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 track with true fast greens

Well worth the visit. Putting was a real challenge on these fast greens. Went for a shot gun start and it was like we had the course to ourselves. Fastest 18 I've played in a long time. Great staff too.

Course is in great shape!

We were recommended to play this course because of the greens. We heard they were perfect and they were. The entire course from range to greens was perfect. This course is exactly what you are looking for if you don't want to pay a lot, want great conditions and and overall not to difficult and relaxing round.

Great track, even better condition!

What a find this place was! Two practice putting greens, a chipping area, big range with LUSH GRASS and new balls. Staff super friendly. The course was in tournament shape, I never saw a divot in the fairway. The greens the day I played were posted at 12 on the Stimp and rolled every bit as good as those at Bighorn, if not better. A really fun Arthur Hills course that lets you hit the ball off the tee though not overly long. The par 3's are excellent. A nice patio overlooking the course for a couple of cold ones as the sun sank over the San Jacintos with some very nice playing partners made for a perfect day. I might join the place, its that good.

Will play again.

Course was in great condition, greens super fast. Only complaint is pace of play. It appears they put too many groups out in shotgun start so it is difficult to finish before dark.

This is a great golf experience

This golf course is great in every way as a golfing experience.
Top notch condition, challenging, fast greens, 18 holes without
boring repetitiveness and pleasant to play, not to mention the
views of the mountains and spaciousness of the fairways. A
real bargain for lovers of the game.

limited tee times for non members, but worth it if you can get on

Greens were at 11.5 and rolled true.
Not a long course, but always in good shape (tips were at 6700 yds.)
Bring your own GPS or range finder.

Wonderful shape, beautiful layout, and great pace of play.

I played the back tees. The greens were running at 14.5. I'm not a long hitter so I took on a bit of a challenge. The course was in great shape, except for the shorter par fours, which were a little pockmarked. All said and done, a great course and a lot of fun.

PS" Golf Now, fix your website. Your "click and move" rating bars don''t work. They either go to either extreme or the middle. I was forced to say this course is extremely challenging when, in fact, it's not.

I played due to good greens

I have always known this place to have good greens. So, I went out expecting what I got. Great deal and a good track. I have never played here when greens were slow or not smooth. Good track not top of the line like the real expensive places. But, for your money I don't know if you get a better deal

Good resort-style golf. Not too busy.

While not the most difficult of courses, this was a good resort-style golf course. Greens and fairways were in excellent condition. While the fairways were nice and green, they still had the expected additional summer roll. (Nice to get that extra 10-15 yards in the summer.) Greens held approach shots well. The best part of this round was that the pace of play was as quick as I desired to go. Finished 18 holes on a hot summer afternoon in less than 2 1/2 hours! (And still broke 80!)
