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.

Excellent Course in Great Condition

Fun, challenging course that is fun to play. The conditions are good for a semi-private course although the greens could be faster or more consistent from one green to the next.

Highly recommended to play.

This is Eric Hoyle, Community Events Director at Heritage Ranch. I am very sorry this happened to you. I would like to get more details on the booking. Could you give me a call at 972-886-4700 ext. 101? We are still trying to figure out where the breakdown in communications between us and GolfNow happened.

My name is Eric Hoyle and I am the Community Events Director here at Heritage Ranch. Not sure if you had 2, 3, or 4 players but if you did have 4 players, our starter may have thought that putting a twosome in front of you would get them out and not hurt your pace of play. I would love to know more details. Feel free to contact me at ehoyle@heritageranchgolf.com!

Near perfect shape

Went back to Heritage Ranch after two month hiatus. greens have come in very nicely. Rolled true with a little of the bermuda grain showing up. Fairways in excellent shape, bunkers too. A few dirt.closed areas, but it didn't take away from the golf. Thursday afternoon golf played in under 3 hours, which is a fantastic surprise. The guy who placed the flags today was in a very bad mood.... several pins on the back edges of greens. It really tested your short game and lag putting. All in all a very enjoyable round of golf on a nice course in a very friendly part of town.

We appreciate your positive review! Anytime you can get a 3 hour round of golf in is a win! I agree with the flag comment. They can be pretty dicey at times. I've worked here for 15 years and I still tease the Director of Agronomy on days where the tees are in the farthest back or we have what I call, the "Sucker" pin placements. Especially if you see a blue flag on number 5. Good luck trying to pin shoot there! Hope to see you again at Heritage Ranch!

Great Course

This course is one of the best I have played through GolfNow. Challenging but fair layout. Tight fairways, smallish firm and fast greens, GPS in carts. Best Free round of golf I've played! First time to make 3 birdies in a round, and in a span of 5 holes! Thank you GOLFPASS!

Pricey

The layout is interesting with houses on most holes. The course was in pretty good condition after the recent rain and the greens were in good shape.

$73 on a Friday for a Senior is too much given the other good courses in the area are a lot better value.
