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.

Very nice course.

Played behind a very slow group of elderly gentleman. That will be expected out there.

Never Disappoints

Heritage Ranch is a great track. The conditions were outstanding, except for the aerified greens (hey, they have to do it).It's important to position your tee shot in the proper place on many holes.

Course Plushing Up

Always a fun, challenging course. The course is greening up, thus the fairways are becoming more plush. It is easier to hit off the fairways.

Wonderful

I actually live at Heritage Ranch and moved here because of the golf course and overall atmosphere. It's a great course and can be difficult. I play here about once a week. It costs more than others, but it is well worth it. The course is hilly unlike many courses nearby. Fast greens that can be deceptive also.

Great course!

Golf Now purchase was welcomed. The course had received four inches of rain two days before, so understandably, there were some areas that weren't in the best condition. This course is fun to play yet challenging. Give this course a few weeks of spring sunshine and it will be in great shape.

Fun course needing some imorovement

Liked the course design. Greens are a little fast but in good shape. Many areas of fairways are dampened even though there has not been rain for a while and some other areas are hard and dry. Many wet and muddy areas around the greens affected chipping. I might try this course again later in the season But now now.

Communication Necessary

Checked in for pre paid golf today. Bad news. Was informed AT CHECK IN that 2 holes were closed so only get to golf 16. Of course no price reduction, credit, oh anything but the facts. Good news at least they told us at check in. Bad news is why were we not told when we booked (of course would not have booked). I have golfed here twice in last 14 days. Will not be a third time any time soon.

British visitors

This was our fourth time at Heritage Ranch visiting from England. It’s a great course layout with some challenging holes. Course was in good condition. Coming from the English winter where greens are soft and slow the greens at Heritage Ranch were very fast and difficult to read. They certainly defended par. All in all this course is great to visit and we will play it again on our next trip

Great course for the money.

This course seemed more exclusive than the green fees would suggest. There were lots of amenities that we didn’t expect. It was in great shape for late November and the course layout was fun to play. Challenging, but not too much so. Lots of hospitality, too. Would highly recommend this course.
