About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 6898 yards
Slope 129
Rating 73.5

The Heritage Harbor Golf Club measures nearly 7,000 yards from the back tees and is one of the more challenging public course layouts in the Tampa Bay area. Four sets of tees have been incorporated into the design, making the course fun for golfers of all skill levels. The swirling winds and strategically located bunkers will play havoc with the players of these finely manicured links. However, the large greens may provide some relief. The premium on the championship course has been placed mainly on the short game. Winding through natural areas and cypress heads, Heritage Harbor Golf Club offers many scenic, unobstructed views. Seven of the eighteen holes have no homesites adjacent to the fairways, offering great, uncluttered golf.

This course has a nice layout with enough challenging holes to make it interesting. I have played here many times and will be back.

The only problem we encountered was the length and shagginess of the grass on the tee boxes. Would love to see the grounds crew cut these down to a playable length.

First Time Playing

First time here and I was excited to play and hopeful based on recent reviews stating excellent course conditions, but honestly the course needs some help in terms of condition. Lots of St. Augustine grass and others closer to weeds mixed in with the fairways, rough, greenside and even on the greens in some spots / holes. Most tee boxes in poor shape. Several fairways had large ground under repair sections. Greens have been obviously reduced in size, presumably to make it cheaper/easier to maintain, but they were not in great shape. And the smaller size makes certain holes nearly impossible to hit the green even with solid approach shots. All but one of the par fives are gimmicky blind doglegs and not much fun to play, especially with shrunken greens. The people were friendly and the beverage cart was around at least twice during our round. They had drinking water every few holes but most were empty by early afternoon. This place could be so much nicer, more fun and worthy of the greens fees if it were just in better condition.

Hot day

we played 4 holes on Monday and had to leave because it was so hot. We were on the verge of heat stroke. I wish we could get a rain check after spending $76 for our twosome. They warned us of the heat stroke potential and had to 911 a golfer due to the extreme heat. I hope they will reach out and invite us back with a heat stroke rain check

I’d have given it 5 stars if the carts were charged! LOL

This is definitely not a reason to avoid this course. But our cart died in the middle of the first 9. Then at 10, we went into the restaurant for a little while, and when we came out our replacement cart had also died. After swapping it out for the 2nd time we were back in business. It appeared that whomever plugged in the chargers, failed epically. Lol. However, the staff was nice as could be and had us up and running both times very quickly. This is a nice course with pretty greens. The tee boxes are a little brown, but the course was in very good shape. There are a couple of frustrating holes where you have to shoot over scrub or lay up, but I found as many balls as I lost, so I was still up on balls for the day.

Between here and Heritage Isles (don’t get them confused or you will miss your tee time. People do! They are not close.) these are my two go to courses in the area. They feel more like country clubs than city courses and you can usually find a hot deal on golf now.

Regardless of the time of year a ranger is needed to move the pace of play. Foursome way to slow. Takes away from a great course

Very nice layout. Thinking mans course

Unfortunately, heavy rain earlier in morning made for very wet playing conditions. I really enjoyed the course. Challenging layout yet fair. The type of course after playing you would like a second chance. The greens were a bit shaggy and slow due to aeration, but that’s just what we face in Florida this time of year. Some of the greens were narrow, but long demanding accurate shot unfortunately, not in my skill set. The sand traps seems OK however, lots of them are still full of water. I would say, my only complaint would be the condition of the tea boxes or pretty rough otherwise, a very enjoyable afternoon. Looking forward to coming back and giving it a second chance.
