Heritage Ranch Golf and Country Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Heritage Ranch serves up an especially challenging par 72, 6,988-yard Arthur Hills design that rolls through the oaks and pecans just outside of Fairview. And while it’s part of a gated, active-adult residential community, the course is open to the public and especially fun because it integrates well with the neighborhood. Houses line some fairways, but a fair number of holes provide that natural, rural feel that is always so welcome on a golf course.
While the course is not particularly demanding off the tees, the real challenge at Heritage Ranch comes from the mound-shaped greens. If your irons aren’t dialed in, you’ll be working hard for ups and downs.
No. 1 is a unique opener because it bends left down to a fairway and green that aren’t visible from the tee. Big drives can get close, but the recommended play is to take a long iron and draw it over the hill.
The par 5s on the front are nice holes. No. 3 doglegs right and requires a good tee shot, followed by a relatively easy second shot into a widening fairway toward the hole. The trick is nailing the short iron (almost a blind shot) into the elevated green guarded by bunkers on the front. No. 7 is longer and offers a good chance for birdie, again because of its wide-open nature.
No. 16 is the signature hole: a par 3 masterpiece that plays along a natural spring waterfall. You’ll need to nail a long iron over the valley and avoid the trees that overhang the fairway from the right.
No. 18 is a good finisher–it’s a long par 4 that doglegs left around a few large fairway bunkers, then works its way uphill to an elevated, mound-shaped green surrounded by bunkers. Ups and downs are possible here if you miss the green back left, which is easy to do when you approach with a fairway wood.
Getting there : Only 20 miles northeast of Dallas, take I-75 north to the Stacy Road exit, then turn right and drive to the dead end. The road jogs to the left, then right, and continues as Stacy Road. The entrance is 2 miles down on the left.

Mr. B
There is a group of five players ahead of our twosome from the very beginning of our day. Typically a five some would allow us two players to play through, But these guys did not do so. They seemed to be regular players at this course. We waited 10 to 15 minutes on every shot! We would’ve easily finished an hour earlier if these guys had any golf etiquette or courtesy!
Not worth the money
This course has a beautiful layout. The greens are cut super thin. It doesn’t matter how you bring the ball into the green, it will not stick. The fairways are super dry, and super hard.. You will probably break a wrist tryingto take a divot. Seriously, hitting off mats is a soft lie. From the tips, every single hole is one of the most beautiful and challenging layouts. I have seen in DFW. Unfortunately, my disappointment in the course grew with every hole. I will say that the sand was in great shape. It was soft and loose.
Great course!
Everything about the course was exceptional! Beautiful course and facilities. Carts are top notch. Course is challenging with some great elevations and par 3 holes. Only downgrade for me was the Pro Shop staff. Told them I was checking in and that it was my first time playing there and the only response was, “ well if you don’t need anything else .. you’re all set” . Had to ask where to grab a golf cart, where the range was, where to grab range balls, etc … all asked individually as if the first question wasn’t enough to prompt them to offer some sort of customer service to a first timer there. Didn’t ruin my experience, but left a sour taste on an otherwise great round. Especially at their price point I’d expect more as far as customer service goes.
Great course with great greens
This is a beautiful course with a great layout. Every green was consistent and extremely fast. There are almost no flat spots on any of these greens so look out for some fast down hillers. Layout and design were very aesthetically pleasing. I would highly recommend playing this course.
Golfing at its finest in fairview
The fairways were above average, but the greens were spectacular, although very fast. Beautiful facility, very hilly, so you better be in shape,l.
Overall, a lovely course with above average facilities.
The kitchen and cafe needs some attention. Al types of food safety violations rampant.
Awesome
Course never disappoints. Greens are the best in the metroplex and the course gets better every year. A little pricy but well worth the experience!
Staff was exceptional and very friendly
Pace of play was great. Course layout and greens were great.
Great condition and the Greens were almost perfect
Loved this course. One of the best in the DFW area that I’ve played. A little pricey but had a great time. Loved the layout and condition of the course
Worth the price tag
It’s expensive, but worth it. It’s a great course and everything was in great shape. Very much a country club feel.
Top notch
Great course in great condition for this time of year in North Texas
Great course conditions!
The course was in great condition. Fairways and greens were awesome. Tee boxes were great and even offered sand for your divots. Greens were fast and smooth. Overall one of the better courses I’ve played in DFW. Will definitely be back
Awesome course layout
The fairways are mostly wide open and kept in great shape. Some challenges on this course made it great but the pace of play was terribly bad. over 5 hours for the round easily. Saw the cart girl on hole one and never saw her again. Other than that the course and amenities are awesome.
