About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 6898 yards
Slope 129
Rating 73.5

The Heritage Harbor Golf Club measures nearly 7,000 yards from the back tees and is one of the more challenging public course layouts in the Tampa Bay area. Four sets of tees have been incorporated into the design, making the course fun for golfers of all skill levels. The swirling winds and strategically located bunkers will play havoc with the players of these finely manicured links. However, the large greens may provide some relief. The premium on the championship course has been placed mainly on the short game. Winding through natural areas and cypress heads, Heritage Harbor Golf Club offers many scenic, unobstructed views. Seven of the eighteen holes have no homesites adjacent to the fairways, offering great, uncluttered golf.

Not worth the money

The course has a great layout, but there is minimal grass, a lot of dirt, the greens are tiny and beat up.

Nice course!

The fairways were dry with a lot of dead grass spots due to the drought. I enjoyed the course layout. Can’t wait to go back after we get some rain!

Drought stricken fairways

Fairways are in poor condition due to the ongoing Florida drought. Lies are really tight with a lot of exposed sandy soil. Greens are sanded which makes putting unpredictable. Tee boxes are also in less than desirable condition.

I think they just gave up maintaining this course.

Definitely not worth the price. All courses in the area are struggling from the drought, but this one is awful. Lumpy, bald, and uneven tee boxes, crab grass everywhere in the fairway, huge dead patches, etc. No one bothers to rake the bunkers. Greens are decent. Clubhouse is nice.

Probably Not!

Course is in need of major improvements. Good layout, friendly staff, greens were okay, but fairways were basically dirt. Practice range was awful.

Brutal Conditions with the Drought

It’s not their fault that there hasn’t been rain, but can’t see myself coming back anytime soon until it rains and they get the course back in shape. Layout is good and pace was solid, just need to get the conditions back to what they were.

Don’t waste your money

This course is in terrible shape don’t waste your money it’s a flood zone and there is no grass in the fairways. The fairways are more like sand traps. Do not waste your money. Absolute garbage.

Dry and brown at Heritage Harbor

Course hasn’t had water and there are virtually no fairways. You have to search for grass to place your ball or yo played it off bare ground. Even with the dry conditions, the greens were slow and bumpy and the traps were hard packed. All the lakes and ponds were practically dry. We’ve played this course in the past when conditions were more conducive to play. Our foursome had decided to take Heritage Harbor off our list to play until conditions there improve.

Fairways are dirt

Every shot from the fairway was like hitting out of sand. Greens were in ok condition but the rest of the course was horrible. Save your money and a headache.

This place has fallen off

Awful pace of play, fairways and tee boxes are absolute dog tracks… greens are equivalent to a nice fairway. This place used to be better. What a shame. Pro shop is bad too. No memorabilia or balls to purchase besides noodles and pinnacles. Someone needs to buy this place and save this course before it ends up as section 8 housing developments

Fairways are like playing on concrete.

The fairways were terrible! You would be lucky to find some grass in 90% of the fairways. The ground is hard the greens were ok but need a lot of care. I would not recommend playing here. I have not played here in many years and I will not go back for many years. This used to be a beautiful course don’t know what happened.

In need of a little TLC

Love this course but the fairways need help

The t-boxes were ok and the greens were fast

They have a nice patio overlooking the 11 th hole which is very nice

Will wait till next year to try it again
