Length 6988 yards
Slope 138
Rating 80.2

Heritage Ranch serves up an especially challenging par 72, 6,988-yard Arthur Hills design that rolls through the oaks and pecans just outside of Fairview. And while it’s part of a gated, active-adult residential community, the course is open to the public and especially fun because it integrates well with the neighborhood. Houses line some fairways, but a fair number of holes provide that natural, rural feel that is always so welcome on a golf course.

While the course is not particularly demanding off the tees, the real challenge at Heritage Ranch comes from the mound-shaped greens. If your irons aren’t dialed in, you’ll be working hard for ups and downs.

No. 1 is a unique opener because it bends left down to a fairway and green that aren’t visible from the tee. Big drives can get close, but the recommended play is to take a long iron and draw it over the hill.

The par 5s on the front are nice holes. No. 3 doglegs right and requires a good tee shot, followed by a relatively easy second shot into a widening fairway toward the hole. The trick is nailing the short iron (almost a blind shot) into the elevated green guarded by bunkers on the front. No. 7 is longer and offers a good chance for birdie, again because of its wide-open nature.

No. 16 is the signature hole: a par 3 masterpiece that plays along a natural spring waterfall. You’ll need to nail a long iron over the valley and avoid the trees that overhang the fairway from the right.

No. 18 is a good finisher–it’s a long par 4 that doglegs left around a few large fairway bunkers, then works its way uphill to an elevated, mound-shaped green surrounded by bunkers. Ups and downs are possible here if you miss the green back left, which is easy to do when you approach with a fairway wood.

Getting there : Only 20 miles northeast of Dallas, take I-75 north to the Stacy Road exit, then turn right and drive to the dead end. The road jogs to the left, then right, and continues as Stacy Road. The entrance is 2 miles down on the left.

You won't regret playing here.

Great course with several wide open holes and challenging elevation changes. Greens were good and the fairways were well managed. Definitely give this place a chance when you can.

No water coolers ANYWHERE on the course for 18 holes?

I just have such a hard time understanding how Heritage Ranch thinks it is appropriate to allow golfers come from all over to play their course, pay $80+ on the weekend and then not provide any water coolers whatsoever for their customers. Played the course yesterday and it was not my first visit to Heritage Ranch; however, by hole 6 I was getting somewhat dehydrated because it was 98º outside all day. I call the clubhouse and ask if they can send a beverage cart out to hole 6 with waters for us. I was asked if I could wait until hole 10 to come get water after the front 9. I said no, it was hot out and would appreciate some water asap as there was no cooler to get it from anywhere on the course (the clubhouse did manage to remember to charge everyone over $80 to play that day). The beverage cart finally showed up at the end of hole 9.

Truly one of the most frustrating experiences I have ever dealt with on a golf course and especially a course who thinks they can charge $80+ for a round and not provide any drinking water to their customers. Shame on you, Heritage Ranch, but I guess y'all saved a quick buck by not hiring another employee to drive a second beverage cart around on a weekend day.

nice course

I've played here several times in the past. Usually pretty pricey unless you find a deal. I was amazed at the condition of the course with the drought we are currently in and the heat we've been enduring. Better than many of the courses I've played lately. The driving range was closed and apparently won't be open for the next 1-2 months. Course was not busy at all.

I'm speechless

This course has out did itself for the 5th time. From tee to green, it was in the best condition of the year. And with the heat of Texas, the course held true to the standard... matter of fact, above the standard!!! No other public course in McKinney, Allen, or Plano can touch this course.

Fast round

Course was almost empty and played 9 holes in one hour. Greens had been aerated not too long ago but growing in well.

Hot temps but starter offered ice towel.
