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.

Perfect greens.

This was a beautiful course with generous fairways, nice water features and a well-planned layout. Greens were just coming out of overseeding, but rolled very true and not at all slow. I woul definitely play this course again. A good value for the area.

Reimbursement

We got to the course and were informed we would be reimbursed for our due to the fact that 9 holes were closed. The course was excellent though for what we got I will be back to see the back nine soon.

Greens were extremely fast. Nice.

It was a shotgun start. The gentleman behind the counter was very cordial. We were not on the tee sheet. He had to look us up on GolfNow info. A small hassle, but handled professionally. We were called to our hole on time. It was a windy day in the valley, but really enjoyed the course and the day. The course was in great shape. Hope to play the course again.

The Greens, The Greens, The Greens

Absolutely pristine conditioning on the entire course. I've played this course numerous times in the past. Never seen it in better shape. The greens were as good as any in the valley! Perfect is the only way to describe them. Our group had nine birdies yesterday.
The fairways were great and the flowers and landscaping was just outstanding. We all commented on how enjoyable the pace of play was and how great the entire course was presented.

Beautiful course; great value

Heritage Palms is in excellent condition and provides a fair challenge to golfers of all levels. Driving areas are fairly wide, but the greens are typically raised and surrounded by traps. I played in a shotgun event and the pace of play was surprisingly good. The format gave me an opportunity to meet some nice folks from Canada and Texas. Of the 6 courses I've played thus far in the Palm Springs area (including TPC Stadium and La Quinta Resort Mountain course) I would rate Heritage Palms as the best value and course I would want to play again.

Great shape for this time of year

Very helpful staff and course was in great condition. Only problem I noticed was very few course distance markers. Since I didn't have have my gps I was always hunting for yardage markers and not finding many.

Overall, very nice layout and in great shape.

fun layout for a retirement resort course.

Played our round in 3 hours! Great layout with challenging approach shots and fair landing zones off the tee boxes. Through a housing tract but still maintains a resort feel.

The course is maintained and in good condition.

I played in less than 3 hours. Although, the temp was 105' I moved at a very fast pace. The fairways were maintained. The greens had been punched and sanded so putting was not great. Still for the money I had fun , the course was empty, got to work on my game and only lost one ball.

After reading the hype, disappointed

The welcome was a little off handed and had to wait a long time for a cart. The faiirways were in reasonable shape for the most part but the greens were bumpy and a little burnt. I am sure in the less heat season it would be good. I think the layout is mediocre and there are better value courses within minutes. A shame as I was looking forward to this track, maybe skip it till a shoulder season visit.

One of the very BEST Palm Desert courses !

I had never played Heritage Palms before, am very glad I did ! The course is in AMAZING shape, and the staff is SUPER friendly. They have a 'combo' set of tees, perfect for a mid handicapper. They do not list discount tee times on Golf Now often, when they do I suggest you snap them up !

A Great Day At Heritage Palms

Nancy, one of the professionals, was delightful in welcoming us. The fairways and greens were in superb condition. Few divots in the fairway and the greens were running at a true 10, a joy to play somewhere you don't have to bang your putter. The temperature was 102 which made for a perfect golf day.
