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.

Nice Sunday afternoon

The course was in great shape… it was a last minute booking and it is prime season so I can’t say too much about the price… weather was perfect… was put into a 3’some… Mike, Bobbie and Jill… Jill lives on the course… only problem throughout the day was there was no cart girl… that was taken care of by Jill who retrieved some beverages from her house, since this guy also missed the snack shack over by 3… can’t say anything bad about my experience and big thanks to Jill and her friends for making feel comfortable and welcomed

Some Fairways need time to growing grass . Back nine some of the fairways uneven which was old grass didn’t cut and new grass just grown . Compared to last year this time is the worst condition I had played . Give it sometime. The good news is Green are fast .

Great Layout

Course was in excellent condition. There was standing water in some bunkers and fairways due to the recent and rare rain in these neck of the woods. Kudos to the groundskeeping team for making best efforts to get the water pumped out. Buffet breakfast is a really nice touch- omelettes made to order, fresh fruit, pancakes and more. Very friendly staff all around. Practice facilities are top notch, I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Good conditions, excellent value

The course was in excellent condition and is one we'll definitely play again. Our group ranged from 6 index to 24 index and everyone found it playable. The only negative comment is that some of the tees are close to the houses.

Sub-4 hour round on Sunday afternoon 👍

The course is beautiful and very well maintained. It’s a pleasure to play here and it’s nice that the course is available for public play on Sundays. Highly recommend.

Great Experience

The course is in fabulous shape and all Staff members were polite and professional. Range was impeccable and the green fees included brunch (also solid). Happy to give this place my money.

Amazing!

This has to be one of the best courses in the desert. It’s a bummer it’s only open to the public 1 day a week. Their practice facilities are more robust than any other course. Course was on the easier side, but has a great layout. Brunch was included,
