Heritage Oaks Golf Course
About
Nestled in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley, Heritage Oaks Golf Course sprawls across a diverse terrain that provides the course with plenty of variety. The par-70 layout has both links-style holes and more traditional, tree-lined holes. The front nine is more player friendly. There are some good opportunities to build up your score before facing the tougher back nine. It's a tighter layout with more trees, demanding accuracy and careful course management. A stream meanders through the golf course, connecting to the ponds that also come into play, especially on the back nine. There are also several strategically placed bunkers that lurk along the greensides. The golf course has some challenging holes but it's player friendly enough for beginners to approach with confidence. Four sets of tees make Heritage Oaks G.C. accessible to players of all skill levels.

Not exciting course
Felt it was overpriced for condition of course. Tee boxes chewed up and a lot of debris and bare spots on fairway. No attempt to make course inviting. Unfortunately not many courses around so forced to pay the price. Much prefer Lakeview.
Great course for the price
I play this course all the time. It is a little shorter then your normal course but still has a great layout and provides some challenge. Greens are the best you'll see in the winter months from a public course played alot. Only gripe is it gets pretty slow sometimes, but other than that you absolutely CAN'T BEAT THE PRICE for the quality of the course. I would highly recommend to a friend.
Very good value for the money
Well maintained course with friendly staff.
Heritage Oaks
Course was sloppy wet. Greens and tee boxes could have been cut down more. Layout was ok with a couple of goofy holes (green was 'beside' fairway). Sand traps were not consistent.
Great par 70 outlay.
Friendly professional staff along with a course you can enjoy.
Good Beginning of Season Course
The course was very nice and played on a beautiful day. I would suggest playing the Black tees if you are a good driver.
Something for everyone
This course has a variety of holes that require some strategy off the tee. Even though the course is not long, choosing the right club and then placing your tee shot on the correct side of the fairway is critical in order to score well. There is a free course guide available in the pro shop that is worth picking up. The staff were very friendly as were the individuals I was paired up with. The course is walkable, although there is distance between some greens and the next tee.
hello
A very good place to play golf some holes that a beginner to intermediate golfer has a good chance to par and some holes that are very challenging to that type of golfer
Great weather for a fun round!
This was my first time playing Heritage Oaks, and I had a great time. I was playing with some college friends, and we had a bit of a mix up with how many people were going to be in our group. We only paid for 3, but we had to add a 4th once we got there. Golfnow had put a single with our group of 3 (as we had booked using the app), but he went off with another group and so our foursome was able to go off together. The girl at the front desk was very helpful in handling that tricky situation. The pace of play was pretty good; it was what was to be expected on a beautiful 70 degree day in December. The foursome ahead of us probably finished in just over 4 hours, and so did we. At one point, however, we had one of the female marshalls tell us to keep up with the group ahead of us...I was a bit surprised with this since we had to wait on virtually every tee shot, and were playing at a sub-4 hour pace. We mentioned this to her, and kept playing at the same pace. There was a 2-some behind us, and they were catching up to us, but really that was just the luck of the draw. There was nowhere for them to go. There were groups pretty much all the way in. Otherwise, some course knowledge is helpful as the driver is not always necessary on some holes. My friends had played the course before, and so they knew the lines to take on some of the blind tee shots. Signs along the course would also be helpful since some of the holes are not near each other at all. The course winds around, and so it would be helpful for there to be some more signs directing where to go on some of the longer drives between holes. The course was in good shape; the bunkers weren't great, but that's kind of expected at this time of year. The fairways were in really good shape, and the greens were also well kept. They rolled pretty well, and were receptive to well played shots. A lot of the tee boxes were moved up (as is common during the winter to preserve the grass), and so the course was not overly long. We played from the gold tees, and the card said they measured in at about 5900 yards, but it was probably a couple hundred yards short of that with the tees being moved up. It made some of the holes risk-reward, as a well played drive left only a sand wedge into a lot of the par 4s! We had a great afternoon, and next time I am in the Harrisonburg area, I will be sure to play again.
Love this Place
One of the best courses in the state..Greens in very good condition..
Excellent course, but very rude staff.
Course conditions were perfect, but the pro shop staff treated us rudely for no reason.
Great course, great weathe.
I was on vacation when I booked this course thru GolfNow and the course was great and the weather was great. I'll definitely come back when ever I book this resort again.
Excellent Municipal Course
Knowledge of this course is very helpful. Many dog-legs both left and right. Shot placement and distance is also important. The free course guide or GPS is highly recommended. I love courses such as this one because you don't just pull the driver and let it rip. Holes have ample width. Golf cart paths are in excellent condition but weave around the course without too many signs. There are many water coolers located on this course but only 1 portable toilet located between 13 and 14. The greens are in fairly good ccondition. The sprinkler system is un-manned so just be careful. I will play this course again when I am in the area.
Best round ever
I can not say anything bad about this course. I enjoyed it and shot the best game of my life. Tees, fairway and greens where well kept and had just enough challenges. Would recommend this course to anyone.
very nice course
For a public course it was in great shape, my daughter was playing in a high school regional tournament the next day so we played as a practice round. People there was super nice. I will play there again for sure.
Pretty nice for a municipally run course
Only problem was that the back 9 was closed for aeration. I feel that we should have been notified of that fact before arriving at the course.
this course is worth the time to play
I have played this course many times and its getting better each time. Its a good course for scoring
Great course
I love Heritage Oaks and choose to only play here. I've played most of the surrounding courses and honestly you can't get a better deal than here. Some days there are deals on golf now for $19 for a cart and 18... Phenomenal price. The course is in perfect condition, and staff are so nice and accommodating, unlike quite a few judgemental old guys I've seen at other courses. The front nine is mostly open, so you have some forgiveness to begin the round, and the back nine gets more challenging. I love the course and will only play here in the future. I'm a decent golfer and still find it pretty challenging, and I'd recommend this course to people of any skill level.
Great and a must play
This course was in perfect condition. fairways and greens super. Also the tee boxes. It was wet and so it was cart path only. The only drawback were the greens were a bit slow but thats because they had no chance to cut them due to the rain. If you get the chance play this muni and it was only $29 on the VSGA card and that was on a Sunday morning! Great course.
