Heritage Oaks Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Nestled in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley, Heritage Oaks Golf Course sprawls across a diverse terrain that provides the course with plenty of variety. The par-70 layout has both links-style holes and more traditional, tree-lined holes. The front nine is more player friendly. There are some good opportunities to build up your score before facing the tougher back nine. It's a tighter layout with more trees, demanding accuracy and careful course management. A stream meanders through the golf course, connecting to the ponds that also come into play, especially on the back nine. There are also several strategically placed bunkers that lurk along the greensides. The golf course has some challenging holes but it's player friendly enough for beginners to approach with confidence. Four sets of tees make Heritage Oaks G.C. accessible to players of all skill levels.

Pace of play doesn't exist
I had not golfed here in while due to the busyness of this course. I will not be golfing there again until they change their ridiculous scheduling issues. The pace of play is making Heritage Oaks unplayable. There needs to be course rangers managing the players. Or change the tee times available with larger gaps. It should not be taking me 5 1/2 hours to play a round in the middle of a weekday. I had to wait an extra 15 minutes before I could even start my round, only to be waiting for 2 groups ahead of me to start the first par 3.
The fairway and greens are in excellent condition.
This is one of the best gems in Virginia.The price is a bit to high.$45.00 would bring more customers.
Great layout
We played this course for the first time. We’re pleasantly surprised by the layout.
Good value
Heritage Oaks is a good value as the course is in good condition. Only issue that I had was that there was no drinking water on the course when the temperature was around 90 F.
Diamond in the rough
Course was a great layout for the area.
Considering the lack of rainfall, the greens were good and the fairways were sparse in places considering the conditions. The rough could have been mowed down a little to help speed up play. Overall, nice track.
Tough Summer
Extreme drought conditions in the Valley have obviously stressed courses, but Heritage Oaks is still very playable , if not at their usual high standard. There was a remarkable number of unrepaired pitch marks on practically every green. Haven't seen that before at this course. ???
Great Value
Always enjoy playing Heritage Oaks when staying at Massanutten. Their Thursday rate cant be beat!
Awesome course
Heritage Oaks is a very nice course!!! Dave does such a great job with the course layout! Very forgiving fairways! If you hit in the rough, you still have a shot to the green! But that will change once the spring and summer arrive, then it’s atleast A one shot possibly 2 when you hit in the rough! Putting surfaces where in really good shape! Overall this course is well worth the play!! Enjoy
Always enjoy playing here, and now it is back on golf now
Always enjoy playing here, and now it is back on golf now at a great rate
Back again
I have played this course numerous times. I enjoy playing it when I get the opportunity. It’s by far the best maintained course in the area. Looking forward to playing it again sooner.
Still the Best Muni in the Valley
Heritage Oaks provides an interesting, walkable, scorable design at a great price with a friendly staff and great conditions. So basically, all you could ask from a municipal golf course.
With the summer heat and dry conditions, the course is currently playing firmer and faster than I've ever seen (in season). The slight browning out in some spots may not look the most appealing but it takes away nothing from the playability and in fact enhances it, giving you Bryson-like drives on some of the holes and challenging greens.
The variety of holes here always makes for a thorough round of golf, using all the clubs in your bag and skills on your person.
It's always a pleasure to play here and I can't wait to come back again!
Getting better
Heritage Oaks just keeps getting better...my only complaint is that the greens are much slower, though in great shape, than I am used to playing.
Excellent Course
Course is in excellent condition, both fairways and greens. Rough next to fairways is grass cut too tall and makes finding your ball a challenge. Layout is good and you can score if you keep it in the fairway.
Excellent course!
The course is relatively small, but fairways and greens were in excellent condition. Also each hole presents its unique challenge. It’s a course that requires you to use all the clubs in your bag.
