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.

Mid…. The fairways are in decent condition and the greens have patches and could just use a little bit of TLC. The pace of play was fine on the front 9 but on the back 9 became a CRAWL and ended up having 6 groups including myself waiting.

Wishing for better results-Needs a lot of TLC

Booked this on it's 5.4 star rating. That was VERY generous. Liked the layout however the fairways and 1st cut were hard to tell the difference and needed attention. All the sand traps need to be refilled and worked on. Some disease affected many of the greens which made it hard to putt at times. I was looking forward to it being so close to Tampa TPC however, Kinda disappointed and not sure I would play here again.

A GOOD BUT WET DAY

My latest trip to Heritage Harbor was a morning after a 3-4 inch rainfall the night before. We were asked to stay on the cart paths, which was totally understandable. Roll out was reduced because of the wet conditions. We even saw water standing in a few fairway low spots. But the greens were great and I would not hesitate playing the course again. It's a fun track.

Not a good value

I have played HH many many times . I know we have had a tremendous amount of rain. The ruff around the greens hasn’t been cut in weeks. Every green is unplayable. HH is almost cow pasture status at 46 bucks it is a ripofff . I will check back in spring

GOOD FOR A VERY SOGGY DAY

We came to play a day after a 3-4 inch rainfall. It was cart path only, very understandable, due to wet grounds and even some standing water. There was no roll out after a shot either because of the wet conditions. Still it was an enjoyable round with fast a true greens. We'll play there again.

Worst Course in Tampa

If you like weeds for fairways and craters on the greens this course is for you. My group and I play once a week at courses in the area and by far the worst course conditions in the area. Nothing redeemable about this course, save your money and play any other course in the area.

Course Condition

I play Heritage Harbor once per week and sometimes twice. I like the course layout however, the condition can be improved. The rough is really high and out of control. It's very easy to lose your ball if you happen to land there. There is a good amount of crabgrass in the fairways and on a number of the greens. Hoping these issues can be fixed.

Weeds and 12 in rough

Not sure if the own enough mowers or maintenance people to mow the rough. Perhaps they’re hosting next years US Open.

This Course has come a long way.

Greens in great shape, roll true. Very little crab grass on greens. Fairways are great also, some tee boxes are not good, but the rest of the course is great.

Summer Florida golf

Other than the "feels like" 105-110 degree temperature, had a good time practicing at HH yesterday. Teeing off at 1PM, the course wasn't busy so I was able to work on some of my game.

This course has some about 10 holes that a less than average golfer like myself can score well on. The par 3's are not difficult and some of the par 4's are relatively basic.

Where the course gets much more difficult is there are some holes with multiple doglegs and woods or brush that unless you can hit over them, give you a small margin and target.

Its the kind of course where I'll get my confidence up by having 3 or 4 holes with good scores and then you get into one of the tight holes where the overgrowth gobbles up balls. Greens in good shape and not too much stiff breaks. Not fast. Fairways in good shape but there are many spots where the grass isn't grass but like a crab grass. Sand is nice.

I like playing here but just when I get going, those woods are hard to get around.

Need to maintain course

Very disappointed in what should have been a beautiful golf course. More weeds than grass in the fairways, and the greens were not much better. The amount of flying insects at the tee boxes made teeing off a challenge and irritating, and the lack of signage while trying to navigate the course was aggravating. So sad to see a great opportunity wasted and the price definitely did not represent the conditions.

Six-some?

For some reason a six-some was allowed to play in front of us, teeing off on the tenth hole. No ranger, no starter. Played two holes on the back and quit. Too long between shots.
