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.

Beachy hay stack

There was an airation alert so we were aware that the conditions wouldn’t be ideal but I had no idea how bad a course could be. The “greens” were basically sand beds, the fairway in many places were so dry it looked like straw. The plugs from the airation were raked into piles to the side of a few greens areas and there was even a pile in the middle of the fairway on one hole. There is no ranger so there are kids and adults with kids riding electric scooters along the cart paths. It was a true circus. This was not somewhere I would go again ever and I definitely would never recommend this course to anyone that I like.

This is a criminal

The course is in horrible shape from the tees to the fairways to the greens being full of sand. I can't recommend it at this time maybe if they ever grow some grass it might improve. The other reviews are correct it is one of the worst I've ever played and I got a hot deal for 19.00 The only good thing was it wasn't jam-packed so the pace was rapid. 1 star from me until they water the whole golf course

Terrible beyond words

This golf course is the worst goat track I have ever stepped foot on. I really don't have the words to describe how bad in every way this course is. The owners should be ashamed of themselves for stealing money from us. Please hear this warning it isn't because it is summer time is ALWAYS like this it has been 3 years since I've been playing it I always think no it can't be as bad as others have said., it is. Save your money and go to any other course in Florida before this one. You will thank me later.Rock hard sand covered greens fairways patchy and bare hot with zero water stations and smelly low water-filled lakes. THE WORST IN HISTORY I WILL NEVER BE BACK THEY SHOULD REFUND ME AND I ONLY PAID 20 BUCKS A DISGRACE

Nice course in rough shape

Greens had recently been punched and sanded. Fairways were in rough shape due to lack of rain and irrigation. This course is normally very nice....hope the rains help bring it back. I would not play it again for several months for it to heal, if they take care of it as they should.

I have played there many times in the past. I was really disappointed in the condition of the course. I know they need rain... but you had to struggle to find any green grass on the fairways. they were airing the greens with holes & sand. I would play there again for $10.00. hopefully it will get better, it is a nice course.

In Bad Shape At This Time

The course used to be one of my favorite ones years ago. I stop playing golf and now back at it again after a 10 year break of golf. This is my first time here in a long time and what a disappointment. I had good memories playing here. But now the course is in bad shape. Fairway is dry and brutal to hit from the fairway with almost no grass in it. The greens are packed with sand and hard to read any putt speeds. Maybe it will be in good shape in about time for the snowbirds arrival. Will avoid this course for a while.

Horrible course conditions

Grass did not exist on this golf course. Tee boxes were brown, fairways were like walking on potato chips, and the course played like we were on a concrete parking lot. The greens were so thick with sand, that we’d be better off playing at Clearwater beach. We are Floridian golfers and expect drier courses during the summer, but this was awful.

We got so frustrated with the course conditions that we stopped playing after 9 holes and went to another course.

Decent for the conditions

Fun course with different layouts. They have a water restriction so the course can only be so good. The greens were decent considering and most of the course was playable. Can only do so much with this heat, no rain and limited watering abilities. That said, for the cost and the the layout we’ll be back again.

Needs Improvement

Florida is a tough place to maintain a golf course, I get that. .

ee

But..

Having previously worked at a course mowing tee boxes, fairways & rough ..

This course could use some MORE "tener living care"... 😢

Need to Know

Prior course knowledge would be helpful for this track. The course itself wasn't in the best of shape as fairways and tees were just aeriated but the rest of the course was a bit lacking as well.

Nice course.

Nice course for a decent price. There were some challenging holes that required some thought, and the right touch. I’m a somewhat new golfer, and got my first ever birdie, so I’ll definitely be back! No mats at the range, which is great!

Good time

Played today with 7 gapped toothed, mouth breathing, wonky eyed, porch dwelling, nose pickers. Had fun. It was hot and humid with a light breeze. Staff were terrific. Pro shop dude, starter and cart queen were helpful and quick. Bunkers and fairways were in good shape. Greens were actually green. Rare for this time of year with no rain after a winter of snow birds beating them up. Guess they don't fix pitch marks north of the Mason/Dickson line. The greens were slow. Due to being cut high so they don't die. Anyway, had fun, course was good, and staff deserve a raise.
