About

Holes 18
Type Public/Resort
Par 72
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.

Great Course, but that Marshall…

I usually always enjoy playing this course. Course was in great condition, greens were fast. Only negative was the course Marshall. The group in front teed off nearly 20 minutes before us and we’re a 3 some. Our 4 some actually caught them on a par 3, then on the next hole the Marshall become confrontational with us because they were on the green as we were teeing off. I am all for pace of play, but he was clearly not aware of what was going on. We explained we waited for them on previous hole and he basically said we were lying. Hopefully he is not out there the next time I play. BTW, we finished right at 4 hours

Fun design, great shape considering the season

Greens and tee boxes were very green while fairways were brownish as expected this time of the year. The back tee boxes were a bit rougher than the rest. Obviously most people play it forward. Greens were fast a rolling true. Overall I enjoyed the course.

Nice course

Very nice course at Heritage Ranch, greens were the best I’ve played in the DFW area. Played with a couple guys that lived on the course and they were very helpful when planning shots. Carts were now and GPS worked good in every one and were consistent. Will definitely play there again soon.

excellent shape, great clubhouse and facility. Plenty of practice areas close by the clubhouse and first tee. Very fast greens but course was in great shape. Very tough if you are not familiar with the course due several blind shots but definitely worth playing again in the future. Only downside, no "on course" amenities like beverage cart or bathrooms that I noticed

Been meaning to play here for some time

Very well maintained course, Sunday morning early tee-time, starter paired me up with a twosome to keep pace of play good. Nicely laid out course - none of those holes where you think, why did they do this?

Ate afterwards, food was great (I had wings) - everything coming out looked delicious.

Very happy I played there, will be going back regularly.
