Great local and close to home course

Moved to the area recently and found a wonderful local course in Heritage Oaks. With the option of 9 or 18 holes, or when I just want to work on my short game or practice at the range, there’s always an opportunity for me improve my game. Staff is always friendly and make you feel like a member of a club.

Played 5/20. Early in the year - but course conditions - tee boxes patchy, greens slow. Greenside areas very poor

Overall - Like the layout - conditions need to improve

Great pace of play on a tuesday afternoon

I walked the course in 3 hours, which is exceptional. Course layout is pretty good, not too challenging but still have to hit the right shots.

Nice course

Good time at Heritage. Friendly staff, good restaurant. Course was in good shape. Greens were good, some spotty areas in the fairways. No beverage cart.

Combative Ranger

The course scheduling led to delays, with 10-minute intervals and a slow foursome ahead starting late, dragging through the front nine. They became a threesome, picking up pace, but we stayed right behind, never more than a shot off. Around hole 12, a ranger curtly demanded we speed up, overlooking the group ahead still on the par-3 tee as we waited for our approach. A kinder, more considerate delivery, along with some awareness of the course’s flow, would’ve made a big difference.
