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.

Fantastic course conditions

Tee time just before 11am

Pace in the front was good however there were a few slow spots as we moved through the second half.

That said it is all worth is as this course has amazingly manicured greens…best I’ve seen lately in NE Texas, fairways were very dood condition as well. Hats off to the staff for managing this course so we’ll, many others in NE Texas are still recovering from the freeze followed by the excessive rains

Had an awesome time, but lost me as a customer

I love the course, the price was fair. Tee'd off a few minutes late, no biggie. I was paired with a twosome, we played the round, 2 hours on the front and 2 hours on the back. The 1 thing that will keep me from returning was the customer service from the marshal/pro shop attendant. He caught up with us the end of hole 7 (cart path only), said the group in front of us was on hole 10, I just saw them T off on 8 so that was a lie. Said we needed to speed up our play. We were exactly 1 hour and 20 minutes into our round. Never saw the folks behind us. So they rushed us for no reason... Put you in a crappy mind frame and really upset us.

Had the same experience today...rude marshal at the turn and some punk kid employee chased us down to say more on the 12th tee box. He ever had the wrong group to yell at. Done with this place!

Heritage Ranch 6/22/21

Track in great shape tee to green. Looks to have come out of the February 2021 “Winter-apocalypse” much better than a number of the public access courses across north Texas and Oklahoma. Fairways were lush, greens fast, bunkers groomed.

Nice Layout, Soggy Conditions

I got a Hot Deal through GolfNow to play this course which I have played about 10 times over the last 3-4 years. I have always loved this course.

Once I got to the 3rd hole, I noticed the next 6 holes would be Cart Path Only (CPO). This is due to flooding on these holes. Between the higher than normal grass, CPO, and the odor, I did not enjoy playing these holes.

I understand flooding can't be controlled by management but want others to be aware of this situation. Hopefully, the course can get back to normal soon for these 6 holes.

Frequent player of this course.

It was cart path only which I expected after all the rain which can make this course difficult to to play with lack of yardage markers in the fairway. The pace of play despite this continues to be atrocious with our cart continually signaling we are behind. !5 minutes after first 2 holes. It took over 5 hours to play on an otherwise nice day which is inexcusable and continues to be the case. 4 hours max should be the time limit max. You can signal for a marshal on the cart but no one ever comes.

Aerification Green Fee Made Sense

I would recommend this course again. They did a shotgun start at 8:30am which helped the pace of play but was put off by the marshall still rushing our foursome when we were on pace for a 4hr round. The price was all right for the greens being punched. The course has a wonderful layout for all level players. Will be back.
