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.

First Time Playing

This is a very nice course with beautiful Fairways, fast but true greens, and very playable. No tricked up holes really, mostly straightforward and just a beautiful setting and course. Clubhouse is huge and elaborate, they were hosting a wedding there as we made the turn. It's a little spend but we got a great deal on GolfNow for 47.00 for 18 with a cart. Highly recommend this course, I'll be back for sure!

Very enjoyable golf

Second time playing this course, and enjoyed it very much. Only question is why the greens are not over-seeded? They were very fast due to Bermuda being dormant and mowed extremely short (almost to dirt). Tee boxes had been over-seeded, but not yet mowed.

Fast greens

Greens are very quick and putt well. Course conditions were very good. Course was busy for 2 o'clock tee time. Pace of play was good but not great. Definitely a must play.

GREAT COURSE - HORRIBLE PRACTICE RANGE

This is GREAT course. Tough to get weekend morning t-times, maybe because club members get first call, which I would completely understand. Friendly staff. Only complaint is the practice range. NOT GOOD. Very surprising for a country club. Worst I've ever been on. But I'll keep coming back because of the GREAT course and use the practice range at other courses.

Favorite Public Course in Dallas area

Play the course as much as I can, even though 30 minute drive to course. Challenging, yet playable layout, with lots of variation in holes throughout course.

Greenskeeper does an awesome job, and when conditions right can make the greens very fast.

For public course they provide amenities you find at private courses: meet you at car with cart, provide towels, friendly staff, with stocked beverage cart and nice clubhouse.

Unfortunately it is no longer a well kept secret,

Heritage Ranch

I am new to the area and while golfing another course, the golfer that I had been paired up with told me that Heritage Ranch was the best course in the area. I completely agreed with his recommendation because it is a very nice course and was in great shape.
