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.

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.

The possibilities

Although the course layout was nice, it could use some love and attention. The greens were ok, at best. The fairways and rough, were ruff, 😂. Doesn’t look like they were mowed in a while.

Its a jungle out there

Like previous reviews, where are the grounds keeping crew. It’s evident that the place hasn’t been tended to for some time. Balls are easily lost in the very tall grass in the rough. Greens need to be looked at. Other grass growing within the putting area. Makes it difficult for smooth rolling putts. Let’s not talk about the bunkers. I do like the layout of the course and would come back, but c’mon, let’s clean up the course!

USE YOUR LAWN MOWERS!!

Roughs are a foot high - lost balls on decent shots. Do not recommend at this time until they break out the lawn mowers. Horrible...

Gone Downhill

I absolutely hate having to write this. Heritage Harbor is so close to my house and it has a decent layout. But they have let the course go. Bunkers haven’t been raked in months, grass hasn’t been cut in weeks, greens have weeds all over them, tee boxes have hardly any grass. Just terrible that they have allowed this to happen in a nice community. It’s clear the neighborhood no longer owns the course. Not sure what’s going on. The course manager was riding around snaking a cigar instead of cutting the grass. I think Northdale is in better condition. So that tells you how bad HH is. Save your money.
