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.

Excellent course for the money.

This is a fairly forgiving course that is not too long. Great for family play this time of year as there is almost no one on the course. We got around all 18 in about 3 hours -- for a foursome that's pretty good.
Stock up with water as the opportunity to replenish on the course is all but non-existent.
Course is in pretty good condition for the time of year and the greens roll well. Definitely tee it up here again.

Beautiful course

Nice course, slow play for us, we were a twosome and it took 4.5 hours (ughhhhh) The conditions were good, not many bunkers and not much water to worry about, pretty easy course, but nice! Confidence builder!

Play golf in a relaxing atmosphere on perfect rolling fast greens

Great welcome, courteous staff. No rush or hassle if you are ready to play before reserved teetime.
A lot of holes may resemble at first sight, but rest assure, almost each hole has its own characteristics.
There is sufficient variety between the holes, whether relating to the fairway bunkers or the greens.
Greens are challenging as a lot of them ondulate and they are really fast and not bumpy.
Long hitters may have advantage over intermediate players on the wide fairways and there is fortunately real soft sand in the bunkers. It is a very playable course for each handicapper, I believe.
I had no high expectations before my visit, but will for sure come back.

User friendly

This course seems always to be in good shape whenever we play.
The on;y negative is the greens, they are very discolored making them very difficult to read, for the occasional player. Close to the pin 10 ft in not a problem, but long putts are.
No GPS or course map provided.

Shotgun start

We booked online through Golf Now so thought our threesome would have a quiet afternnoon round. We were surprised to find out they use shotgun starts twice a day four days a week. It looks like there are many members that use this format regularly. We ended up being hooked up with a single who was very nice and we finished right around four hours on the course. The course is in very good shape with nice views, greens were super fast and didn't hold.

The fairways are generously wide. The course is in good condition, and the greens held well but were very fast. Generally, it was a treat to play.

Smooth and speedy greens

Really enjoyable course. Has tees for all levels - you can make it as challenging as you want. The greens are some of the best in the area...smooth and speedy every time I have played here. Played a shotgun start and finished in about 4 hours. This is not a "resort" course (i.e., friendly bounces, friendly bunkering etc.) - it is the real deal but not overly penal either.

Nice course, fast greens

Very nice course, generous fairways, doesn't beat you up. However, extremely fast greens. Played in the Tuesday afternoon shotgun, which is open to the public. Well maintained course, good value for the desert.

Lush green track.

This course was very lush and green with little in the way of desert waste areas. It has homes along most fairways but they are back far enough that they are generally not a problem. Greens are very good and roll perfectly. i would go back for sure.

Best greens in the desert

Course was in fantastic condition and the greens rolled like glass. Pace of play as 4th group off was 3.5 hours. Could not have been a better day! The absolute only thing missing is food and beverage cart on the course but the clubhouse resturant is great and awesome weekend brunch

A fun play

The course was in great condition. Unfortunately because of some maintenance we played the back nine twice to get our 18 in. It's a pretty forgiving course,, and the pace of play was very good for this area.

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.
