Always a great time

Love this course, staff keep it in top condition. Great greens. My only issue is with the bunkers. Not sure what’s going on but, they were hard and club didn’t have much sand to move. Club bounced off of hard pan.

Still really enjoy this place.

Disappointing

No carts were allowed because evidently the course was too wet. I walked the entire course and only ran into one area that was wet. A better play would have been to rope that area off and allow carts.

Payed for cart and didn’t get a cart

I payed for a cart and the course did not allow carts due to water- I would like a rebate on the cart fee. The course said I had to contact you. Please advise.

we’ll never be back.

Awful experience — we’ll never be back.

A marshal tailed us from holes 2 to 5, pressured us constantly, and disrupted our game. He waved the group behind us through, hovered over us so closely that one of my partners gave up mid-swing, and kept changing his mind on what we should do. Then he blamed us for slow play — even though the delay was clearly caused by him and the group in front of us.

He showed clear favoritism to four male regulars behind us, while treating our all-female group like we were a problem. His “solution”? Kicking us off the championship course we paid $75 each for, and dumping us onto a cheaper, poorly maintained nine-hole course without our consent. we, as first time visitors, didn't even realize it!

The entire atmosphere was different & poor compared to championship course. We paid $310 as a group — and it felt like we had paid to be disrespected.

We will absolutely neither visit this place again nor recommend at all!

Awful experience in heritage oaks golf club

•The marshal was overly involved and repeatedly disrupted our pace of play.

•The delays were caused by the marshal himself, not by us.

•He was polite to certain regulars (older male golfers) but dismissive and rude to our all-female group.

•As a so-called “solution,” he moved us to a lower-tier course we didn’t pay for.

•The overall culture felt unwelcoming to both younger players and women.

I will absolutely never visit again.

$77 was such a waste!!!!!!

Need a few rangers out there

There’s a lot to like about heritage oaks. Good range, nice clubhouse, convenient halfway house. However I’ve had too many issues with starting late and slow pace of play. Course gets backed up easily, I think they book every 10 mins so it really shouldn’t be that bad.
