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.

Extremely slow and no marshalling effort

On pace for a 5.5 - 6 hour round. 3hrs for front 9. Rode in on hole 13....4+ hours at that point. Don't recommend on a Sunday.

Double booked

I booked a reservation on the app. Paid in the proshop for my round. Got to the starter and was told I couldn’t go at the time I was booked. I was told I either could play as a single behind multiple foursomes or wait 1.5 hours to play with a group. I couldn’t get a refund because there was no manager on site. During the peak season on a weekend this is unacceptable. I will never come back to this place. Awful experience and would give zero stars if I could.
