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.

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.

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.
