes for all golfers.
Fabulous!
Course conditions were amazing! Still a couple weeks away from scalping and overseeding. Very enjoyable round!
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.
Heritage Palms
we have been staying in Indio and played 7 different courses, this was our groups favorite. in great condition, wide fairways with some run, greens where great, speed of play was good, weather was perfect. lunch afterward just topped the day.
Excellent condition and layout.
Played with 3 locals in a shotgun start. Never had to wait and no one waited behind. Course played very fair.
Awesome
Superintendent does a great job! Pro Staff was very polite. Greens are right up there with the big money clubs around the desert. Fun course. Pace of play is under 4 hours.
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.
Don't miss out!
I played this course because of the reviews. Great layout, fun and challenging. Greens rolled at a 12 and were smooth and true. Go play, you'll be glad you did!
Heritage Palms
We played at 1:00. Worried it would be too hot but lots of shade and shade is well placed at the tee boxes. We played in under three hours
Excellent Condition Very Nice Course
We have played this course for years and always enjoy our time there. Course is in excellent condition and the greens are always fast and true. Staff is very friendly and helpful.
Heritage Palms
Good course. Pretty scenery. Greens very fast. Took some time to adjust.
One of my very favorite courses
Love it! One of the best courses in the valley! Great staff and an awesome brunch on Sundays!
Great course
Course was in great shape . Was a little pushed because it was a shotgun start and we had two groups starting on our tee box ,but was okay in all .Greens are lighting fast . Will play it again when we can find it at a good price .
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.
