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.

Communications Non Existent

I have golfed this course well over 12 times in last year Late last night got a notice from my golfing app that the course was closed.for my tee time in the morning. I have tried calling the club, going on line and NOTHING. No tee times and no reason for my time being cancelled. To say I am disappointed is an understatement. Totally understand difficult times but I do know it is not that hard to communicate your closed.

Russ, not sure if my last comment was printed. I will try again. My name is Eric and I am the Community Events Director at Heritage Ranch. Could you give me a call at the main number and use extension 101 to reach me? I would like to discuss this situation over the phone.

Perfect

Anyone who doesn’t rate this 5 stars is either blind or slow. Immaculate course, no matter how much it rains the bunkers are always in great condition. I’ve played at courses 3times the price of heritage that weren’t this nice. Greens are always pristine, 10 green seems faster than the rest for some reason.

A Humbling Round

We expected a golf challenge but were humbled by the hard and fast conditions. We did OK from the tee but tight lies off of dormant grass and then hard very fast greens caused some swearing. We decided to wait a month before attempting this course again.

Winter conditions

Winter conditions here. Greens are dormant but perfect and fast. Lots of mud from recent rains and floods. Bunkers 50% GUR. They’ll be nice when completed. Played on a 76 degree february day. 2 hour front 9, 3 hour back 9. No marshals and they had members go off the back9. Good course layout as always. For $41, good value..

Heritage Ranch

The course has wide open fairways but that may be the only easy part of it's design. It's layout has well placed bunkers and other hazards that make club selection key. The greens are in great winter shape, no real issues there. They are currently replacing and reworking some of the bunkers. They should be completed by the end of February. No issues with pace of play, which can be an issue here.
