About Heritage Ridge Golf Course
Heritage Ridge Golf Club is an 18-hole championship, parkland-style course designed by Dom Fazio (with legacy from LeConte/Ankrom). The greens are Champion Ultra Dwarf, and fairways are Bermuda, offering firm, well-drained surfaces in good condition. From the back (black) tees the yardage is 6,014 yards with par 70, course rating of 69.6, and slope 129. Roughly 81–90 bunkers and about 14 water holes test player strategy across the layout. Notable signature holes include the demanding 8th and compelling closing 18th with protected greens.
Conditionally the layout presents mature palms, subtle elevation shifts, and flowing water features that challenge accuracy and course management. The multi-tee routing also yields Blue (5,818 yd) and White (5,457 yd) options with slopes from 127 to 122 and ratings near 68.9 and 66.8. Green complexes are tiered and undulating, requiring precise approaches and touch around holes like 3, 13, and 18. Water comes into play on many par-5s and long par-4s, with bunkers guarding greens and fairways. The experience demands thoughtful club selection and rewards strategic play rather than pure length.
