A must play 3-4 times a year.

I have played his course a lot. Over the last few years, the new club house and amenities are country club like and feel. The course is a lot of fun using most clubs in your bag. There is room for error on most holes without jeopardizing your round. Many different looks off the tee and a wonderful layout. The halfway house is in the right location to get water, food etc from many holes. Pace of play was perfect. Not being pushed and not waiting on a busy weekend is great. Go out there and enjoy this course!

Enjoyable Course, Annoying Policies

This review is simple: I really liked the course and the facilities. The facilities are very new and organized, the staff is organized and has all the carts cleaned, and its easy to check in. The course itself was in good condition and was enjoyable to play.

The negative of my review comes from whatever golf cart policy the course has that caused me to have to move from my cart (I was riding solo) and into the cart with one of the random people I was paired up with, mid-round. Apparently the course was running out of carts, so I had to move all my stuff to another cart and sit/converse with a random individual. I was not offered a credit or any sort of refund for paying, in full, for a cart. In the end I was paired up with fine people and it worked out, but this course Policy (or whatever it was) stinks and the course needs to better account for their cart shortage.

Pleasantly Surprised

Played Heritage Oaks on Monday. I’m very happy to report the course is in excellent shape. For whatever reason the course was not good after redo. Stayed away for a couple of years. Gave it another try on Monday. Everything was great. I’ll be back, many times. Highly recommend!

You'll do better somewhere else

The course has yet to recover from the renovation done in 2020. Fairways are slightly above average but areas around greens are completely uneven and greens belong at a muni in the Sahara. When MANY other courses in the area are in significantly better condition and dont charge $62 to walk, take them up on it.
