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.

Needs some work

Tee boxes were a bit rough, pretty chopped up. Fairways need to be mowed and lots of dry patches. Some greens were good and some had some areas that were dirt.

This course need to be maintained better, not sure if it just got aerated and needs some time to grow. I would not be able to recommend this course at this time. I love the layout but the current condition would not bring me back to play. Hopefully this is just temporary and the course just needs to be repaired.

Confirmed: Burned out

The drought has really hurt this course and the recent rain has not helped it recover. In last spring the hope was just dormant and dry. Now after some much needed rain you know it is just dead. The rain has washed dead patches down to bare earth. Unfortunate as this is a fun and scorable layout. It is now mostly a weedy beach. Will take some effort to recover. I’d pass for the foreseeable future.

Mid as ever

Fairways look like the desert. Greens bumpy. Tee boxes, roll the dice. Pace of play for the weekend is well below average. Every hole felt like hole one. Ban list for me.

Greens were I bad shape

I understand drought conditions have been bad, but the greens were so dry, most of them barely had grass. Which makes for a nightmare when putting. I hope this was only do to the lack of rain.

Getting better after punch out maintenance

Grass is growing in after lots of maintenance. Will be back soon. Course has a fun layout and people we meet are very friendly. Got to give it a try. Got caught in the 15 minutes of rain. Then all good

Great course with a great layout and excellent conditions. Staff was very friendly when checking in and the driving/chipping area is also in great condition for the year. Only complaint was that we only saw the cart girl twice the whole round. Still a great round.

Disgrace

Everything about this course was terrible! I’ve played this many times in the past, yet now this place is a disgrace to the sport. Not only were all the greens dead, but also fairways, and if there was any grass (in the rough), it looked like it hasn’t been attended to in months. At the turn, we stopped in for a beverage to possibly cope with this nightmare, and the bartender wouldn’t even provide ice, she said it was the course policy not the bars, and was very rude. The pace of play was also horrible, usually I’ll try and find something positive when I’m stranded on a golf course in this condition, but I really couldn’t find one thing acceptable. Even the cart girl (when she showed-up), was on the 9th and 18th holes, didn’t make sense, since the clubhouse was right there. Oh yeah, and they charge 70$, i wouldn’t play here if they paid me. Please don’t waster your time and money, it seems whoever is managing this place wants it to go under.
