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.

Best Public Greens in 7 Years

These were the best greens I have played for a public (semi-private) course. Absolutely amazing.

Whole course was in great shape too.

Pros:

Elevation changes, fun par 5’s, greens

Cons:

Charge for range balls at this greens fee pricing

Carts a bit dated

Some similar, quirky par 4’s where you hit out to a ledge and the green is well below the fairway.

Will return though.

Fun Round

Played the course based on high ratings provided by other Golf Now members. The course didn't disappoint. Plenty of reasonable challenging holes which made for an enjoyable round. Definitely plan to play it again in the near future.

Excellent Course

Love this track! Great layout, greens are coming back from being punched but roll extremely fast. Would say they are about 85% back, very playable.

New favorite

So this course has probably become a new favorite of mine. Course was in great shape, greens were bumpy but rolled quicker than most. Not the most difficult or longest course I have ever played but it was a place I wouldn’t get board at. I will be back, probably soon

Great Track

Played 7/17- saw the note of recent aeration which was fine. Can’t beat price of $55 for this track during the week. Once the greens fill in it will be perfect. One complaint is that in 100° heat there are only two water stations. However the cart gift made it around to me 4 times during my round that only took 4 hours as a single behind 4-somes all day.

Beautiful course, fond memories.

I used to play here with my grandfather when he lived at Heritage Ranch. I chose to go back mostly for the memories. The course is still very nice and well maintained. Not the most friendly staff in my experience, but still a challenging and fun course.

Pro Condition Greens

First time playing Heritage Ranch, and to say I was impressed would be an understatement. Course is in immaculate condition, and the greens were so fast. I'd almost say PGA Tour fast. Will be back.

Great course but they don’t know how to run it

We teed off early and we’re behind a group of 6 (no clue why that was allowed) but they were taking forever so we slowed our pace down to stop from waiting on them. Then the course marshal stopped us at the turn and told us we were a full behind pace. So he rushed us thru 10 only to have us waiting for the group of 6 to tee off each of the last 9 wholes.

The course is in fantastic condition. The atmosphere is a little clubbish if you are not a member, but nothing that affects the golf.
