Straight forward muni course

Heritage Oaks is a straight forward course, i mean that figuratively and literally. No curve balls during the round. Almost every hole plays dead straight (slight bends here or there). Typical back and forth muni course. Slice or hook it off the tee? Go to the next or previous fairway and play your shot. I say all this not as a bad thing however. Heritage Oaks offers a unique set of circumstances to golfers. Due to the lack of OB and simple hole layout, golfers off all levels can play this course without losing more than 1 or 2 balls (if you lose any). And unlike other courses that have this kind of layout, Heritage is actually manicured and clearly loved by the owners. This is the first course that I have played at that was so simple, but didn’t feel like I was playing an unloved muni course. Some fairways and tee boxes were slightly beat up. And the greens did run on the slower side. But this was the first time playing it, and it’s still early in the season. Highly recommend this course to high and mid handicap golfers. Great course to bring someone new to golf if they are itching to play a “real course”. Low handicap players might get bored, but if you are just looking to try to shoot low, you’ll have a good time. Will for sure come back.

A Gem

Heritage Oaks is one of my favorite spots to play. The staff is always super friendly and welcoming. For how early in the season it is, the course is in great shape — really well maintained.

This is a great track for the value, and the pace of play is consistently outstanding. Never feel rushed, never stuck behind slow groups. Just a smooth, fun round every time.

If you’re looking for a solid layout, good conditions, and a laid-back vibe — this place checks all the boxes.

What happened to this place?!

Used to be my favorite course. Charging $87 for the conditions the course is in is crazy. Dead grass everywhere, tee boxes are just completely destroyed and some fairways are non-existent. Really disappointing to pay that much when the course is no where near that level. Won’t be coming back.

End of season round

There were lots of ground staff working on the course. Fairways were in good shape but several of the greens were a little beat up with lots of divot’s that had not been fixed. Since the temperature was only 50 degrees there were fewer golfers on the course so the pace was excellent. We played our round under four hours. Staff was helpful and friendly and the restaurant was still serving a full menu.

Irritating course to play. Some poor course conditions and slow play. Find a different tract next time you play.
