Description of Heritage Bay Golf Courses
Heritage Bay features a 27‑hole championship layout by architects Gordon Lewis and Jed Azinger. Fairways are Celebration Bermuda; greens are hand‑mowed TifEagle grass for consistent, fast putting surfaces. Typical course conditions are well‑groomed with strategic bunker placement and abundant water in play. Each possible 18‑hole combination plays par 72 with yardages ranging from roughly 5,800 to 7,185 yards. Slope ratings vary by combo: Cypress/Oak gold: 138, Pine/Cypress gold: 133.
Scorecard details: Cypress/Oak gold tees yield 7,185 yards, rating 74.9, slope 138, par 72. Oak/Pine and Pine/Cypress combinations offer gold yardage near 7,000 yards, slope 134‑137. There are numerous bunkers framing greens and fairways plus water hazards on many holes in each nine. Signature holes emerge where water guards approaches to greens, often on risk‑reward par‑4s. One standout is a long par‑5 dogleg with wetlands flanking both sides and a well‑protected green.
