About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 72
Length 6698 yards
Slope 128
Rating 72.1

The mountains are close enough to touch at this Arthur Hills design. Heritage Palms measures 6,698 yards from the back tees.

Four lakes are featured on the course, which is very green for a desert design. Hills contrast the fairways against the mountains and the desert in the distance, but this is very much a resort type course.

The par 3s are particularly inventive. This isn't one of Hills' tougher courses. It offers average hackers the chance to have a largely anxiety-free round. As long as they don't get too carried away with club selection.

There are a number of dogleg holes that force you to think before firing away. Just hitting as far as you can is an easy path to trouble. It's the shot after the shot you're hitting that must be thought of.

Slow play

Slow play. Ranger drove by us said he would talk to the group in front of us. Well…….he did nothing. All he had to do was tell the group that they need to pick up the pace. There was actually one lady that carried her golf bag from the cart to the green. At least is was only when chipping and putting.

More staff needed

They had a gaggle of 4somes book a block of time which ran WAY over anticipated/booked tee times. My tee time was 11:52 and I didn’t tee off until 12:35. There is no starter, no marshal, and apparently they are going through their 3rd GM. Great course, great layout, great value…. The mids at the desk apologized and agreed if we didn’t finish before dark they would reimburse us.
It’s a great course but it really needs some adult supervision before things really go sideways.

Pace of play slightly slow but could be attributed to 90 degree cart path only

Course would not honour GN deal

First time this has happened to me where the course would not honour the deal I got on GolfNow. The cost of my reservation for 2 was $130. The course told us that GN made a mistake and I had to pay $185. Reached out to GN for a refund but have not heard back.

CPO - CART PATH ONLY / NO BUFFET

This course is awesome!! The conditions are some of the best in my opinion in the desert area. We can accept that it was cart path only but as soon as we went to check in, the guy in the pro shop was already bothered by us and all others in line because he said "Golf Now" had messed up on the price to play and instead of only paying $65.00 ,,, It should have been $165.00... so he was very rude, short and did nothing to make us feel welcomed. The buffet was taken away from us unless if we wished to pay an additional $25.00.... We took it as it was and just agreed to pay the $65.00 because the course was looking INCREDIBE!! We were not worried about the buffet as much...... We still had a great day, and like i already said and I cannot emphasize this enough, the course was in the best shape i have ever seen it in!! $65.00 is a steal!!!

Great course, great people

Course was in excellent condition given this was the second day it was open. Greens were a little slow. Still waiting ti hear back from GolfNow as the course charged me $65 more than the price I was quoted by GolfNow.

A great value!

This is a semi-private course. I played it the second day it opened for the season. It was cart path only as the grass needed to grow in but the course was impeccable. It's not the world's most challenging course but it was not necessarily easy either. The staff were all excellent. I was charged a very low rate. I am thinking it was a mistake as I have paid double the rate to play less worthy courses in the Coachella Valley.
