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.

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.

Traveling Golfer

The course was nice to play the one thing that I did not like was I was a single and there was a foursome just ahead of me that was going to Tee off and the starter allow them to go ahead of me I believe because they were members but other than that the course was a nice course to play. The layout of the course was nice and I will play it again

Greens are in amazing shape

I really enjoyed playing this course the second time. I am drawn back for more because of the mystery of solving green undulation. Very subtle. I read 9-18 greens wrong. Not sure why I got so many turns wrong but i am going to come back until I figure it out. The roll was perfect. I loved the challenge.
